Pope Guilty IV

Happy Pride! Shout out everybody. We love love. And wendigos. Class is in session. We discuss and learn about some openly queer musicians, and their permanent impact on the music landscape. Get your composition notebooks out for a very important lesson on what a PRO (Performing Rights Organization) is, and why all musicians should be affiliated with them. History class will take us back to the 13th century when a not-so-innocent pope dropped a new type of mass. Speaking of mass. Our musical feature is from "Red Mass Ritual", and we’ll listen to their song "Sometimes Dead is Better”. This song is off their E.P. “Burgundy Horror“, released on Halloween, 2024. Representing the band is Vinny - their guitarist - as he gives us his legal take on wendigos. Links below.Each episode will feature an independent musical artist. Our intention is to uplift the worldwide local music scenes. To have your music featured on the podcast, email us at: [email protected]. You must own the rights to your music.
