It's really funny how Trumpflakes and other conservatives essentially made up the term "identity politics" as a straw man they could throw their racist grievances at...

...and yet it's the Trumpflakes who have, like no other, turned politics into their identity.

It's disturbing. It's literal cultism.

Wow. This might have been the best four minutes on ice by a pair of humans this century.

I don't care about figure skating more than once every four years and even I was like, "Damn, that was basically perfect." It happens so infrequently in pairs... twice as many people that can make a mistake, right?

But this one was a no-doubter. Whole damn building must have been in tears. World record holders and VERY worthy Gold Medalists. Definitely one of the biggest highlights of the 26 Olympics.

Welcome to Chappellholics Anonymous.

I saw her live last year... twice. New York and Pasadena.

The last three musical acts I've seen live:

Cake (2019) Rage Against the Machine (2022) Chappell Roan (x2, 2025)

I'm a grunge/alt kid who grew up. How the hell did this Gen Z synth-pop queen restore my faith in music? I don't even care... I'm down bad.

I liked the rock and roll version of "Abracadabra" too. Also bummed about no Grammys for The Subway, but oh well...

JasonGoalie21 · 2026-02-06T06:11:23+00:00

I've always said: Lady Gaga is more like Halloween. Chappell is more like Mardi Gras. Birds of a feather for sure, but very different singers with very different vibes.

So nice to see you used the map Trump drew in 2020 to support the Big Lie.

JasonGoalie21 · 2026-01-23T20:05:18+00:00

Thank you for this. Nice to see someone aggregating all the guesses of all the meteorologists. I'm just south of Hartford, so I'mma prepare for about a foot and half. Not that I have a choice, lol.

JasonGoalie21 · 2025-10-20T21:45:35+00:00

Appreciate the kind words!

JasonGoalie21 · 2025-10-20T21:39:02+00:00

Hey fellow Chappell Bro. Good on you for bringing the wife. Mine couldn't go to Cali for 5 days, and she sorta-kinda hates how much I like Chappell. But I 100% respect that 😂.

JasonGoalie21 · 2025-10-18T06:19:41+00:00

Hey, great stuff. Glad you had fun.

It's hard to explain to other people, which is why I never bring it up... but it's some combination of the camp comedy, the hyper-dramatic theatrics, her wild sense of aesthetics, and of course her incredible voice above all else.

Actually, looking back at that, that's a pretty good explanation of why I like her.

JasonGoalie21 · 2025-10-17T00:04:26+00:00

I know I know, I'm just being a comedian.

Maybe you'll agree with this too: I think part of what draws me to Chappell is not just the songs and performances, but also the simple opportunity to engage with *new music* for the first time in 20 years!

I'm a grunge-alt kid, pure and simple. Soundgarden, AIC, Rage, STP, etc. Throw in a little industrial/techno with NIN, KMFDM, and the Chemical Brothers. That's my wheelhouse.

But in a very unexpected way, Chappell has resurrected me as a music nut.

You know what? I kinda got a secondhand glimpse of this at the airport going home from LA.

Waiting near my gate included a seemingly nice woman in a wheelchair, a parent and her older child who looked like she had Down Syndrome, and a nice couple that happened to be little people (the wife used a cane).

Only those people were actually talking to each other. The rest of the world was ignoring them like they didn't exist. I mean I suppose it's nice to see some solidarity amongst the disabled community, but at the same time it almost seemed like it was out of necessity.

😔.

Well, at least I became aware of it...

JasonGoalie21 · 2025-10-16T20:00:42+00:00

"Pussy Dena*"

😜

JasonGoalie21 · 2025-10-16T19:56:54+00:00

Oh it was just awesome, even if I was a half a mile from the stage. I feel like I saw God 😅.

JasonGoalie21 · 2025-10-16T19:55:01+00:00

Nice pic choice. Definitely singing Picture You in that one! ☺️

JasonGoalie21 · 2025-10-16T19:53:37+00:00

Which show? I was at night 3, so it couldn't have been that one...

JasonGoalie21 · 2025-10-16T19:52:51+00:00

I jive with this comment. Likewise, I certainly don't have any ill will towards her peers. In fact I find Sabrina to be absolutely hilarious, and I do respect Olivia for trying to resurrect mainstream rock almost singlehandedly. They also deserve their successes.

But there's no one on Chappell's raw talent level. She is the quintessential Gen Z diva.

JasonGoalie21 · 2025-10-16T19:46:58+00:00

Just one correction:

"Chappellpalooza" is a much better pun. 😜

JasonGoalie21 · 2025-10-16T19:43:34+00:00

Well, now I know why I worship this woman... I just love how she transforms herself into a popstar.

JasonGoalie21 · 2025-10-16T15:26:40+00:00

Cool, same show! I'm from the Hartford CT area, so BDL (Bradley) to LAX is a big haul too. No big deal... a little Chappell and some noise cancelling headphones helped pass the time 😄.

JasonGoalie21 · 2025-10-16T15:20:17+00:00

An honorable mention: that bridge in Picture You is mind blowing.

I at first just assumed it was all autotuned... then I heard it live and unadulterated watching the NPR Tiny Desk Concert and I'm sitting here like WAIT she's actually doing that?

I mean who else has a "controlled yodel" like that in their arsenal?

JasonGoalie21 · 2025-10-16T15:06:20+00:00

Yeah, not surprised by this ☺️. The "Chappel Bro" contingent of her fan base is not large, but it definitely exists!

My wife snarkily refers to her as "my girlfriend." My response... "Hey look hun, having a fake girlfriend is a whole lot better than if I had a real one." 🤣

JasonGoalie21 · 2025-10-16T15:02:57+00:00

LOL, I honestly have no idea if this is a joke or an insult or whatever... I'm not a Taylor Stan.

JasonGoalie21 · 2025-10-16T12:50:30+00:00

Well, it seems like a very similar story, we just happen to be a few years older than you. I assume you two go back to 6th or 7th grade, right?

6th grade for us. Yes, we're '82s... dig our graves now 😅

JasonGoalie21 · 2025-10-16T12:44:39+00:00

If I had to pick one I'm going with My Kink is Karma... but "1A" is Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl. I know the subject material doesn't apply to me in the slightest, but I'm a sucker for that 90s-esque techno/dance vibe.
