Episode 50
Now we are 50 and in pretty good shape, with a stonker of a podcast for you.
Girl For Samson – Jehovah
Girl For Samson start us off with a great tune. Proper friends of the podcast, mainly because we love their music and they say nice things about me. Yes, I’m that shallow.
Here’s what JM sent me:
“Here’s the first new Girl For Samson track since the 2025 album Blend All The Seasons. Girl For Samson are a three-piece recording band based in Kansas City.”

Poppy Marynns feat Corey Jones – All I Want
Next up is Poppy Marynns featuring Corey Jones. Poppy has really upped the bar with this one. He just keeps getting better and better, and it shows.
Poppy is very into ReverbNation, which is where you will find out all about him and what he’s up to.
Ger Eaton – I Thought I’d A Friend
In third place is Ger Eaton with a track that is an absolute masterpiece of songwriting and production.
Talking of writing, here’s a bit of his bio:
Ger Eaton is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, hair stylist and retro-vintage aficionado. This iconic and stylish gentleman is most recently known as keyboardist and guitarist for Dublin alt-rock heroes The Pale.
He has long been a revered mainstay of the Irish music scene as a member of Premonition, Las Vegas Basement, Les Marionettes, Pugwash and The Carnival Brothers, alongside numerous solo and collaborative projects. He has recorded and toured extensively with artists including Mundy, Duke Special, Jack L and Fionn Regan, and has played everywhere from Glastonbury Festival to Later with Jools Holland.
Following a run of singles throughout the 2020s, Eaton’s debut album Season Changes has arrived via the Dimple Discs label. He describes his sound as “Renaissance Pop” and the album as an old-fashioned break-up record, charting the emotional arc of a long relationship from bloom to winter.
Ger is a Bandcamp user, so that’s the best place to head if you want to explore further.
Laptop – Confused
And finally, the mighty Laptop with Confused.
Here are the bio bits:
Written in response to January 6, the track captures the psychological whiplash of watching democratic reality fracture in real time, filtered through the perspective of a man glued to the news, overwhelmed by noise, grievance and spectacle.
Rather than narrating events, “Confused” documents the mental fallout. Lines such as “They claim that they’re abused” and “Not quite the Reichstag fire” place the song firmly in the present, not as commentary but as diagnosis.
Threaded with dry and unsettling irony, the song leaves the listener with a queasy recognition that everyone sounds convinced, everyone sounds wrong, and certainty itself has become the least reliable narrator.
We got the joke. Did you? For all the info on this great band, shake the tree and see what falls out.
And there we have it. Was it a stonker? Do you feel stonked?
