Distorted Opinions

A show about music, gear, and everything in between. Hosted by Kayla, Matt, and Ted with guest host

17/03/2023

We know things have been quiet around here, but fear not, the Distorted Opinions crew is still talking and playing music behind the scenes. Since we don’t have any new shows at this time, we thought we’d revisit our St. Patrick’s Day episode this weekend! Find it here: https://bit.ly/do_stpatricks

We also have a special playlist for St. Patrick’s Day, so if you want to keep the festivities going today and all weekend, be sure to check that out here: https://bit.ly/distortedops_celticplaylist

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone! ☘️

In honor of the recent release of Top Gun: Maverick (which you can bet Matt has already seen), we bring you a throwback to last year's Movie Soundtrack episode promo. Somehow Facebook didn't upload it in HD, so be sure to go watch it over on YouTube at https://youtu.be/6izYddwyav4.

Check out the whole episode where we talk at length about the original Top Gun soundtrack at https://youtu.be/6vxxjuSinIY.

If you haven't checked out our latest episode, it's jam packed with all kinds of important information and music discussion...Such as a call to the Hall & Oates Emergency Hotline. Yes, it is a real thing. Be sure to check out the whole episode by heading to our Linktree at https://linktr.ee/distortedopinions.

Also, in case you missed the announcement in recent episodes (and because we haven't been great about posting to social media lately), we're going to be taking a hiatus at episode 104, which is FOUR episodes away. That will be our 2 year anniversary, which means we've released a new episode every week for two years streaight. We've decided we need a bit of a break, but look forward to resuming the show with a renewed energy, more guests, more music discussion and maybe even some episodes recorded in person! If you're just finding us, we've got plenty of episodes to keep you busy for a while, so be sure to check out our past episodes once our hiatus is under way.
