Breaking Concrete Blonde’s Bloodletting

Published on: 4th May, 2026

This week we dark a dark turn with the Album Bloodletting by Concrete Blonde. A dark work, the album would mark the last time the band would be able to handle such material again. Long a favorite band of many musicians including local megastars Propagandhi, the album cemented a place in my own greatest albums of all time list, with a perfect 10 out of 10. But just why is that and why does this album not get the spins on Sean’s CD Player that often anymore. We go deep folks and travel into some dark territory, so be warned and take heed, this episode might not be for you. If you are triggered by content that deals with death, depression and suicide, please skip this one. This episode was helping me deal with my own trauma and I needed to do this for me. And if this helps someone else, I am incredibly grateful.

Hi, I am Sean "SeanGeek" McGinity. And I am a geek. For me, the definition of the word geek comes from liking something so much, that I deep dive into it. Not just consuming it... but becoming it. I "geek out". Everything started with comics. I read them and studied them with a fine eye, and then started making my own. Since then, I have "geeked out" on movies (Star Wars The Evil WIthin, Hurt), music writing, recording, and performing (The Classic Embers and Dome), writing (the Symka comic and the upcoming Intuitives novel), and now... this Podcast.

Hey guys, SeanGeek here. Just to be clear, this is me geeking out on Todd "FastFretFingers" McGinity here. Todd is the GOAT. My brother is an established musician, mastering the Fretboard with a blistering discipline. If there was a guitar style, tone, pitch... Todd would find a way to replicate it. From his early days mastering Van Halen and Rush, his musical palate has expanded with forays into classical and flamenco, hard rock, blues and pop. From live performances to learning the recording process, when it comes to music, he has done it all.

A lover of stories, beer, and cats, and a master of none. Catch me talking to Geek Boy every so often for the latest comic book TV show or movie, Star Wars, board games and other things cool. Hear me give my two cents, relate them to other things I know, and make other recommendations!
