Best Music 🎵 of 2025!

THEY'RE TOURING SOON OMFG

Dogsbody was one of my top10 from 2023.
At the time, Dogsbody was my #7 of 2023. Since then I'd say it's definitely in my Top5 for that year. To say that I'm fucking pumped for this new album, especially after hearing this single, is an understatement..

I may consider trying to see them in Chicago đź‘€

Edit: nevermind, they are in Chicago THIS Saturday, lol.

The more I hear the more I like...


I ordered it in Amazon in January but I got an email saying it won't come until the 16th. I asked if anything could be done as I'd be waiting over 2 week after the release date for that one. They told me there was a problem with billing which makes no sense to me as I paid with gift cards and the other 2 items in my order shipped with no issues.
They said i might have to cancel and reorder it if I still want it as it might not ship otherwise. That's annoying as I spent enough to get free shipping as I don't have prime and I don't want to pay shipping on the album. If I have to cancel it I might end up getting preachers daughter, portrait of my heart or another album instead of this one.
 
February 2025: 60 newly released albums checked out this month (104 newly released albums for the year). Here's a 4x4 of my favorite albums from this month. Atmospheric black metal was the standout genre for me this month. I've also include a Spotify playlist with one song selected from each album (alphabetized by the artist).

For the past two or three years now, I have been sending a handful of friends a monthly 10 song playlist of odds and ends that caught my ear over the preceding month, and usually got played a lot while I was streaming. There's no set metric for what makes it and what doesn't—sometimes something quirky and whimsical slips in, and sometimes my choices may be a bit predictable ("ooooh, another month with a Moor Mother track or collaboration, how shocking!") The most important thing is I very much enjoy the songs, and I really love putting the playlist together. Some months it's hard to whittle the accumulated tracks down to 10* and others it can be pretty easy.

Anyhow, I figured this year I'd share here for kicks in case any of y'all are interested:



*while there is no set metric in place, often songs that appear in my top 9 for a given month are some of the first to get whittled away from the playlist, which is why, for instance, "****ology 101" by Lambrini Girls didn't make this edition of the playlist, despite being an absolute jam that I definitely played a LOT.
