Happy 2025, hope it's as good as it can be. Let's get to it. This mix took a while to put together, but I somehow buckled down and got er done. For some reason, this year seemed like a stellar year for great music. Gonna try not to get super into it, but yeah, there is a lot I liked. 123 tracks. Just under 8 hours. I probably need to learn how to filter shit out and just do a top ten or twenty like a normal person. Standard disclaimer, this is just stuff I liked and listened to, I'm sure I've...

I never listened to The Gits back in the early 90s when they came up. I had heard the name, I think Kurt Cobain had championed them back then, but not the music.

I am loving this new Ethel Cain song. So fucking good. Her new album is coming in January, I hope it's as good as this song. 

Kate Bush back in the news, as she's put out a new video for Snowflake (from 50 Words for Snow). It shows a little shrew trying to survive in a bombed city and a request to donate to War Child UK, a charity that specializes in rights of children affected by war and conflict. Watch the video below and click here if you'd like to learn more.   

The cover I didn't know I needed, I love it so much. Snail Mail covering Smashing Pumpkins' Tonight, Tonight. Seems like she started playing it live a few years ago, then it showed up earlier this year on the soundtrack for I Saw the TV Glow (cool movie, btw), and now it's out in the universe. Press play.
