Not Five Songs

Well well well, if it isn’t my old blog. Sorry about the false start the other day, turns out I wasn’t quite ready to bring this thing back full time. I did kick around changing formats and even got as far as discussing things with another person, and that was enough to derail me. But enough of the Jim Anchower routine, I have business to get to! It’s time to look at 2025 releases and absolutely fail to rank them. Massive respect for all the writers out there who do produce a list, that shit seems really hard. No, I’m going to cop out, put some half-assed “awards” here, and mostly just write a little about the albums that have really stuck with me for this year.

I wanted to write about music, and thought about writing about some 2022 albums I liked. I started typing it up for a private Discord and then remembered, duh, I actually have a music blog. So let’s blow the dust off this thing and post about some music I liked. “Best” is meaningless here, as any of these albums might strike my fancy on any particular day, and ranking them seems extremely iffy. Will any of these albums be in regular rotation next year? Five years? I have no idea. So, this is just a list of some releases you might have missed that I liked, and maybe you should check them out.
