My Top 100 Albums list for 2025, unranked like I always do.
With the music industry and economy as toxic and classist as it is right now, the fact that we got any independent releases at all this year is incredible.

@funkentechno Personally, I donβt think this is something you or geoff should get defensive about. AC arenβt guilty by association or whatever. They absolutely were enjoyed by the same people who listened to the other bands in this hipster discourse.
I forgot I ordered this, came in the mail last month. Tim Berneβs Broken Shadows playing the music of Ornette, Haden, Hemphill, Redmanβ¦ free jazz classics!
@NICKDOTPNG@cowboy_postbop Exactly why I hate the practice of grading art with a numerical value. It encourages these kinds of myopic views. Honestly, Ebert wins here again. His and Siskelβs βthumbs upβ system is much easier for me to get behind, as it doesnβt stoke this idea of art as competitive.
@wheredidshefly Portugal. The Man did exactly this on Censored Colors, one of their earlier releases. They recorded some children saying βTurn me overβ. Scared the shit out of me the first time I played it, because I wasnβt expecting it.
HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT
I canβt believe I scored these Loren Mazzacane grails, somehow still sealed after all these year!!
Most of these were lost, or destroyed by Loren. This feels impossible somehow. My best finds of the year, and maybe everβ¦
@NeeelsAbel Maybe you should have a seat yourself, because I was being intentionally difficult here, as a bit.
Iβll give you cool jazz because itβs an area Iβm still mostly foggy on πββοΈ
