Merry Christmas & Happy Holiday season listeners!

I've been busy lately publishing our Favs of 2025 blurbs, haven't I? It's nice to have the time. Being off for three weeks from the day job allows for my random thoughts to appear. Planning on finishing the impending drafts in-between SoCal day trips. Please keep checking back in on That Buzzing Sound if you're not following our socials. Will be posting heaps! Find it quite nice to share posts (like this one) with all the SM fanfare. Advertising is necessary after all.

Hope you all fill your souls with family, friends, food, media, travel, and relaxation these next couple of weeks! I'll be doing the same. More words & words soon!

LET THE SUMMERTIME SESSIONS BEGIN!

Sorry for the lack of updates. Had to give all my energy to the final stretch of my day job. We have definitely earned this two and half month summer vacation. Meaning my focus will be on you and this music space, dear readers! Plan on sitting on this couch a lot during another SoCal heat wave. Look forward to new adventures to drop sooner than later.

Already have two new entries (One Journal & a indie Showcase) scheduled this week. (spoilers)

Our next Monday Mixtape will drop near June's conclusion as it will encompass my favorite new music and email requests for this month and May. Maybe your new favorite artist or band make the popular playlist series? I haven't spent much time listening to fresh 2025 tracks as NuMetal classics helped propel me through those crazy May days especially MCR's 'Three Cheers...' Anniversary Edition. So I'm really looking forward to experiencing everything I missed. Hungry for a new soundtrack for these evolving days.

That's everything about the days to come. Happy to be back! Let's create some musical memories...together!
