A farewell to our Summer Sessions, after the break!
Greetings! I'm sad to be closing Summer 2025. Wish I spent more time writing and less time doom-scrolling as YT streamed in the background. Need to actively break that cycle in the days ahead, you know? Get back to the motivation and the mission. Will keep the focus from breaking from daily stress.
Did I listen to heaps of New Music during these two and a half months? Absolutely! Think I have rated over a hundred 2025 projects over on Musicboard (and close to 100 movies via Letterboxd). Even though I keep jumping back into my dusty classics. Regularly seeing my Favorite Albums of 2015 in our monthly Top 5 hasn't helped. Draws this listener back instantly.
Picked up CHVRCHES' 'Screen Violence' once more recently too.
Anyway! Still unsure if I'm gonna keep supporting $potify in the months ahead after troubling news broke about some of their business practices & decisions. Might move this series' playlist to YT next time? All these companies aren't perfect. Nor do they choose to be. Just the times we live in, I guess? YT actually works better logistically as $potify no longer supports my aging Mac Airbook. Can finish these playlists much quicker if I make the jump. *ponders* Apple Music is also another viable option. Stay tuned!
Until then, here's 200+ buzzworthy new songs from August 2025 featuring plenty old & new favs like Florence + The Machine, Chance the Rapper, Of Monsters & Men, Craig David, Kings Elliot, mansionair, Tropics, Wolf Alice, etc...
Enjoy! More music soon!
