Hanging tough, after the break!
Greetings!
And we're back!
New Year... same us!
Well, sort of. Yes I'm still collecting and collating new music time capsules for all visiting listeners, but you won't read many trendy opinions in these blurbs moving forward. That's being saved for the upcoming fresh "Listened List" Series... which will drop quarterly! The first post is currently scheduled for March 30th. There will be scores / ratings this time around. Hopefully everything matches my imaginary vision board.
I can spoil that this listener became obsessed with Zach Bryan's 'With Heaven On Top' and its acoustic bonus edition at the start of 2026 after floundering around with missed 2025 albums and some old school (redacted) hip hop projects. Took a few weeks to break that dirty funk, but now I'm on-pace with the 2026 new music release schedule.
And yes... I felt overwhelmed by last week's drops. Already sense we're so far behind. Luckily (and sadly), many aren't really hitting hard. Hoping albums like 'DON'T BE DUMB' smack back in a few months because this listener thought it was just fine. Maybe that's on me though. My musical soul really grasping for Indie Folk, Country, R&B, and Jazz right now. Listening to our playlist below is helping. It is currently playing on shuffle as I write these words. Really loving the vibrant styles blaring from my speakers.
Consider this your definite palate cleanser as we lock the door on 2025 and open the sails for 2026! Ready to ride the soundwaves once more? Let's lock in!
More music, (words),, and shopping opportunities (?) soon!
