This is where I will catch up on all the music I missed this year! Kinda had a year off from listening to loads of music in 2025. Got burnt out putting on events and surrounding my every waking moment with music so I deferred to podcasts and movies or just silence. I’m ready to dip my toes in again - especially as I’m buying a new stereo this week - yiewww

Nice.
I’d omitted Rythm Dr and Morning Dubs from my thinking about 2025 lists. Great records.

Didn’t buy many new albums as far as I can see. Although I missed the Rhythm Dr and Morning Dubs from my thinking which someone else mentioned and both are excellent. The Init album also got repeated plays. As did Joe’s, especially poolside on holiday.
The one I said for Furtive 50 was: Courtney Bailey - In Dream LP. The track Like A Heaven made it for me.
