The Bear>Moby segue from Goosemas is outrageously smooth 🫠

Vibing on a snowy day 🛥️

The fact that so many people in the JOTY comments are calling them 'underrated' or 'underseeded' tells me that not only are they seeded well, but that there were a lot of awesome jams in 2025

My least favorite criticism of a jam that stays in or around a single pocket the entire time is that it 'does nothing'. It's often a feature, not a bug of the jam. I’ll take this GR 1/2 Step over jams with several different average, ultimately unforgettable sections any day

NGL, the TOR Arcadia is really really good...

I have found myself drawn to late 60s youthful Dead since the Bobby news broke

First spin. Excellent Xmas present from my awesome daughter 🥰

The Gilford Myst fell out of the top 15 for me on relistens, but the live experience of it was a huge reason I go to shows. Both things are true

This jam 👇. I hope it wins a round or 2. I adore it

Just barely made my list but I probably should have put it higher. Would love to see more stretched out, bracket-worthy Bornes return in 2026

Thank you @hosewood.bsky.social for articulating how a lot of us feel about the GR 1/2 Step. Stunning, gorgeous full band performance that may fall outside of what many people feel a “good” jam should be, but a style that some of us absolutely adore

I have the MKE Madh #1 and I already think that I may vote against it in rd 2. T’is the season

If this is real, nicely played PETA

I would love for the Gilford Rockdale to get far in the JOTY voting just to see people comment on the ending

Stranger Things WSQK radio station neon sign might be my favorite Xmas gift

JOTY 2025: Done tinkering. JOTY list done. As usual, fun albeit frustrating process. But more than that, it's a great reference point for how I/we felt during the year & what we want to come back to. Thank you to all involved for putting this together. 2nu.gs/3MX1IJ5 @aatgoosepod.bsky.social

2025 JOTY Prediction time: The 2 Feb Madhuvans and MKE EMG are locks for the top 3. Giving #4 to the Bend Thatch, but I could see the Westville AIN sneaking in there (I have it #2).

@justjolley.bsky.social might just be the greatest human out there. What a gift! 🎁

Listening to the SF Hoff and it's just an excellent vibe. I'm about at the point where I hear a jam like this and say, I should move this up. Then I go to my list and I don't want to put it above anything else. The list feels done I guess

The Grand Rapids Madhuvan is a just a relentless freight train of confusion, tension, delight and angry psychedelia

Unless my math isn't mathing, getting Mag and HDPF in the same show is rare (~28 instances incl last night). Getting them in the same set is a much rarer treat: 12 instances (with only 4 post 1.0). #Biscology

Up there with my favorite sets of the year

Nite Zero Band soundcheck! Watch us live on nugs at 7:45 ET 😁

I wrote about more music than ever this year at No Expectations, so I compiled what I think are the 100 Best Albums of 2025. If you don't recognize a lot of the names here, don't worry. That's the point. I hope you find something new to dig. www.noexpectations.fyi/p/the-100-be...

Hot take: Slots 50-64 of people's JOTY list gives more insight into their taste than slots 1-10

CCP Alert/Debate: 2/13 Half-Step. I say it sounds like Castle on the Hill. @turnedclouds.bsky.social thinks it’s something from the 90s he can’t quite place. Thoughts?

T’is the season for Queen Ella

WE'RE ON NUGS THIS YEAR which means we're definitely a real band Can't wait for Thursday!!!
