Where you gonna be? Where will you spend eternity? I'm gonna be perfect from now on. I'm gonna be perfect starting now.

I don't post grid anymore because (*gestures broadly to everything around*)... What's the point?! But I still generate and save them every week for my own future amusement. This one however is worth posting if only as a bookend: here's Casa del Ollie's most played albums of the year 2025.

Indeed.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Viva a liberdade!

Here’s a fun @brosaleigh.bsky.social for @tapeclub.substack.com! tapeclub.substack.com/p/designing-...

Three weeks ago I handpicked my favorite albums released this year: 51 of them. Good year (for music). Have now listened to them all and been distilling this to about 15, might give it one more pass and release the ollieFANS shortlist soon. It's been super fun. #music #NoGrid

Can all the folk who just got reminded that they’ve listened to a tonne of music on streaming this year, have a look at the music they heard and buy some on bandcamp today? 🫡🙏🏼

If you're only having one new music discovery today, make sure it's Sabine McCalla's Don't Call Me Baby. Der Ollie Haus wishes you have lots and lots of good music whatever you do in your life. #music #FridayGrid

Untrue, unkind and unnatural. How the cruel - with time - becomes classical. (VW) La Casa del Ollie hopes you're having a good day and wishes you listen to lots of good music this weekend. Here's our top spinners: #music #FridayGrid

Hey MCat @ihavethatonvinyl.com see if you like this kid (I love her stuff, Avalon and Fig Tree are personal fav 2025 singles): music.apple.com/br/album/van...

A day later, a dollar short... but we grid. The House of Ollie wishes you haven't crashed down from copious amounts of ingested candy and prescribes music as the best sugar rush medicine. #music #FridayGrid

The wisdom of a fool won't set you free...

Good lawd, Bro's voice on this is heartmelting. I love how much I didn't know I need this.

Diversify. Minds, tastes, culture.

This album was released today and it's an instant favorite. Also, Canadian. I'm floored how good it is, take a risk on something new? Listen wherever you stream music: tidal.com/album/441063... Buy it and keep it close to your heart forever: juliannariolinosings.bandcamp.com/album/echo-i...

You are not alone. Only automatic now... #music #FridayGrid

This here grid brought to you by the Weekly Bro. Now cooking with even more gas every week. -- Anyways, have a great end of the week, fill your life with music, own up to your own (individual and collective) mistakes and DO BETTER. Love, O. #music #FridayGrid

I get by with a little help from my friends, I get high with a little help from my friends, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends... (RS). Tis Friday, we grid. Here are the top spinners at Das Ollie Haus #music #FridayGrid

"Human centipede of content"

If you see this, QTP with a GIF of a vampire that isn't Dracula

When you were young you were the king of carrot flowers, and how you built a tower tumbling through the trees in holy snakes that fell all around your feet (NMH). -- Happy Friday, another week done, have a great weekend filled with good music. #music #FridayGrid

Geese - Getting Killed. This album is really, really good. It rewards multiple listens like only the great ones do. Probably AOTY material, if not for some revolving door themed band that also released this year. Listen: tidal.com/album/440082... Buy: geesebandnyc.bandcamp.com/album/gettin...

A very happy birthday to you! Yes, you. 26th September is the most popular birthday in the UK, as well as the USA and New Zealand. Take a look at a calendar and count backwards by 39 weeks to find out why...

THERE'S A BOMB IN MY CAR! On and on and on, on and on and on... (Geese) -- Here at Casa del Ollie we've been practicing the fine art of music as therapy since the mid-70s, thank you v. much. #music #FridayGrid

But do you really wanna fall apart? Do you really wanna break my heart in two?! (All because you know I care, all because you know I'm there). #music #FridayGrid

re-upping this because I want to be playing to full rooms of HEROES x

Either The OA or John From Cincinnati. Probably JFC. "My father runs the mega-millions"

Everybody, everybody just wanna fall in love. Everybody, everybody just wanna play the lead. Watch out cupid, stuck me with a sickness, pull your little arrows out and let me live my life. --EH #music #FridayGrid

David Lynch and a cow (2006)

‘Booty’ and ‘butt’ are synonyms. ‘Call’ and ‘dial’ are synonyms. But, a ‘booty call’ and a ‘butt dial’ are VERY different things.

Hey so just fyi, if you're abandoning trans rights you're abandoning all civil rights At that point what the fuck is the point of the democracy you're willing to sacrifice trans people for This actually isn't hard at all, quit making it pretend hard because you finally feel scared too

A shot in the heart doesn't make it un-break.

1) Any excuse to listen to more PERENNIAL; 2) OMG NEW PERENNIAL SURPRISE RELEASE!!!

I'm listening to this album a lot this morning (it's been a minute) and IT IS JUST SO GOOD, so since it's Bandcamp Friday I want to redirect whoever it may concern to give it a go, it's life changing stuff and I hope my bro JP realizes how much joy she brought us and how much she's loved!

I want to cry in the arms of somebody that knows me. I think I've been trying, but I don't want anybody to know me. (JP) #music #FridayGrid

Agreed 100%, BC! You can always support by purchasing digital music, even though some will tell you it's not a "morally praiseworthy" way of supporting. Don't listen to them.

Watch me and you'll see just what I'm worth. Yes, I'll bloom, baby, bloom. Every flower needs to neighbor with the dirt. #music #FridayGrid

I selected a bunch of albums to listen to at work today but only heard one, on repeat: the new Wolf Alice (The Clearing). So refreshing to listen to a rock album that sounds like a rock band playing. Drums raw, well mic'd. Bass that sound like bass, recorded from amp, no dsp plugin b.s. -- a joy!

Time's even more and more deceiving. You got my back, I need you back, back with our feet above the earth again. Making things matter makes the years fly by... The tender life. #music #FridayGrid
