2025 was a bit strange. No clear AOTY for me, and after a good 2024 for listening to more music, I fell off somewhat bigly. I WILL listen to more music in 2026 and I WILL write at least 12 articles on incredibly niche music ideas!!

Today was a good day to walk 5 miles in the snow.

It's 20 years later and all these dogshit Pluribus takes are really vindicating Jeff Bridges in The Squid and the Whale when he called everyone a philistine.

I watched that Balkan coffee shop TikTok last night and got sucker punched by nostalgia for noughties trance music. I have such an emotional connection to this song, and this performance specifically. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZHC...

Hello friends, been listening to my Top Tracks of 2025 playlist, as well as the one from 2024. I also saw a post of a cat, which got Your Cat stuck in my head, and then I proceeded to binge Slaughter Beach, Dawg. Here is me walking in the woods. #5x5

Separating the art from the artist, and it's Bobby Flay and his fall sangria recipe.

My longest running Thanksgiving tradition is listening to this song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVW-...

Goatee Bruce is so powerful.

Not sure how I managed to get 25 albums on here since I have had Home Front and Broken Record on repeat for 7 days straight. #5x5

Another astral body to add to this... Elliott Smith playing one of the most beautiful songs ever written with a lit cigarette stashed in his headstock. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSOe...

you're not cooked, but the oven is heating up.

This might be the most beautiful YouTube video I have ever seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKwW...

Unfortunately my New Englander card is in jeopardy since my phone is officially too old to run the Dunkin' app.

Very good music continues to be released at an alarming rate. #5x5

Hi @inthesetimes.com, I think your RSS feed is broken (yes, people still use RSS lol). It fails validation here: validator.w3.org/feed/check.c... I discovered it in the same manner as this issue, so this may be the solution: github.com/FreshRSS/Fre... Thanks for all you do!

Bro why are there tears in my eyes...

Accountability posting about the pieces I need to write: -Madison Cunningham -2 Bright Eyes -Frontier Ruckus -Men I Trust -Colorful Releases -Year in review type thing

Death by Lightning has one of the most stacked cast of white dudes I've ever seen.

Bill Murray & The Blood Brothers would have been way cooler...

Twilight was 15 years ago, you can enjoy this song again... www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNXU...

PLASMA UPDATED TO 6.5! NO MORE BAR IN THE CLOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thinking about that one time Gregory Alan Isakov covered "The Trapeze Swinger" and he just knew all the lyrics off the dome. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiX4...

"Reggie Ledoux" was the top vocal stim of 2014.

Looking out a window with your hands on your hips and sighing wistfully >>>

Was September 12 the most colorful day of the year for album releases? The Blue Nowhere - Between the Buried and Me Blueprints - Umphrey's McGee The Golden Heart Protector - Margaret Glaspy Pink Moon - Silverstein

Not enough people talking about the sheer amount of riffs and solos released on September 12 of this year.

You do not realize that you need to listen to a live Laura Veirs album featuring a school choir, but I am telling you that you do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=chq_...

Mark Ruffalo is definitely wearing a fake beer belly in Task.

The petite bourgeoisie "creatives" of the aughts, in their desperate attempt to remain cool while selling their souls to capitalism, did irreparable harm. This is so lame, and also fuck Microsoft.

This account is going to devolve into long photo threads of me replying to myself.

Becoming the morning person I was meant to be.

NEKO CASE #5x5

Walking

The only sleep quality indicator I need is the size of my drool puddle when I wake up.

I'm going to miss you so fucking much.

I for one am grateful that the UK's dreary weather has resulted in so much pressure washing brainrot content.

Silksong fans 🤝 Lori McKenna fans "Halfway Home is a balm to my soul"

Imposters fans rejoicing rn.

Synth-powered Edmonton post-punks Home Front announce new album 'Watch It Die' — hear the phenomenal lead single "Light Sleeper"

Rewatching Boardwalk Empire and I can't help but be reminded by perhaps my most egregious LARP - attempting to adopt Jimmy's "to the lost" toast, as if I had some life experience that could have informed that as a 19 year old.

Manifesting a hot wife.
