End of the year – you know what time it is.
A wise man named Smash (but it’s Dr. Mouth to you) once said “the years start coming and they don’t stop coming”. He was so right for that. 2025 felt a decade long, but also it’s already December again. What’s that about? Not a fan!
Some real bullshit in the world this year, dude! I know it’s not what you came here to read about, so I won’t get into it. But if life feels more and more like circling the drain these days, I get it, and implore you to hang in there. Yes, Dr. Mouth, our world is also on fire – but every now and then we get a One Battle After Another. Or go to Red Rocks for the first time. Or compete in a parallel parking contest. Or watch stand up comedy in a park on a summer afternoon. And it’s like, oh shit, life is pretty tight actually!
Wonderful year in music though – it was tough narrowing down to 50 selections. Can you believe I did it? Applause break please. My fun little annual project at the end of every year is to count down my list over the course of a week on Instagram stories – it’s not the ideal platform for something like that, but I like to think of it as an exercise in concise (and very casual) writing since there’s a limit on space for text. Below you’ll find my favorite albums of the year, with all of those little blurbs. If you don’t care about any of that, scroll to the bottom of this page for a screenshot of the list in its entirety.
