My favorite tracks of 2025. Definitely an eclectic mix, but likely a little something for everyone. Best played on shuffle. Enjoy!

slowly getting Christmassy, listening to @somafm.com's Department Store Christmas channel. The vibe is my dad putting a record (OK, a tape or a CD) on and just chilling out to broadcast orchestras playing xmas music like it's the 20th century.

Is an example of some of the crap we have to go through to keep providing commercial, free, listener supported radio. How long is a time consuming, but it will cost us a lot of money in legal and accounting fees.
