Do you have an artist, an LP, that, no matter what, elevates your mood? I believe every music fan does--and, dang, we need that record more than ever.

For me, it's #Irmathomas , the Soul Queen of New Orleans.

Perfect gift from my partner: Wings - The Story of a Band on the Run.

Wings were the most maligned of groups, yet every LP has Beatles quality songs amid the filler. They were innovative, risk takers & so much fun.

From albums that resisted the algorithm to films, books and documentaries that told the truth about power, fandom and exploitation, 2025 was a quietly brilliant year for music culture.

Writers: "We're possums stuck in trash bins"
Indie music label owners: "I can relate."
Me--being both: "Why do I keep doing this to myself? Why can't I do something normal?"
