Best CDs of 2025 According to an Old Guy Who Only Bought 6 of Them
Hi, I’m Hungry-Man-Sized Casey Kasem and welcome to another music listicle, but not a Top Ten because I didn't buy that many! As part of my annual series of chronically late year-in-review entries, I remain one of six people nationwide who still prefers compact discs to digital downloads. My hangups about vinyl would require a separate essay unto themselves, though I finally waded into some of that last year. My new-album splurges are rare because: (a) it’s increasingly tougher for new music to catch my ear as I grow older and more finicky; and (b) my favorite yesteryear acts died, stopped recording, or swiveled in directions away from me. That usually means missing out on what majorities loves, thus further dropping me down the bottomless wishing well into total irrelevance as chronicled on this very website, thirteen years and counting. In 2025 I got six brand new studio albums, omitting any pre-2025 finds or gifts. It can be fun to walk past the cool-collectors’ vinyl bins to the way-back by the T-shirt rack and pick through what passes for in-person CD sections today, though I’m seeing diminishing returns as those get smaller and dustier, sometimes not even alphabetized. More often than not, More and more, I'm resorting to online disc-shopping because all of Indy's coolest stores are on other sides of town faraway from us, and the stores we stumble across in our road trips aren't stocking new stuff I like. Or maybe it's all selling out before I come in? I wouldn't know, but I feel like these artists would be much bigger today if that were the case. Nevertheless, on with the countdown! […] -

The first of a new year seems like a good day to assemble, aggregate, summarize and publish various year in review posts for the prior year.
When various online services create a year in review for you many weeks before the end of the year (whether #Spotify #Unwrapped or #Strava #YearInSport), it seems they are short-changing you.
No one asks for an 11 months in review (except HR departments, which is a different problem).
So why do people accept only an ~11 months summary when services provide such a premature “year” in review?
When people say things like “Make every day count” do they not also believe you should “Count every day”?
In this case, 2024 had 366 days. You should count every one of them, and every thing from every one of them.
Rather than “sharing” a premature year in review, request your “year in review” today on the 1st of the year from various services, extract the data you want, fill in any gaps, and post your year in reviews on your own site¹.

Yay, I managed to do at least one significant thing each month of this year! (And sometimes more!) Even if some of them were just silly comics and memes, that's still fun, right?
A fair amount of transformation this year too. Mmmm... TF... 😊
