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! […] -

A short overview of end-of-2023 state of thi.ng(s) (https://thi.ng/umbrella only!):
96 releases done in 2023 (i.e. every 3.6 days on average)
188 projects/packages (+12 this year)
151 example projects (+32 this year)3,865 source files
144,432 lines of code
54,155 docs/comments (37% or 2.66 lines of code-to-comment ratio)
198,587 total SLOCReadme files (for all 188 packages):
49,580 total words
189,978 linesA lot of activity this year was spent on adding/improving documentation & creating new examples to illustrate general usage patterns. From August till October I published 30 chapters of #HowToThing aka heavily commented code examples & mini-tutorials, incl. ~20 new example projects which are now part of the monorepo. Just like the overall project scope, these chapters covered anything from audio synthesis, data transformations, DSLs, geometry, generative art/design, GIS, image processing, Mastodon client, reactive UIs (NOT using React!), shaders, other visualizations and more... Check out the hashtag to view them (full list is also part of the thi.ng/umbrella readme).
