One of the best discoveries of 2025 for me has been Josh’s No Expectations newsletter. Each edition recommends loads of good music, while also providing a nice look into the Chicago music scene. Always a friendly and rewarding read.
Look forward to diving into this big end of year playlist.

I wrote about more music than ever this year at No Expectations, so I compiled what I think are the 100 Best Albums of 2025. If you don't recognize a lot of the names here, don't worry. That's the point. I hope you find something new to dig. www.noexpectations.fyi/p/the-100-be...

Never mind movies you’ve watched multiple times, name a movie you’ve watched once and would never watch again.

Been on Apple Music since mid year, they do a decent wrapped thing. Not really representative of *purposeful* listening these things are they?
Often play a chill piano play list around the house hence some obscure new age artists in there. Will share a longer list of fave albums in a seperate post.

“Harry, I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Everyday, once a day, give yourself a present. Don’t plan it, don’t wait for it. Just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the Men’s store. A catnap. Or listening to the new Sonny & The Sunsets album, anywhere.”

Well into the season of life where I don’t keep up with pop culture, and it’s great.
You don’t need to get annoyed that The Kids like different stuff. Are Addison Rae and Tate McRae different people? Who cares! There’s jazz to listen to and you have plantar fasciitis.

The new Besnard Lakes album is a soaring psychedelic gem.

The period between now and when Ghostbusters was released is the same time period between when Ghostbusters and From
Here To Eternity were released. I think about this sort of thing a lot and my brain will not allow me to fully grasp it.

Weird moment at work where my boss made a Ghostbusters joke and then apologised for joking about such an old movie. I was like"what are you talking about? Ghostbusters isn't an old movie" and then I looked it up and oh no, you guys. Oh no
