Back for a fifth year, I’ve compiled the top 12 posts published this year (see last year’s if you’re interested, 2023’s, 2022’s, and 2021’s edition). I’ve blogged way less than last year (38 vs. 80) which is a shame.
The top 12 posts of 2025 were decided by analytics data so here they are:
- Vulfpeck’s guide to listening to Michael Jackson
- Quincy Jones on the statue in the cover of “The Dude”
- Adam Neely on the ethics of fake guitar
- Here’s Brian Eno’s “obsolete” album, Generative Music—originally released on a floppy disk
- Air’s Nicolas Godin on the making of Sexy Boy
- 1010music Bento: another standalone Swiss army knife sampler to consider
- Ahwlee – APARTMENT
- Gangster Doodles – Gangster Music Vol.3
- Ohbliv – Home Remedies II
- TSURUDA – flips no flops vol.1
