About this episode
Jesse and Jamilah discuss their favorite music records from 2025, highlighting diverse choices and a few notable mentions.
(RECORDED ON DECEMBER 17, 2025) There's so much music out there in the world, and no one could possibly listen to, or know everything that's been released. However, jesse and jamilah did find some gems among the vastness, in 2025. Their choices couldn't be more disparate... except for one album. (jamilah neglected to mention Imperial Triumphant's album, Goldstar, among her favorites of this year; they did get a quick mention toward the end of the episode though. She also mispronounced Terre Thaemlitz' Soulnessless. Also, after the episode was recorded, she remembered some shows that were not listed- so it was DEFINITELY more than 50 shows!!!! The key to being able to see a lot of shows is to see the ones that don't cost much money.) Let us know what your favorite albums have been this year! Let us know at: musicandwepodcast@gmail.com
