As you may have noticed, I didn't publish a Chasing Fridays last week. There was no real reason for that other than I was busy in the evenings (I hit four shows in five days) and preoccupied with other work outside of this here blog. Sorry to those who missed me, but to make up for it, I'm returning this week with an extra-long edition of Chasing Fridays.

I published my 2024 year-end list on December 18th, so in the name of consistency, I'm running my halfway-through-2025 list on June 18th. Like last year's midway report, I've decided to cull together an unranked smorgasbord of my favorite 2025 releases thus far. I've segmented the album portion of the list into five broad genre categories, and then included a smattering of individual songs that I've been rocking with this year.

I made another 100-song playlist. It's the 32nd one I've made since November 2016 when I was walking through my college quad listening to Vince Staples and decided to throw "Summertime" in a playlist titled "Shit I Like." For some arbitrary reason I decided to cap that playlist at 100 songs and then make another. I've been doing that for nine years and now have 3,200 songs I theoretically enjoy sprinkled between 32 different playlists.

What I like most about writing the Chasing Fridays newsletter each week is that it's mine. I can write about whatever music I want in whatever format I please. For instance, if I want to go in on a rising underground rapper like smokedope2016 in the same article where I wax poetic on Pittsburgh's pride for regional beatdown stalwarts, then I can do that (see below).

Even when Turnstile were the nucleus of hardcore, they were off on their own tip. Their 2015 debut, Nonstop Feeling, was an instant classic that arrived on the heels of two knockout 7″s, swiftly catapulting them to the forefront of the genre at a time when it had a third of the engagement that it does now.

I remain the only Professional Music Journalist who's written about smokedope2016. A rapper who I was more conceptually intrigued by than musically into until his latest tape. The streams don't lie: this is a phenomenon in the making. My full unpacking: https://t.co/aeTgBPJfDu https://t.co/oo0vWlGkjT
