If last week was a 3.8/5, just imagine the possibilities this week! Somehow we have made it to another Monday, so thank you for hanging out with us. Below is a hefty, yet incomplete list of new releases for August 22nd, 2025. Feel free to jam the playlist, let us know what you’re looking forward to this week (in music or otherwise), and remember: if you don’t like your job, you don’t go on strike — you go in every day and do it really half-assed. That’s the Sputnik way! For now, we’ll keep this ball rollin’ and catch you next time!
