Against unbeatable odds, we have somehow made it another week around here! Thanks very much for tagging along for the ride. Below is an underdeveloped snapshot of new releases for September 19th, 2025. Please feel free to jam the playlist below, let us know what you’re looking forward to this week (in music or otherwise), and remember: call this an unfair generalization if you must, but old people are no good at everything. That might be why these updates smell like eau de elderly. Until next time, fare thee well, you chronically-online whippersnappers, geriatric Tiger Balm connoisseurs, and everyone in-between!
