That’s right, despite the universe’s efforts, we have somehow made it another week! As promised, we will likely forget to wake you up when September ends, but at least October is miraculously Vegetarian Month, Seafood Month, and Chili Month, so there’s something for all palettes. Speaking of, below is a fragmentary list of new releases for October 3rd, 2025. Feel free to jam the playlist below, let us know what you’re looking forward to this week (in music or otherwise), and remember: I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: democracy simply doesn’t work. Ta ta for now!
