Yo La Tengo. Was always just lukewarm at best when consuming their albums, then I saw them live and it all clicked. Such an underrated band.

Haha NOPE. This is 100% fake news. Target hasnβt done a thing to show me they are on my side.
I checked, and I spent just over $1k at Target in 2024. Havenβt spent a dime since they rolled over on DEI. Drop in the bucket, I know, but we can fill the bucket.

Iβm a mariner fan, and this thread of replies is 100% accurate.

Fair! If we expand to former players, my money will always go with Marc Rzepczynski being nicknamed βScrabble.β
Dumped the Pocky, which was my favorite late-inning treat last year. Boo.
I love that this is finally available in high quality with proceeds going to a good cause. You can kinda hear how it isnβt exactly a sonic match made in heaven, but man itβs cool to hear what was laid down in Chicago.
In on the Killtaker is the best Fugazi album. Thank you, TED Talk, blah blah.
The only thing bugging me is the original castβs commitment to veneers. Donald Faison sounds like he has a mouth guard in!
Still making me laugh, tho, so Iβm not knocking it. Was lacking a Joel Kim Booster appearance in Episode 3.
It so rarely works correctly that I notice when it does work (HBO does surprisingly well at this).
Yeah I remember buying the Doolittle cassette after hearing Here Comes Your Man on KROQ that summer, so the timeline *just* works. They were pretty cutting edge in Hawkins, though.
Okay, took me a bit but I finally watched Night Country and yeah, itβs the best season. Wow.
This is simply not going to have the same impact as the Kate Bush incident, and honestly itβs disappointing.
I know it has a 0.02% chance of happening, but I would love to see that documentary one day.
And obviously I enjoyed the use of Here Comes Your Man as they prepped for graduation in β89.
This has got to be the Monday-ish Friday on record.
You bet! Stumbling on your YouTube account was a bright spot for me in an otherwise rather dark year. Please keep up the great work! I may have some tapes to send your wayβ¦
Guys guys guys the Kraken scored a first period goal. #kraken #seattlekraken
Honorable Mention goes out to @hdmixtapes.bsky.social - if you arenβt following them here (and on YouTube), I am about to improve your quality of life. They are using the internet the right way to preserve these old tapes. The archive is DEEP, and they keep adding to it.

Finally, the βat Fabricβ series has some wonderful stuff. This three hour (!) mix by Cinthe from 2024 is a LONG house journey worth taking.

For the history buffs, Apple has this archival series with DJ sets from the dawn of the rave era at the HaΓ§ienda. Search βat the HaΓ§iendaβ to find βem. They are crazy! Here Mike Pickering and Graeme Park set the foundation for the next 20+ years of partying in β89.

The Warehouse Project mixes can also be wonderful. TSHA dropped a slammer of a mix late last year and Iβve enjoyed this one many times in 2025.

Letβs also remember βBeats in Space,β Appleβs show hosted by Tim Sweeney. This show is hit-or-miss for me, but the Soulwax βI π NYβ mix from this year was a definite hit. Soulwax always makes me smile and shake my hips. The Haai episode from this year was also nuts.

Another one to seek out is the βEarly Hoursβ series, also exclusive to Apple. These tend to be very unique. Iβve been closely following Logic 1000 for a few years and this mix is perfect, chill atmospheric house. Check her 2025 DJ Kicks mix, an ambient journey.

Apple has a show called βChemistry Radioβ that includes some great mixes. I love Kelly Lee Owens, so Iβll share that one. KLO goes on a two hour journey, so buckle in. I donβt want to spoil the Aaliyah mix she drops, but it blows my mind every time.

Yes, this one scratches a very specific itch in my techno music upbringing, but this 2023 mix from Josh Wink is very great. It is 100% what you would expect from Wink and I am 100% okay with that.

Apple also has some mixes from the annual Movement Festival in Detroit, and there are some gems. Search βat Movementβ to find them. I kept returning to this DJ Tennis β22 mix this year, a fun genre-spanning ride. Donβt miss the Carl Craig/Jon Dixon mix from β23 too.

I also adore this yearβs NYE mix from Shy FX. He deftly blends old school and new school Drum & Bass in a way that will get you screaming βrewind!β Heck, he drops both βPulp Fictionβ and βOriginal Nuttah,β so you know he had a blast making this. Lighters Up!

Apple posts exclusive New Years Eve mixes each year (they remain available, search βNYE <year>β going back to 2021 to find them all, there are LOTS). This yearβs mix from Derrick Carter is incredibleβa certified house masterpiece.

I have no regrets switching from Spotify to Apple Music a few years back. On top of just sounding better, Apple has a crazy amount of DJ sets available to stream. Here are ten of my favorites from this year (only a few from 2025, but all new to me this year). π§΅ #djmixes
Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice in Chains.
This is a correct answer.
Thanks for this. Itβs truly lovely.
I appreciate this context. Thank you for this.
