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 hasn’t done a thing to show me they are on my side.

I checked, and I spent just over $1k at Target in 2024. Haven’t spent a dime since they rolled over on DEI. Drop in the bucket, I know, but we can fill the bucket.

I’m 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 β€œScrabble.”

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 isn’t exactly a sonic match made in heaven, but man it’s 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 cast’s commitment to veneers. Donald Faison sounds like he has a mouth guard in!

Still making me laugh, tho, so I’m 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, it’s the best season. Wow.

This is simply not going to have the same impact as the Kate Bush incident, and honestly it’s 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 β€˜89.

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 way…

HD Mixtapes High Quality, remastered mixtapes ripped directly from the original cassettes. I'm looking to buy mixtapes to restore/remaster and upload to my channel. Feel free to email me if you have some mixtape...

Honorable Mention goes out to @hdmixtapes.bsky.social - if you aren’t 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 β€œat Fabric” 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 β€œat the HaΓ§ienda” to find β€˜em. They are crazy! Here Mike Pickering and Graeme Park set the foundation for the next 20+ years of partying in β€˜89.

The Warehouse Project: TSHA in Manchester, Sep 28, 2024 (DJ Mix) by TSHA on Apple Music Album Β· 2024 Β· 22 Songs

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

Beats In Space 185: Soulwax (DJ Mix) by Soulwax on Apple Music Album Β· 2025 Β· 28 Songs

Let’s also remember β€œBeats in Space,” Apple’s show hosted by Tim Sweeney. This show is hit-or-miss for me, but the Soulwax β€œI πŸ’› NY” 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.

Early Hours (DJ Mix) by Logic1000 on Apple Music Album Β· 2023 Β· 16 Songs

Another one to seek out is the β€œEarly Hours” series, also exclusive to Apple. These tend to be very unique. I’ve 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.

Chemistry Radio with Kelly Lee Owens, Ep. 4 (DJ Mix) by Kelly Lee Owens on Apple Music Album Β· 2025 Β· 36 Songs

Apple has a show called β€œChemistry Radio” that includes some great mixes. I love Kelly Lee Owens, so I’ll share that one. KLO goes on a two hour journey, so buckle in. I don’t want to spoil the Aaliyah mix she drops, but it blows my mind every time.

Making Time: Josh Wink, Sep 24, 2023 (DJ Mix) by Josh Wink on Apple Music Album Β· 2023 Β· 31 Songs

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 β€œat Movement” to find them. I kept returning to this DJ Tennis β€˜22 mix this year, a fun genre-spanning ride. Don’t miss the Carl Craig/Jon Dixon mix from β€˜23 too.

NYE 2026 (DJ Mix) by Shy FX on Apple Music Album Β· 2025 Β· 31 Songs

I also adore this year’s NYE mix from Shy FX. He deftly blends old school and new school Drum & Bass in a way that will get you screaming β€œrewind!” Heck, he drops both β€œPulp Fiction” and β€œOriginal Nuttah,” so you know he had a blast making this. Lighters Up!

NYE 2026 (DJ Mix) by Derrick Carter on Apple Music Album Β· 2025 Β· 15 Songs

Apple posts exclusive New Years Eve mixes each year (they remain available, search β€œNYE <year>” going back to 2021 to find them all, there are LOTS). This year’s mix from Derrick Carter is incredibleβ€”a 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). 🧡 #djmixes
