The Magic Organ Best of 2025 avalanche of musical goodness continues. How do my picks differ from those of the NY Times, PItchfork, and the New Yorker? Way less white boy and girl indie, more non white musicians from all over the world and from here. Just sayin'.

Because I'm mostly opposed to pop music and the concepts of pop music and pop culture that currently rule the empire, the Magic Organ's best of year music picks require listeners to do what they are, to listen and pay attention. So if you can't muster the energy necessary to do that and to escape from the Pop Death Star, I don't know what to say, that's on you somewhat, mostly, you might be the victim of a predatory cultural system but some people do make it out and I hope you make it out, it's way more fun being a freak than being in the suck ass line.

Thanks for listening.

Feel free, (it's free!) to follow me on the Insta (owned by one of the garbag-iest Americans going) where I conversate as themagic_organ. I got it friggin' goin' on, it's beyond #epic. I'm also up on the recently deballed Tik Tok, #FreePalestine. Or hit me up with 5 shits on the itunes, 5 starry shits on the itunes I dare not dream!!! Or you email me to say how I changed your life with all this great music. Music can be social, you can have opinions!

I'm always open to listener suggested playlists if you feel you can hang with the host. I'll even co host the show with you and I will be super nice. I guess most people can't hang, I wish it weren't thusly, but the roar of the mass are farts, unfortunately.

You can find these artists on bandcamp and streaming outlets. You can support them by listening and telling your friends. You can celebrate what they do! Let this shitass 13 minute podcast move you and your ass. God forbid.
