    Almost halfway through the year I figure I'd ask what EP's/albums you guys have been listening to or enjoyed a lot. Literally any genre, I want to see if I missed anything worth checking!

    This year has been kinda a--- tbh. I been listening to older music mostly. Even my daily playlist don’t have anything from 2026. Apple Music says my latest download was October 2025. lol

    That's my goat, glad to see PO2 getting love. Forgot I haven't actually spun Wuthering Heights, Bloodluxe or God Save The Three all the way through yet. And I forgot about the Momo Boyd album I gotta peep!

    They’re so good it’s actually insane. Amazing chemistry between the two.
    Absolute ear candy. It goes hard af and there’s some real innovation going on there.
    Both projects have some country songs and I surprisingly enjoy them quite a bit. Glaive and Momo Boyd are starting to get me to like country this is crazy

    I think I’m just gonna accept that my music taste is no longer what’s popping now. My favorite rappers are all over 35, and my favorite pop stars peaked like over a decade ago. Lol
    I notice this trend with my friends too, and just what’s popular now. The charts are all fueled with old songs from decades ago. Only 1 song in the top 10 is even from 2026. I mostly use Spotify for streaming what’s current, but Apple Music is where my main faves playlist and streaming comes from. Maybe it’s just getting older you get more comfortable with familiarity and don’t check out new stuff like you once did.

    I mean if you ever are interested in finding new stuff there's always music aggregate sites. A bunch of mainstream music is extremely boring or unappealing to me aside from a select few so I always dig for who's bubbling up instead.
