I'm not going to call this week's show a "best of 2025" show, but I guess it kind of is? We're taking a look at some of the most memorable and notable tracks of 2025. (I also decided to only do one part, just to keep things simple. It wasn't easy, because there was a lot of good and enjoyable music released last year, which meant cutting out many things I wanted to include.) The first block was a set of some of 2025's best industrial and EBM. The second block was a mix of post-punk, goth, darkwave, etc. The third block was all local (Arkansas-based) artists. And we finished the show with a block of synthpop songs.
