They say suffering breeds great art and while this year will largely be remembered for layers of bad upon bad, I sense light in the cracks. Baltimore's Christian Best (Smoke Bellow, Crying Laughing, Instant Success, etc.) lays out a few of his favorite releases of 2025 ↓

I am very bad at Instagram but I did share the flyer for tonight’s reading and I chose “Color Me Impressed” by The Replacements as the song because I think you’ll be very impressed if you attend. 🦤

You still have a chance to do something cool before the year is over: send your work to us. The rules: the piece needs to be short, about a song, and the song title/artist is the title of the piece. (As long as we haven't played it yet!) Submit by Jan 1! major7mag.com/submit
