I’m writing this up a week or so ahead of when it runs — the holidays are the holidays, so I don’t want to wait until the last moment and then miss my chance, you know? — but, as things stand right now and probably will through the end of the year, these are the last songs on my 2025 playlist. (Earlier installments can be found here, here, here, and here.)
I actually intended to end with the “Final Form”/”Stay Away From Me” pairing, because I liked the idea of the last song on the playlist being called “Stay Away From Me,” but then I found some more songs that stuck in my head and, anyway, plans are there to be changed. So, here are the final 20 songs from the playlist, which you can find here if you still have Spotify; otherwise, most of December was spent listening to Christmas songs or Suede’s “Elephant Man,” for reasons that escape me.
