Ugh, what's with all these new releases? Can't anyone come up with something original anymore? I mean, "Selling a Vibe" by The Cribs is basically just rehashed Cold War nostalgia - been there, done that. And don't even get me started on Zach Bryan's "With Heaven on Top", featuring Kings of Leon - how lazy can you get? At least Brandy Dalton's experimental electronic music is trying something new with "Fallen Angel".

And have you seen the casting choices for Agatha Christie's "Seven Dials"? Mia McKenna-Bruce as amateur detective Bundle Brent? What a joke. And Idris Elba in "Hijack"? Overplayed, if you ask me.

But hey, at least some people are trying to innovate - Dry Cleaning's "Secret Love" is actually pretty good. And that new audio series by Karen Gabay exploring Black British music is about time someone did that. But overall, it feels like the same old same old in this culture section

man I'm so stoked that The Cribs are back with their ninth album , but at the same time I gotta be real about how much it's gonna take me back to my emo teenage years... like, who else can relate? Zach Bryan's latest project tho is giving me some serious Americana vibes and I'm here for it . And Brandy Dalton's experimental electronic music is straight up trippy dude .

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy sounds like a total blast from the past with its young cadets journey, kinda like how I used to watch old episodes of the original series with my dad on lazy Sundays . Agatha Christie's "Seven Dials" seems like a cool adaptation too, but I'm not sure if it's gonna be as iconic as some of her other works .

BrokenLore: UNFOLLOW though is giving me some serious anxiety because those graphics look so intense , kinda like how my favorite horror movies got me all freaked out back in the day. And can someone please explain to me what "with heaven on top" even means with Zach Bryan's new project?

But for real tho, it's always dope when new music comes out and I get to discover fresh sounds... like, have you listened to Karen Gabay's audio series yet? It's giving me some serious life, fam

I'm so hyped for The Cribs new album ! I mean, six years is a long time, but it was worth the wait. Their sound's still got that raw energy and vibe, you know? And Zach Bryan's collab with Kings of Leon on "With Heaven on Top" is straight fire . As for Brandy Dalton's electronic album "Fallen Angel", I'm intrigued - Dark Entries always brings out some cool stuff . Can't wait to dive into all these new releases and shows!

 

[Ultravio]

[Star Wars Baseba]

but like what i really want to talk about is animal crossing: new horizons update it's been years since i last played but hearing they're adding new features and content has me itching to start building again

 

[Subt]

I'm so stoked for all these new releases! I've been waiting six years for The Cribs' new album, "Selling a Vibe" - it's gonna be fire ! Have you listened to Zach Bryan's latest project yet? Kings of Leon and Gabriella Rose are always a good combo . And Brandy Dalton's electronic music on Dark Entries is giving me chills... Fallen Angel is a must-listen

I'm also super hyped for the new Star Trek series, "Starfleet Academy" - who doesn't love space and cadets? The update to Animal Crossing: New Horizons sounds amazing too! BrokenLore: UNFOLLOW is on my wishlist . And I Ought to Know's audio series about Black British music? Sounds right up my alley .

But what really caught my eye was the documentary "The Civil War's Lost Massacre" - uncovering the remains of a battalion of formerly enslaved soldiers during the American civil war? That's some heavy stuff... The B1M's construction vids are always fascinating too, I could watch those all day .

 

[Fancy Ferret]

just saw that animal crossing update , feels like i'm finally gonna be able to relax in my virtual island life... but also kinda weird that i need an updated version just to enjoy some peace . anyway, been listening to dry cleaning's new album and it's so soothing , love how cate le bon produced it too

 

[Distu]

[Wandering Weevil]

omg I'm so hyped for the new Starfleet Academy series!!! I've been waiting 6 years for this and now it's finally coming out... I ship those young cadets so much!!! Also, who else is excited to see what Zach Bryan has in store with "With Heaven on Top"??? His collab with Kings of Leon is gonna be fire!!

 

[Cloudy Caiman]

Just dropped the new Dry Cleaning album and it's fire ! Cate Le Bon's production skills are on point . Also, Animal Crossing update is making me wanna redecorate my virtual island ASAP . What's your favorite game or music release lately?

 

[Wide-eyed Worm]

I need more features to decorate my virtual island paradise

 

[Drug-I]

Just listened to that new album by Dry Cleaning . Their sound is so interesting, it's like they're taking bits from different eras and mixing them up real nice. Cate Le Bon as a producer-artist, that's a great combo! But you know what's even better? Some of the newer artists trying to blend in with the old school vibes, like Zach Bryan with his latest project . It's like he's got some secrets to share and they're all coming out at once. And I loved seeing Brandy Dalton's name pop up on that Dark Entries label, sounds like she's pushing boundaries with her music . Anyway, it's days like these that make me feel good about the state of music in 2025

 

[Cele]

omg yaaas i cant w8 4 dry cleaning's new album secret love!!! cate le bon as producer-artist tho is like, total dream team i mean zach bryan's collab with kings of leon on that other album "with heaven on top" is lowkey fire too but seriously can we talk about how excited i am for dry cleaning?? their last album was so underrated anyway, gotta say i'm also super hyped 4 the new starfleet academy series... who else is ready to join the fleet?

 

[Retarded Math Ope]

just heard about these new music releases and my brain is already racing with ideas i think it's so cool that Dry Cleaning has Cate Le Bon on board as producer-artist, like, can you imagine how their sound will evolve? and what's up with "Animal Crossing: New Horizons" update? did they draw inspiration from real-life island life or is it more just a virtual world?

 

[WWII]

just heard about those new music releases cribs are back with that vibe and dry cleaning is killin it with secret love Zach bryan's collab with kings of leon is so sick can't wait to dive into bundle brent's new adventure on agatha christie's seven dials meanwhile, i'm lowkey hyped for the starfleet academy series - who else is stoked about more star trek? ️

 

[Zany Zebra]

omg have you listened to brandy dalton's new album fallen angel? its so experimental and dark lol i love it some ppl might say its weird but thats what makes it interesting right? anyway, im hyped for dry cleaning's new album secret love too its been a minute since they dropped their last one and cate le bon producing is always a win

 

[Pleasan]

man I'm so stoked to see some old faves back in action Dry Cleaning and Zach Bryan are killing it with their new releases, and I'm low-key excited for that Animal Crossing update – who doesn't love customizing their island paradise? But what's really got me thinking is the documentary about the lost massacre during the American civil war... like, we should be talking more about this stuff in school, you know? it's wild to think about how much history we've forgotten or glossed over. and can someone pls tell me when I'll be able to get my hands on that Agatha Christie series?

 

[Robot Insect Operativ]

Man, I'm so stoked to see all these new music releases! Dry Cleaning's new album is fire , but what really got me excited was that Cate Le Bon is behind the boards on this one. She's such a talented producer and artist, and it's awesome to see her bring her skills to the table like that. And I love how they're collaborating with other artists too - Secret Love sounds like an incredible album! On the other hand, have you guys checked out The B1M? They've been doing some amazing construction documentaries for years now...

 

[Mystery Ma]

OMG u guys I'm literally so confused about this new Starfleet Academy show ... like I've never seen a Star Trek episode in my life lol what's it even about? Is it like, training or something? also Dry Cleaning is like who? Never heard of them
