small rant :P
so my mom just tried to hit one of those “are you sure u wanna do this??” things and showed me an engineering job listing for $500k/year i “could’ve possibly gotten” in the future at OpenAI if i hadn’t decided to give up engineering to pursue music. i have a few problems with this because:
my goal isn’t to pursue money anymore but to be happy. music genuinely makes me happy.
i have plenty of issues with big corps in general when it comes to ethics, especially OpenAI.
so tl;dr am i missing out? the way i see it, no, because i would rather do something that makes me happy
also i’m still a high schooler so i don’t really need to be worrying about some silly job listing that may or may not exist in the future
being sick sucks
but being sick and also being allergic to dogs sucks more
my skin is burning, my eyes are burning, my throat is burning, everything is burning
i don’t have a lot of albums since i only recently started getting more interested in music in general, so here’s my very small list of my favorite albums from this year
acloudyskye - This Won’ Be The Last Time (9.4)
Quadeca - Vanisher, Horizon Scraper (9.0)
Easy Password - PHASERCORE (really underrated and unique electronic producer, go check him out) (9.0)
Deftones - private music (9.0)
Neddie - Passerby (9.0)
honorable mention: fax - take me where the wind blows (8.8)
I did however listen to tons of music from previous years since, again, I haven’t been super interested in music in general until later this year. Here’s my favorite finds from 2024 and earlier:
my bloody valentine - loveless (9.8)

If you want you can check out my AOTY at albumoftheyear.com/user/kvleb
I do rate a few objectively mid albums (think Coldplay’s X&Y) higher than most people would expect only because i simply enjoy them a lot, so yeah 
Here are my top 10 favourite albums this year. 2025 had plenty of good stuff drop, so not everything I enjoyed made this short list, I have a full list on my AOTY if you wanna see more: https://www.albumoftheyear.org/year-end/citysmartie/2025/
Other than that, let me know what you enjoyed this year from the world of music! Also lemme know your thoughts on any of the albums I have on this list, always curious to hear other peoples perspectives on stuff I like.
