The Mostly Music 2025 Playlist, Pt. 11 (Updated 11/15/25)

Happy Holidays!

We’re getting so close to the end of 2025, and I’m going to say it now – choosing my top 50 this year is going to be hard. There has been a lot of great music released, and there’s still a month-and-a-half to go! Whyyy do I do this to myself? Ha!

Anyway, here are the singles I’ve added so far in November.

Brother Cane Releases First New Music in 25 Years

Alabama-based rockers Brother Cane shared two singles today, “Blinded by the Sun” and “Are You in There Anymore?” These are the first new songs the band has put out in 25 years!

Brother Cane formed in 1991 and released albums in 1993, 1995, and 1998. The band parted ways thereafter, but they reformed in 2005 and 2011, and have been steadily active again since 2022.

“Blinded by the Sun” and “Are You in There Anymore?” were produced and mixed by Marti Frederiksen. Both tracks are now available on all streaming platforms, or you can listen below. Check them out and visit brothercane.com for news, tour dates, and more!

It’s Already November?! Well, Here’s How October Went…

Where has the time gone? 2023 is a little under two months away… That’s crazy.

The last few weeks I’ve been slacking. My posts have mainly been song of the day posts, or new music alerts. I haven’t had the energy to do much else. Between working and being sick – sick, on my favorite holiday! the outrage! – it’s all I can do to post every day. However, I think that will change soon. I’m feeling better, a ton of tour announcements have hit social media, and I have a few movies, shows, and books to write about. Keep your eyes open for some variation in my content!

Now I’m going to finish “The Watcher” on Netflix. But let me leave y’all with a few pictures from Halloween, the Brother Cane concert, and the Gunshine/Seven Year Witch/Magnolia Bayou show! My October in a nutshell.

Unproductive Week

I feel like I didn’t achieve much this week. I worked a lot, and attempted to discuss some issues with my superiors but got absolutely nowhere. I did laundry – even folded it and put it away within 24 hours! Lol.

My biggest achievement was probably getting my dad’s birthday gift taken care of. See, whenever possible, I like to take my parents to concerts for things such as birthdays, Christmas, Mother’s/Father’s Day, etc. Well, Brother Cane is coming to town two days before my dad’s birthday, and Dad has been a big fan of them for years. He and my brother have seen Damon Johnson, but Dad has never had the chance to see the full band. I’m not sure how many original members remain; however, now that they’ve reunited and decided to tour, I couldn’t let the opportunity pass. So Mom and I are taking him to the show.

On a personal high note: my employees gave me an award this week for “building strong relationships” and “always putting my employees first.” Normally the awards come from upper management, but two of my employees asked if they could personally present me with one. It’s the most meaningful thing I have received since I started working there a little over two years ago ❤️

I hope this post finds all of you well, and that your weeks are going better than mine. Surely next week will be an improvement. After all, I am going to stay with a friend in Georgia and we’re going to see Powerman 5000, Static-X, Mudvayne, and Rob Zombie!
