DANIEL VICTOR is a talented musician with a keen ear, and, knows how to curate a killer playlist. He is also a dear friend.

As he works at getting the NEVERENDING WHITE LIGHTS 🇨🇦 next LP ready for release, he again took the time to curate a personal playlist of tunes from this year for me. I am so honoured that he does this.

The playlist is called GW REX 2025. Over 5.5 hours of tunes!

Each year there are at least 10 artists I discover and love that I have never heard of before. It speaks more to the sheer number of artists making music today than my seemingly non-stop efforts.

Almost every year DV is less impressed than myself with the quality of music released in the year. We laugh about that every time yet we keep on listening – hoping for that perfect song or record to land on our turntables.

I have been enjoying this playlist for a couple of days now and thought I should pass it along to the Group for holiday listening. I hope you will enjoy the playlist, discover new artists and generally savour the music year that was!

Thanks Daniel. As much as I love your personalized playlists, I would love a new NWL LP even more…

All best.

In keeping with the general format of this site, I have selected a song from the entire playlist as the song of the day. The full playlist follows.

The track is from a Vancouver outfit with an awful name- ACTORS 🇨🇦 entitled “How Deep Is The Hole.” It is pulsating bass driven slab of darkwave. Here is the DAVID LYNCH/ Eraserhead inspired video.
