Schmutzie’s September 2025 Playlist

View fullsize

This playlist is out on 8 platforms:

Apple Music & Amazon Music (61/72) & Deezer & Last.fm & Qobuz (66/72) & Spotify & Tidal (70/72) & YouTube Music

I love lists and facts, so:

• 51% of the songs are from 2025,

• and the complete original playlist is about 4 hours and 55 minutes long on Apple Music

• with 72 songs

• across 8 decades

• and 17 genres: alternative, Americana, blues, country, dance, electronic, folk, indie pop, indie rock, jazz, metal, pop, punk, R&B/soul, rock, singer/songwriter, and soundtrack.

• The songs are in reverse order by year and then in alphabetical order by artist within each year.

These monthly playlists are a bit of a music history sampler, so, as I usually say, enjoy the trip :)
