There Is No Thirteenth Day of Wu-Mas 2025

 

Yep, another Wu-Mas has successfully come and gone. It's time to take down the tree, throw away the platters of cookies and gin that were set by the fire, and put the sheet over the golden eagle's birdcage. We're done. It's over. Onward to 2026!

This site's going to take a bit of a break now, but don't worry: the Patreon will still get regular updates, and I might just add some stuff here if I get bored and/or ambitious again. For now, though, some well-deserved rest.

I want to thank all of you for continuing to support this site through the Wu-Mas shenanigans, through all of last year with the Wu-Wednesday side project, which I found fun and enjoyable except for all those instances when I was in a time crunch and deadlines were hovering over me like that dark cloud that follows us all wherever we go, and just through my idiosyncratic publication schedule as of the past few years. I know that I keep reminding you all to sign up for the Patreon (there's a free tier, and I do plan on releasing some of the older reviews there, I swear), but the fact that folks still visit this site even without the constant updates hits me hard. I appreciate all of the support, even if you're just coming here to fight with a younger version of me that no longer exists.

So no reviews (here) and no RandoMax Radio episodes. What now? Well, I haven't figured all of that out just yet, but with regard to the Wu-Wednesdays series, there is a running playlist over on both Spotify and YouTube Music that will continue to receive updates until every episode is represented in some way. I would actually suggest that you go with the YouTube version, because there are a lot more of the songs available there, and I plan on housing the RandoMax Radio and Max-Approved Mix playlists there once I've tweaked them a bit. Also, other stuff that has been running through my mind (different radio playlists? Artist-specific lists? Who knows?), so stick around and maybe I'll get my shit together long enough to keep you both entertained this year.

Again, thanks for everything. This isn't goodbye, this is "I'm over on a different site, come find me there, but if not, that's cool too." Hit me in the comments if you have any questions, concerns, suggestions, or simply want to chat. I'm around.
