Released on August 15, 1995, I Just Wasn’t Made for These Times stands as Brian Wilson’s second solo album and functions as the soundtrack to Don Was’ documentary on Wilson’s life and artistry.

Over the course of nearly six decades, Jethro Tull has journeyed through an ever-shifting soundscape, thanks largely to the creative restlessness of frontman Ian Anderson. According to the recent Noise11.com interview (recorded July 24, 2025), Tull has been remarkably prolific in recent years, releasing three studio albums—The Zealot Gene (2022), RökFlöte(2023), and Curious Ruminant (2025)—alongside the expansive box-set Still Living In The Past.

Nearly two months after his passing on June 11, 2025, Brian Wilson, co-founder and creative heart of The Beach Boys, was laid to rest in a private ceremony on August 6, 2025.

English rock star Terry Reid has passed away. He was 75.

For decades Ian Anderson has driven his Jethro Tull lyrics to talk of religion and spiritualty, the human condition and philosophy, and that theme has continued on the three recent Jethro Tull album ‘The Zealot Gene’ (2022), ‘RökFlöte’ (2023) and ‘Curious Ruminant’ (2025).
