Songs don’t fix it. But they help.
Hello and thanks for stopping by!
The Listening Log is my personal music blog where I ramble through albums — old favourites, new discoveries, and everything in between. No pretence, no star ratings — just honest thoughts, track by track, mood by mood.
Whether you’re here for nostalgic classics or fresh releases, I hope you find something to enjoy (and maybe a few surprises).
Grab your headphones, press play, and join the ramble. New posts come regularly — and if you like what you hear, don’t forget to subscribe to stay in the loop!
🎵 Track by Track
This is where the obsessive part of my brain takes over.
I sit down with an album, notebook in hand, and pretend I’m a cross between Lester Bangs and a man who’s accidentally eaten too many Haribo.
Every track gets its moment — the classics, the fillers, the “what were they thinking?” experiments, and even the questionable 37-second interludes.
If you’ve ever loved (or hated) an album so much you analysed
it like an A-Level project, this is your corner.
🎧 Sound Bites
Short, sharp album reviews for busy humans with real lives.
Think of these as musical espresso shots — quick, punchy, occasionally chaotic, and almost always written after I’ve muttered “I’ll just do a short one” (spoiler: I never do).
Perfect if you want to know whether an album is worth 40 minutes of your existence without wading through a dissertation.
Features a lot of passionate defenses of albums nobody else likes!!!
💬 Talking Music
The catch-all zone: musical rants, nostalgic rambles, weird opinions, and general philosophizing about life as a mid-50s music nut.
This is where topics like The Truth About Classic Albums, and Obituaries live.
Part therapy session, part pub chat, part love letter to the life of being a music obsessive.
If you’re into music that spans genres, decades, moods, and quality levels (let’s be honest), you’ll fit in perfectly here.
Welcome to The Listening Log — where albums still matter, opinions are loud, and nothing is taken too seriously.
The music blog that’s not afraid to listen to Taylor Swift, so you don’t have to! (Unless you are a Swifty, of course!)
