The Listening Log

The Log

A chronological archive of listening notes.

Each post captures a moment where sound, memory and mood intersect.

  • Victory Or Die

    Saturday’s result looms, so the songs take over. Lemmy, Peel sessions, drifting folk and a bit of Bennett calm things down… slightly.

  • One To Go

    A must-win becomes a calm, professional victory, leaving Cambridge United one result away from automatic promotion.

  • Inside My Mind

    A drifting Manchester drive soundtracked by Orbital, house, dub and rock, where traffic, memory and music all blur into one.

  • Ugly Bastard

    From Bernard Manning to Dolly Parton, a chaotic run of comedy, pop, and country turns into an unexpectedly sharp and entertaining stretch of listening.

  • Marvellous

    Motown, 80s rock, classical calm and modern rap collide on a Friday, with music and routine quietly bringing everything back into balance.

  • Relentless

    A renewed love for Pet Shop Boys leads back to Relentless, a hidden mini-album that trades pop for mood and quietly pulls you in.

  • Stolen Car

    A chaotic, brilliant playlist soundtracks a long drive home after Cambridge United’s 4–0 win, shifting from euphoria to calm across the night roads.

  • Flowers

    Sunshine brings out the worst drivers, but Pete Shelley, garage, and dub keep my sanity just about intact.

  • Oops… #2

    A familiar collapse as Cambridge United concede late again, the commentary heavy with tension and the table shifting underneath us.
