Albums etc of 2025
Dec. 23rd, 2025 12:41 amI have been battling a migraine, and the bad cold going around, to the point I typed font-face instead of font-family in my CSS. A theme for the year: I felt like I struggled to listen to as much music as I’d want this year. I did get to some albums I liked, though, and here they are.

May. 31st, 2025 11:40 pmI have two months to catch up on so this is pretty packed.
Albums etc. of 2024
Dec. 25th, 2024 06:55 pmI spent a lot more time this year revisiting albums from last year and previous than listening to new stuff. The lack of pressure was nice? Nonetheless, I did find some new LPs & EPs to like (slash hyperfocus on) this year.

Albums etc. of 2023
Jan. 2nd, 2024 09:59 pmWe’re back and only two days late! I blame that one year Accusefive released an album on NYE for my inclination for procrastination :p
Those of you who have had me on your reading list for a while have seen the evolution of this year-end roundup go from “vibes with numbers” to “attempt at real music blogging” and now to “vibes with no numbers”. In that vein it’s been freeing to start using “DNF” on albums. In the old days when there was no streaming and I ~obtained~ albums in the whole, I went by the motto of Don’t Like, Don’t Listen, Delete Now. But with the inclusion of Japanese music onto streaming I would either listen to one song via my discovery methods, or attempt to ~experience the full album~ by slogging through it, which was no fun. So “DNF” is back! Sorry not sorry to Ayumi Hamasaki.
Indie idol groups continue to draw my attention, as more and more of them dive into (and stay in) genres I love. Also two Taiwanese bands made the cut — although I missed getting tickets to both their local shows! (That’s 0/2 for me on supporting Taiwanese bands in the 2023–4 touring season.)
To the LPs and EPs of the year!

⇒ Spotify
(Ugh Spotify was so broken when I was trying to rearrange this playlist. I might try Youtube Music next year since coverage is getting better there.)
Monthly Listening: Dec 2023
Jan. 1st, 2024 09:44 pmA day late but that’s what I get for boxing week shopping (derogatory). Usually I have my albums roundup written a week in advance too, but I haven’t even started yet! *grimace*

Albums etc. of 2022
Dec. 26th, 2022 09:58 pmThis year’s list isn’t strictly my top albums (etc). A couple snuck in solely due to the fact I wrote so much about them. And one of my draft top 6 got crossed off because I barely wrote a sentence about it when I listened to it — surely it’s not important enough for the roundup!
Here’s a Spotify playlist of selected songs from these albums, along with some other songs.

Mar. 29th, 2022 10:11 pmThought I’d try something new so here’s some of the music I’ve been listening to lately. Unlike my year-end posts it’s not necessarily songs that came out during this period though a lot of it did. Faves are ★’d.
Youtube playlist, minus the wowgokoro song because it’s not on Youtube.
