I’m excited to report that live music has returned to Melbourne, and I couldn’t be happier. After a year of online performances of mixed quality, it’s amazing that I can go to physical concerts once more.
Phones on silent while recording, please!

I stumbled upon a annotated release of the soundtrack to the video game Journey. The game was a favourite of mine when I was younger, and I still regularly listen to the soundtrack out of nostalgia.
My Favourite Albums From 2020
Taking the opportunity to share my listening recommendations from the year past

For me, 2020 was a very quiet year. I spent a lot of time at home, and wasn’t out much aside from when I needed to be out. During that time, I found myself drawn to music listening as an escape.
As a way to farewell the year, I thought I’d highlight some of my favourite albums that have come out in the past twelve months.
Enjoying Music Albums From Start to Finish
Appreciating albums in the age of the playlist

There’s a lot of ways to listen to music in this day and age. You might see it live, streamed over the internet or played from a vinyl record. Today though, I want to advocate for a particular approach to listening to recordings.
Take an album and let it run from its first track until conclusion. Don’t put it on shuffle. Don’t only play the most popular tracks. Listen to everything the album has to offer, in the order in the order that it’s listed.
