What I Listened To In A Year Part 16
I bought the magnificent Queens Of The Stone Age 2002 album Songs For The Deaf because Dave Grohl was on drums. I firmly believe that he should be banned from doing anything other than drumming. Buying things because of Dave drumming is a practice I have followed for some time and it has never gone… — read more

What I listened To In A Year Part 15
Music is how I make sense of everything. It’s how I try and control or at least acknowledge my mood or state of mind at any given moment. It’s how I remember things and it’s how I link it all together. All of my key memories have a song linked to them. Sometimes this isn’t… — read more

What I Listened To In A Year Part 13
Towards the end of our marriage my ex threw a glass at me. She missed as she was a terrible shot. It exploded against the wall and I “had” to clear up the mess that “I” had made. Happy people have no stories. The first McDonalds I can remember having was a happy meal late… — read more

“Depression is a thief, it robs you of friends and self belief” But what if you never had many/much, if any of them to start? It’s odd to start a review, if we can call these ramblings reviews, with lyrics from the last track of an album but No Sunshine was how “The List” started… — read more

In a previous entry I (rightfully) claimed that Semi-Detached by Therapy? was the greatest album of 1998. This is a claim that I stand by but I had to fact check just to see what I was putting it up against and saw an album that I adore but one that I didn’t find until… — read more

What I Listened To In A Year Part 9
1998 was the worst year of my life. 1998 was the worst year of my life so far. My very first actual girlfriend was pregnant, swore me to secrecy and then dumped me. I wasn’t there for the birth as I was in bed with another girl. I didn’t see my daughter until she was… — read more

It’s no secret to anyone that I’m struggling at the moment. Everything feels too much, it’s all too fast and too loud. I’m constantly overwhelmed or right on the verge of being so. I almost miss being underwhelmed and to be honest I’d quite like to just have an adequate amount of whelms about me… — read more

What I listened To In A Year Part 7
Is perfection truly attainable? I can find fault in pretty much anything if I want to. In myself I see little other than my numerous flaws. My smile is crooked. I try too hard to be a good person rather than just being a good person. I’m sarcastic. I’ll make a joke of things rather… — read more
