2026: A Year in Music

I used to listen to a lot of music, and then life happened. I'd like to change that, so this page is where I'll keep track of each album I listen to. My goal is one new album per week, at minimum.


Date Listened Artist Album Quick Notes Songs I Liked
January 7 Wolf Alice The Clearing Needs a few more listens to really sink in, but some very good harmonies that kept me intrigued. Bread Butter Tea Sugar, Leaning Against the Wall, Passenger Seat
January 8 Geese Getting Killed Woof. I tried, but I don't remotely understand the appeal of this. Caterwauling for days, no hooks to be found, jazzy (derogatory). I rushed through the final few songs because I just couldn't find a single thing to enjoy. Some days I feel like music snobs are trolling and this is one of those days. Taxes
January 9 The Verve Urban Hymns If this album lived up to the expectations I had of it, it very well could have saved the world. If it were made in 2025, with modern sensibilities, I think it could be revolutionary. As it is, it was made in 1997, and is a bit too samey to really stand out. Bitter Sweet Symphony, Lucky Man
