Listening Journal -- and new release listening


I decided to start writing down everything I listen to during my workday. It would be too hard to keep up with outside of the office. The idea is that this is a start. I'd like to start taking brief notes, maybe come up with a rating system so I can quickly go back and see what I liked (or not). 



For a couple of years now I've been trying harder and harder to listen to more new stuff as it comes out. I have worked my way into a routine now where I look around the internet (still looking for better sources) every Friday to see what the new releases are and make playlists in Spotify. I try to listen to at least some of them. I'll post again later to explain my system. It could be improved, but the main thing missing is better-curated lists to start from and enough time to listen to it all -- and maybe a discussion. Below is my listening journal list for Friday 3/13/2020.
