I’m quickly picking up listening to music as a hobby. By as a hobby I mean that I am becoming a person who just sits in a dark room and listens to music. I’m not listening while writing, working, or reading. My only possible distraction is Oli, my 4 year old orange cat. Focusing and listening to music in this way allows me to connect with the music in a different way, one that I find better. I have started to curate a to be listened to list. (TBL) This is a rotating list of songs that I maintain and listen to. Once I’m done listening to the songs, I file them away in my system. Keeping a TBL helps me to make sure that I’m listening to all the things I want to. Think of a TBL like a TBR but instead of keeping a list of books to read, you keep a list or playlist of music that you want to listen to. The same principles apply, mostly. I just talked about this in my most recent podcast episode which you can find here.

I thought it would be fun to share my TBL so it is down below. My current streaming service of choice is Apple Music, though I desperately want to try Qobuz. Feel free to follow this playlist! It’ll be updated regularly.

Go Listen!
