Welcome to Three Listens!

I created this blog because I love music. I can be caught listening to or trying to sing at least 80%+ of the day.

When my headphones were recently broken, I felt totally disconnected from my playlist and suddenly became unproductive at work and it took a few days to recover.

I never realized how attached I was until it was gone!

The purpose of this blog is to help me put together some thoughts regarding the music I like and dislike. It will also help me to find new music worth listening to.

My theory is that I can tell how much I like a song by how many times it takes hearing it to form that bond of appreciation between the new song and my ears.

My like of the song might fade over time, but if I am able to get some good playtime out of a song, then that's all I ask for.

My goal will be to listen to at least one new album release every week. I will taste each song three times and summarize my thoughts about each one. In conclusion, I will list those tracks that make my permanent playlist and those that get dumped.

I have always been a good predictor of the popular success of a song for the type of music I like, so I guess we'll see what happens now that the pressure is on!
