This site is an archive of a blog that thrived during the height of early-2000s blogging, when publishing online felt immediate and unfiltered. It’s a snapshot of my life in London at the time: the places, music and moments that shaped those posts. Some links are broken, some images a little grainy, but that’s all part of the era’s charm.
You'll find all the content behind here, and you can still read it, but for now, Musak has left the building.
Musak ran through the early and mid-2000s — when blogging was the social media of its day, and we wrote directly to each other from our own sites. What you’ll find here are fragments of that time: observations from London, notes on pop culture, half-formed ideas, late-night enthusiasms, and the rhythm of everyday life as it happened. The tone shifts with the years, as most lives do, but the intention remains the same — to capture a moment before it passes.
If you don't know where to start then you may want to go back to the beginning, remember how much you helped me when you were my gym buddy or check out the gay old world in which we live.
The more adventerous might want to pick a date from the archives or just take a gamble and see what was written on this day in Listen to Musak history.
Not everything works. Some external links and images may have vanished; that’s the nature of archives. Where possible I have added a link to the closest page from The Wayback Machine
Dates matter. Posts are best understood in their own moment — before social feeds, smartphones, and algorithms.
Sincerely, thanks for listening to Musak.
