Neighbourhood Sounds · The Circle

Not a magazine.
A listening room.

Journal is where we write. The Circle is where you talk back — the Weekly Album Highlight, the Monthly Playlist, and every rating and take readers leave underneath.

Album Title — Artist Name

★★★★☆

The editor's pick, argued over by whoever wants to leave a rating and a take of their own underneath — new highlight every Monday.

July's Selects

A curated set uploaded once a month — the drop cadence, not a constant feed. This month leans rainy-day, tied to the actual season, not just a mood.

What the room's been saying.

Example reader
★★★★★

Sample take — shows how community comments will surface here once the highlight is live and the comment backend is wired up.

Another reader
★★★☆☆

A second example — disagreement is welcome, that's the point of a circle over a magazine.

This whole page is a working layout. The highlight, playlist, and comment thread all need the same small backend (Netlify Forms or a function) to hold real submissions — next build step once the front end feels right.
