Last.fm Journals

Journal pages were removed in the 2014 redesign, though they still exist at their old URLs (eg, last.fm/user/{username}/journal).

The pages aren't accessible by navigation, user the older page layout, and aren't part of the API anymore. It's quite possibly they may disappear entirely in the future.

Grab 'em while you can.
