Since getting into this Audioscrobbling business it appears my love for music has reared it head and appeared once again. Even if much of the time I'm just playing tracks to try and get my "most listened artists" numbers to reflect my current moods!

Anyway, I head a fantastic Led Zeppelin song on the radio as I woke up the other morning. I love it when that happens, just as you're regaining conciousness a gorgeous song begins playing and you seem to listen to it all the more closely and (more often than not) fall in love with it. It happened to me with Queen's 'A Winter's Tale' many years ago, and before then that song didn't interest me much.

Anyway, the song was 'Fool In The Rain', and lying there listening to it I would have sworn it was an early Elton John song, until the DJ said Led Zep when it had finished. A very funky piano-based song, and I guess I must have been really groggy to mistake Robert Plant's voice for old Reggie's.

That song is now going on my "Songs Of The Moment" CD for September '05.

My sister has been trying to get me to listen to Do Me Bad Things and I finally got around to it. Hasn't captivated me, but hold my interest enough to keep listening and give them a chance. I would describe them so far as the Scissor Sisters meets The White Stripes. I quite like 'What's Hideous', that was a single I believe.

I've also started listening to a little bit of Tool and Nine Inch Nails again. I love NIN's last single 'Only'.So it seems right now I'm into funky-rock stuff that's a little quirky and leaning towards dark, and certainly not in the Red Hot Chili Peppers style.

What the hell happened to them? Isn't it ironic that now they're putting out their blandest, most uninspiring music, they're also the most successful they've ever been? Makes you sick!
