I first used AudioScrobbler back in the heady days of 2003. But I stopped after a while, for a variety of reasons that I can no longer remember - probably because it just wasn't that useful to me, what with it recommending me music that I didn't have any easy way to get at.

However - I finally got around to upgrading to Last.fm, which is what audioscrobbler eventually turned into. And seems to work pretty well so far.

So it's going to have to learn my musical taste all over again (as the last time I had the plugin working was June 2006). And it looks like I'm doing much the same, as my taste is not what it used to be.

I've also realised what the method is for introducing me to new music. Morag gave me a CD with new music on a few months back, and I promised to listen to it. And _completely_ failed to.

And then we spent 8 hours in a car on the way to Skye. And the same on the way back. Plus several days there. Which meant I was forced to actually listen to the damn music.

And now I'm madly in love with "Black Holes & Revelations" (by Muse).

Which goes to show - if you want me to listen to music you need to hold me hostage somewhere and play it at me. Or at least stick it on in the background. Just don't lend it to me and expect me to get around to it...
