Well, I was really disappointed that James Iha wouldn't be rejoining but I guess things will work out okay without him because Zeitgeist is pretty win. It reminds me of a mix between Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness and Machina/The Machines of God. Four out of five stars IMO.

I don't know why nothing is being tracked anymore. I tried updating iTunes and reinstalling the iTunes plug-in. I even downloaded the damn proprietary Last.fm software. Still nothing is being scrobbled. >_<

Damn it. I forgot to reinstall Last.fm's plug-in so nothing I've been listening to has been scrobbled. I'm kind of pissed about that since RETURNER～闇の終焉～ is the best single Gackt has ever released.

Usually his singles are hit and miss with either the A-side being so-so and the B-side being awesome – like 君のためにできること for example or less often it 's the other way around and the actual single itself is fantastic but the B-side is meh, like Secret Garden and Redemption.

RETURNER～闇の終焉～, however, is all-around phenomenal. I couldn't ask for better B-sides than my favorite ones ever, Cube…

I'm not sure whether to be disappointed or relieved that Last.fm isn't registering how many times I've listened to Returner ~Yami no Shuuen~.

On one hand, I'd like to start bumping its listen count ASAP. On the other, I'm concerned with being either institutionalized or laughed at for being the Gacktard that I am.

It doesn't seem to be impressing as many people as I thought it would. I wonder if it will turn out to be one of Gackt's most under-appreciated single.

I think it's fabulous. The flute melody from Mind Forest is pretty negligible considering how small…

Needs moar Shine.

It's my new Season's Call in that I can listen to it on repeat without getting tired of it.

While trying to organize some of my MP3s on my desktop computer at home last night, I realized my Girly J Pop folder had exploded into 1 GB.

After having removed any duplicates I could find, I'm now in the process of cleaning out 320 kbps Utada Hikaru MP3s I don't actually like. But I have to listen to a bunch of them to figure that out, so she's going to completely overwhelm my list of songs scrobbled this week.

She needs to do more songs like Passion, Keep Tryin', and Letters, and less songs like… 70%…

It has been approximately 450 days since I was in glorious Tokyo and saw Gackt live. I haven't listened to much of the second half of the concert that much lately. "U+K" from that show just played and it still takes me back to that day.

I really, really, really want to see him again.

Evidently Last.fm doesn't like any of my Malice Mizer metadata either. >_< I just listened to stuff from the singles collection (which I ripped myself), Merveilles L'Espace, and Merveilles and none of them were recognized.

I can't figure out what's wrong with the ID3 tags.

Sadness. The older iTunes-specific audioscrobbling application doesn't pick up any of my Beatles songs.

Dang it. No ni Saku Hana no Yo Ni finally arrived in the mail yesterday but I forgot to bring it to work with me. I STILL haven't heard it yet!
