Earlier in the year I was actually listening to a huge amount of Red Hot Chili Peppers, but that release of the new Foo Fighters album in September had me hitting them hard in the months that followed. Then I picked up Moby’s Hotel at long last toward the end of the year and was using it to chill myself out during all of the end of year stress at work. So the Chilli’s kind of got bumped into third by the late charge from the other two.
This year I think I’m going to listen to more of my recommendations radio station, as I’ve flat out exhausted my CD collection and I’ll need to broaden my horizons a bit before I get sick of my favourites.
