Kotaku readers! How are you? Would you care to join us in tonight's open thread of random chitchat and maybe even some video game conversation to end your day? This is the off topic thread in which to do it.
So let's do it! Since it's Tuesday, we like to have a theme to these threads. This is a recurring one, in which we talk about the music and podcasts and books we've been listening to. Me? I've been playing some Robyn, some Anamanaguchi and some Wye Oak recently. I've also been listening to the 8-4 Play podcast and NPR's Planet Money wrap-ups. I miss the Kotaku podcast!
Recommendations and advice about good things to listen to are encouraged in the comments.

I've snuck in OCRemix's Heroes vs. Villains to work today. Soooooo gooooood! It's free, too! Go find the torrent for it on OCR's website and download it! :D

The Portal 2 - Songs To Test By
Iron & Wine - The Shepherd's Dog
Listening to VAST (as I have everyday for a decade or so) and the new albums from Incubus, Interpol and Kanye.
Foo fighters - wasting light!
Machine Head, new song is amazing.
Yes... yes it is :) Cannot wait for the new album!!
Lately I've been cranking two Pain albums; Psalms of Extinction and Cynic Paradise.
I've been hammering the new Beastie Boys record, which makes me want to throw in some of their old stuff too. Been loving it.
At work we have Beastie Boys Fridays.
It's just every album playing all day. It's the best :D
anything Ska
good call, getting into Big D and the Kids Table at the moment!
Triple J
The sword, brocas helm and blind guardian.
Podcast wise - Rant Theory (ranttheory.blogspot.com). 3 Aussie gamers just sitting around having a chat about games and it's hilarious!
Music - Foo Fighters Wasting Light has been getting a good workout in the car on the way to work.
Just picked up Revelator by the Tedeschi Trucks Band last week, been playing that a lot. I love me some Derek Trucks.
OCremix and some J-pop
Grum - Heartbeats
Fantastic album, an electronic bland of 70's 80's synth from modern times!
Triple J right now but ive been enjoying the Going Quantum channel on YouTube as of late.
Also I hate to be that guy but isn’t it Wednesday not Tuesday?
It's a US Kotaku article.
Usually I don't publish these thingmies - but I was curious about what you guys were listening to, so I put it through.
Band "Eloy";Album "Floating"... some good old fashioned German Prog
Found it by listening to Sony's Qriocity Service... Some really weird stuff in there especially the 70's Italian pop
I had my first go of that over the weekend - great mix of obscure stuff I'd never have discovered otherwise.
Listening to some Sevendust, Unearth and Machine Head at the moment :)
Battles - Gloss Drop. get amongst it.
yeaahh Battles.
The Devil Wears Prada - With Roots Above and Branches Below & Zombie EP. Got hooked back in after hearing the new track yesterday.
Mm..new track is solid. I still think the new August Burns Red song trumps it though. http://www.augustburnsred.com/
Cannot wait for ABR's new album based on the first four tracks released. Devil Wears is going to be choice too.
Oh man, that new August Burns Red track is slick. Pretty pumped for both albums.
Agreed. You can hear the production value differences with Adam D on the helm in relation to the TDWP, as opposed to Sturgis. Good to see them trying something different for a change. Should be a jackhammer of a record too.
The Nursing office printing out 'War and Peace' on the printer behind me...
For. The. Last. Six. God. Damn. Hours.
Ahahahaha.
Update: They've moved onto 'The Complete And Unabridged Works Of William Shakespeare'.
Seriously, what the hell are you women printing?
Update: it's stopped.
Oh, it's out of paper.
The Cure.
Been binging since the opera house gig
JEALOUS
I can't stop listening to Sabaton's Coat Of Arms CD at the moment. I'll try and put something else on but I always end up just going back to Coat Of Arms.
LASERS - Lupe Fiasco
Shaolin vs Wu-Tang - Raekwon
Bad meets Evil - Eminem & Royce da 5"9
Wasting Light - Foo Fighters
Unplugged - Lil Wayne
Mainly The Mars Volta, Blind Guardian and a little bit of Slipknot, really looking forward to the coming Blind Guardian gig in Sydney.
No podcasts, though i've been reading through book III of the Dark Tower series.
