What Are You Listening To?

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 been hammering the new Beastie Boys record, which makes me want to throw in some of their old stuff too. Been loving it.

Grum - Heartbeats

Fantastic album, an electronic bland of 70's 80's synth from modern times!

  Mm..new track is solid. I still think the new August Burns Red song trumps it though. http://www.augustburnsred.com/

    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.

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.
