Greetings, Kotaku readers. Can we interest you in some music-themed conversation tonight? May we ask... what are you listening to these days? Even if it's video game soundtracks, this open thread full of off topic conversation is where it's at.
I'm in need of some fresh music suggestions, since all I've been listening to for the past week has been the Dark Souls soundtrack. More about that tomorrow, but if you've got a band, singer, rapper or flautist you're dying to share with us, please make it so.
Here are few links for you, some of them music oriented. Please, talk amongst yourselves.
- The Grey trailer - Watch Liam Neeson fight some wolves with broken bottle knuckles!
- Man wins dumpling eating contest, then dies - "Ivan Mendel ate 10 dumplings in half a minute to win first place and a one-liter jar of sour cream in the contest."
- Sarah Michelle Gellar returns to All My Children - Buffy jokes abound!
- Butch Vig on Nirvana's Nevermind - The album turns 20 this weekend.
- R.E.M. calls it a day - Band ends after 31 years. I kind of tuned out at Monster.
