@northernnarwhal Mine is lame and unimpressive mostly.
Thursday, 17-Jul-14 05:26:11 UTC from web-
@yodelerty Most of my stuff is digital but I have some CDs too and a bunch of vinyl records.
Thursday, 17-Jul-14 05:27:24 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal I have maybe 30 CDs and a bunch of downloads and no vinyl because I don't have a player.
Thursday, 17-Jul-14 05:31:44 UTC from web-
@yodelerty I probably have ~50 vinyls and well over 100 CDs, and a crapload of digital stuff.
Thursday, 17-Jul-14 05:35:31 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal Yeah I'm not really as big of a music person as you. I'm not really big into anything

@yodelerty Evil pikmin
Thursday, 17-Jul-14 05:16:04 UTC from web-
@nerthos what
Thursday, 17-Jul-14 05:17:35 UTC from web-
@yodelerty Overlord. It's basically the Mordor-localized version of Pikmin.
Thursday, 17-Jul-14 05:18:07 UTC from web-
@nerthos That sounds odd.
Thursday, 17-Jul-14 05:21:12 UTC from web-
@yodelerty It's a really fun game though. You're an evil overlord and have to lead your colour coded minions to recover all the stuff your dark tower is missing and regain control over the land. You have tought minions, fire minions, poison minions and water minions and an take a certain amount of them with you at a time. Just like Pikmin.
Thursday, 17-Jul-14 05:26:12 UTC from web-
@nerthos So it's like an rts or something
Thursday, 17-Jul-14 05:29:26 UTC from web-
@yodelerty Somewhat. RTS fantasy mayhem simulator kinda.
Thursday, 17-Jul-14 05:30:17 UTC from web-
@nerthos I'll probably pass
Thursday, 17-Jul-14 05:31:51 UTC from web-
@yodelerty Oh well. I always wanted to play it and it was on sale the other day.
Thursday, 17-Jul-14 05:32:58 UTC from web-
@nerthos Nice nice.
Thursday, 17-Jul-14 05:33:29 UTC from web-
@yodelerty I paid $6.01 for all the PC Overlord games, Dirt 3, Operation Flashlight and maybe something else. Can't remember.
Thursday, 17-Jul-14 05:36:02 UTC from web-
@nerthos That humble bundle stuff I'm guessing
Thursday, 17-Jul-14 05:36:54 UTC from web-
@yodelerty Yeah, the daily sale.

@ellie Stop running obviously
Thursday, 17-Jul-14 05:33:39 UTC from web -
@ellie I have a few thousand albums digitally, I try to buy stuff but I'd be lying if I said I didn't download.

@ellie Off the top of my head, I'm really into Aesop Rock, Cannibal Ox, Danny Brown, Wu Tang Clan (and basicaly any of the solo stuff from its members), Mos Def, Shabazz Palaces, Deltron 3030, Subtle, Talib Kweli, and a bunch of others. Also massive fan of Death Grips if they count, though they hardly fit one genre.
Thursday, 17-Jul-14 05:47:35 UTC from web -
@ellie Hahaha yeah, I'm a bit of a hip hop head. As for country, the first and obvious choice is the man in black himself Johhny Cash (At Folsom Prison is just too good). Besides that, I'm into Gram Parsons, Robbie Fulks, Steve Earle, and Hank Williams off the top of my head.
Thursday, 17-Jul-14 05:52:32 UTC from web -
@ellie Aw, thanks, I try to listen to a bit of everything anyway :3 How about you? Any rappers you like? Or country musicians since we're on the topic?
Thursday, 17-Jul-14 05:57:33 UTC from web -
@ellie It's sort of on the periphery of country but I'm really into folk as well. Fairport Convention, Judee Sill, Nick Drake, Leonard Cohen, and I am an absolute fanatic for Neil Young (well, his 60s and 70s stuff anyway).

@ellie You've got good taste, Immortal Technique and Kendrick are easily two of rap's finest lyricists. And Nas, oh man don't even get me started on Illmatic.
Thursday, 17-Jul-14 06:10:00 UTC from web -
@ellie Oh yes definitely, he's one of the first rappers I point to when trying to show people the more intellectual side of rap/hip hop.
Thursday, 17-Jul-14 06:13:31 UTC from web -
@ellie Kendrick's work is very cinematic, he's excellent at telling stories and painting a picture for his listener. I like Chance as well although I fear he's hit his peak with Acid Rap, and Macklemore is alright but kind of got a bit over hyped by the press. Not even going to touch on those last 2, yuck. In terms of more recent listening, my favourite hip hop album of this year is definitely still Pinata by Freddie Gibbs and Madlib (who's one of the most genius producers ever in my opinion). Very heavy 90s influence on this album but it also has several Madlib signatures like jazzy beats and odd samples. Freddie delivers some of his best bars to date too.
Thursday, 17-Jul-14 06:20:06 UTC from web -
@ellie Oh yeah, I don't dislike Macklemore, and I think Ryan Lewis is actually a pretty good producer. But he's definitely overrated. I'm really hoping Chance continues down the road he took with Acid Rap and does more very psychedelic sounding rap, because that was fun to listen to. Definitely check out Pinata though, it's fantastic. At the very least, the production will blow you away. Madlib has a very distinct style and flavour with his instrumentals.
Thursday, 17-Jul-14 06:25:55 UTC from web -
@ellie Off the top of my head I'm really into Boards of Canada, The Knife, Justice, Jon Hopkins, Autechre, The Chemical Brothers, Massive Attack, Flying Lotus, and Burial as well as some others.
Thursday, 17-Jul-14 06:30:32 UTC from web -
@ellie I'm kind of the same, I really try to appreciate music as an art form. And I think it's important to really understand where an album's coming from, and also how it stands in respect to its peers.

@ellie Haha, yeah. It's the cover to Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion. It just looks really cool, plus it's sort of an optical illusion and moves if you stare at it. Oh, really good album too. Unique take on experimental pop music.
Thursday, 17-Jul-14 06:41:03 UTC from web -
@ellie It's definitely their most accessible record, their earlier stuff is very noisy and very very weird (I totally love it though).

@ellie Just wait until you experience Animal Collective though, they're really odd. Easily one of the most eclectic acts of the past decade.
Thursday, 17-Jul-14 06:46:36 UTC from web -
@ellie He's such a fantastic producer, he has a very wide influence in his work. His collaboration album with MF Doom, Madvillainy, is easily one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time bar none.
