I don't stream music unless you count watching music videos on YouTube. I just listen to my AAC rips of the CDs I buy.
Lately I've been digging the first
Cowboy Bebop OST, and just ordered the second and third, as well as the soundtrack for
Tetsuo: The Bullet Man. I love the first two
Tetsuo films, and their music by Chu Ishikawa. Well, the third film (which I'm definitely looking forward to) also features tunes by Chu, as well as an end credits theme by Nine Inch Nails.
It's freaking awesome. I hadn't even known NIN was going to be providing a song, so it came as a surprise when the song was released a couple weeks ago.
Oh, and I've kind of slowly been getting back into metal and playing some
Nasum lately. Awesome grindcore. Which puts me on a mini-rant: I hate how "fauxcore," as I call it, is so popular these days. It has nothing to do with real hardcore music, has no musical ties to punk whatsoever—the terms "hardcore," "emo," "screamo," "post-hardcore," etc. have all been hijacked by these shitty bands made my moronic teens and twerps in their early 20s who wear girl jeans and style their hair real obnoxiously.

I hate these bands so much. Even the term "metalcore" has been hijacked; current metalcore bands, or most of 'em at least (maybe there still are real metalcore bands about), sound nothing like the punk-and-metal-fused real metalcore bands like Botch, Drowningman, early Cave In, and so on. Instead, it sounds like a watered-down version of melodic death metal with really bad breakdowns and Disney Sing Along Song choruses. This garbage just reeks, and it's popular with all the kids, and I hate it.
Anyway, where I'm going with this is: Nasum, an actual "-core" band, shit all over these wimpy bands.
