As a jaded hipster, I am always oddly fascinated by what the rest of my gaming brethren are currently listening to. I was never one to think I had obscure musical taste, but being a reformed hardcore scene weirdo I was used to being surrounded by other people with similar taste in music. Now that I'm immersed in the wonderful world of video game journalism, I realize I have very little to talk about musically!
The odds are good that at least one other music junkie like myself exists around these hallowed halls of Honest Gamers. So, what are YOU listening to right now and what do you gravitate towards musically?
Me, I pretty much have infinite music at my fingertips and tend to get lost in it. Still, I find myself reverting to bands that had a huge influence in my musical upbringing. I try to look forward musically, but bands like Rocket From The Crypt, The Dillinger Escape Plan, This Day Forward, Deadguy, Saetia, Frail, and "you know your from NJ if you used these bands to hook up with girls" powerhouses Penfold and Saves the Day always seem to make it back to the top of my rotation.

I listen to a lot of NIN, The Cure, and Bauhaus yet I try to tell myself I'm better than the fat goths in fishnet shirts. in my defense, I don't have a Downward Spiral tattoo. Nick Cave, Starkweather, Ulver, NoMeansNo, Skinny Puppy, and <code> are all awesome too.
I also like Autechre.

surprisingly the only NIN things I've paid for with money are Ghosts, the BYIT bluray, and a couple tour shirts the other night. in my defense, he told everybody to steal his shit anyway.
