My celebrity iTunes playlist


Hell, if that girl who stars in "The Hills" can have a celebrity playlist, I'm getting one too. My choices are better than hers anyway.

Guster – Ruby Falls
I don't know what it is about Guster that makes me want to keep listening. "Ruby Falls" is just a prime example of not being able to stop the music playing.

Under The Flood – The Witness
A great song from an underappreciated local band. Rock your face off beats and heavy guitar solos. If you ever get the chance to see them live, do yourself a favor and go.

Editors – Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors
This song made me get two Editors albums. Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

The Cranberries – Zombie
Zah-om-bee, Zah-om-bee, Zah-om-bee-ee-ee

Passenger – Table For One
Easily my favorite band from 2007. "Table For One" shows you the effects of loneliness in a very human way instead of the whiny "I'm so alone" style that's prevalent in most songs.

The Magnetic Fields – All the Umbrellas in London
Honestly, I can't tell you why I like this song. Everything about it tells me I should hate it, but somehow it forced its way into my playlist.

Radiohead – All I Need
The best song off "In Rainbows." Although music lovers are going nuts for that album. I still think "Kid A" is their best.

Don McLean - Vincent (Starry Starry Night)
A classic. Just try to not like this song. I dare you.

The Roots - The Seed (2.0)
I'm not really a hip-hop fan, but The Roots would easily make me become one. Be prepared... I will be dancing to this one.

They Might Be Giants – Experimental Film
They Might Be Giants always offer humorous songs and a song about making movies is no exception. There's also an "experimental" music video for it as well.

Paul Westerberg – Love You in the Fall
This song made want to pick up a guitar again after years of not playing. Sometimes I daydream that I'm onstage to a packed club playing this song.

House of Fools – Live and Learn
Wailing guitars and synthesizers? I'm there.

Nice list. I too have noticed the "celebrities" getting slightly, umm, suspicious of late on iTunes.

Could you possobly re-post the Don McLean song? I took the dare, liked it anyway, but can't get it to download.

Cheers
