Celebrity Playlists

If you're ever searching around the iTunes store you've probably stumbled across their 'Celebrity Playlists' section. Apple gets a certain celebrity to give them a list of songs they listen to and they then give them to us. I guess people think it's cool to be listening to the music that a celebrity listens to. I for one find the celebrity culture in America to be ridiculous, and hate celebrity news more than anything. (I will never understand why people care about what celebrities are doing). The one thing I find neat about these playlists is that they tell us more about the person. You can understand a lot about a person by knowing the music they listen to.

But then again, the playlists include lists from great bands/musicians that most likely have music you would like (if you like that band that is).

Well here's a list of what I think celebrities would listen to. And by think, I mean I know. They told me.

Mel Gibson

When most people wake up, they like to greet the morning in a soothing manner. They might have a soft alarm clock, or one of those 'nature' sound things. When Mel Gibson wakes up, he takes a shot of everclear that he poured in advance when he went to sleep and blasts these angry ass songs. Maybe those crazy parents are right, if you listen to angry music, you'll end up punching women who are holding your baby.

Static X - Push It

Disturbed - Down With The Sickness

Eminem - Kim (Explicit Lyrics)

Christian Bale

Another very angry Celebrity. Christian actually released a song with Kid Cudi and Chip Tha Ripper recently. Check it out, I heard that Bale actually got the entire thing done in one take. What a pro. And yes, Christian Bale is a narcissist, so he only listens to songs that he's in.

Bill Murray

In case you didn't know, Bill Murray is a straight up thug. The definition of a 'G'. When he's not takin over bars with RZA and GZA, or drivin slow and sippin' on Hennessy in a golf cart, he's listening to these dope rhymes and fat beats.

Mac Miller - Knock Knock

(Like Mac says, both he and Bill are "white boy awesome")

Das Racist - All Tan Everything

Chip Tha Ripper - Feel Good

Immortal Technique - Industrial Revolution

Jedi Mind Tricks - I Against I

Humphrey Bogart

Most people my age haven't seen his films, and if they have they've probably only seen Casablanca. Humphrey was more than a great actor, his presence extended past the screen. He was the ideal 'man', meaning he was a badass. One of my favorite quotes by him is "The problem with the world is that it's three drinks behind". He did what he wanted, and he was cool for doing it.

Louie Armstrong - La Vie En Rose

Peggy Lee - Is That All There Is?

(This very simple video is chillingly strange. It's like a David Lynch film)

Glen Miller - In The Mood

Billie Holiday - Easy Living
