Fred Armisen, one of few funny things about Saturday Night Live these days, has a celebrity
playlist on iTunes that is about unusual as Fred seems to be. The strangest track has to be "====" by Oval
(pronounced o-VAL, according to Fred). I'm not even sure that it's music. It sounds like a sound check with an
over-modulated microphone. Second most unusual track: Pocket Calculator by Kraftwerk. It sounds like a video
game. Fred says he saw the band recently and "For their encore, they didn't appear on stage. It was robots of
them. What is better than that? Seriously, what?" Okay, I have to agree that would be pretty awesome. The rest of
the list includes familiar groups like Wilco, Talking Heads, Gorillaz, The Clash and Sleater-Kinney. And, of course, he
included a Prince song. After all, Fred does a kick-ass impression of the guy.Fred Armisen's iTunes playlist

There was an article in Spin magazine recently in which he and the guy from Interpol discuss the most popular songs of 2005. In it, he mentions an obscure band he used to be in, but I find it interesting how he's getting this attention lately that seems atypical for SNL cast members.
