If you tuned in last night -- and before the overnight ratings are even announced, I'm thinking that a lot of you did (taping
Lost, like I did) -- you know now that we are down to the

Kiefer Sutherland has an interesting
playlist up on iTunes. While most artists
include songs that inspire them, he is using his playlist as a platform to promote bands that use his L.A. recording
studio, called
Ironworks. The studio is kinda nifty, because it
holds all
28 Gibson guitars that Kiefer has
collected over the years, and they are available for use by the bands.

playlist shameless self promotion, I think it's a great way to learn about new music. Maybe that's because I happen to
like the little snippets that I heard. Plus, he has also included some well-known performers such as Marvin Gaye, U2,
and Sarah McLachlan.
