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.
While some people may consider his
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.

Michael Scott, Regional Manager for Dunder-Mifflin Paper,
Inc. has his own playlist on iTunes. It makes sense, since
The Office is huge for NBC on iTunes. His playlist
is called,
Michael Scott's Valentine's Day Romantic Playlist. It's creepy and stuck in the '80s. Just like
Michael. The songs are what you'd expect Michael to play on his stereo as he pours you a Zima and hands you one of
those kissing teddy bears from Hallmark. Songs include
Take My Breath Away,
In Your Eyes,
Mambo
No. 5, and
Baby Got Back, which he calls "old skool hip-hop". My favorite, though, is
Take
On Me where he writes, "I love pretty much everything A-Ha ever did. But this is their best." Get it?
Because A-Ha was a one-hit-wonder a long, long time ago.
Check it
out.

The Office valentines from
NBC's website.
