Ye Olde Celebrity Playlists

Have you ever looked at the celebrity playlists on iTunes? They’re dullsville and so are the celebs who endorse them. (Ex: “Your Love is My Drug by Ke$ha…is such a good song to listen to while you are driving.” – Miranda Cosgrove a.k.a Nickelodeon’s  iCarly) But maybe I would be inclined to purchase these tunes if they seemed to have any true life significance (beyond “this song reminds me of winter!” – Taylor Swift) OR came from a more influential individual.

Here’s some I would totally enter my Apple ID password for:
