CELEBRITY PLAYLISTS
I have to say, I have a lot of mixed feelings about the iTunes Music Store. There's definitely a couple of things WRONG with it, however, one of the things I love about it, one of my favorite parts of the music store, is definitely the Celebrity Playlists! And every now and then, there's a playlist put up, like Robert Smith's iMix, that just makes me think of that scene from...High Fidelity:

ROB
Okay...I'm feeling kinda basic today. Top five side one track ones. Number one... "Janie Jones" Clash, from The Clash.

BARRY
Ehh...

ROB
"Let's Get It On" Marvin Gaye from Let's Get It On. Nirvana "Smells Like Teen Spirit" off of Nevermind.

BARRY
Oh no, Rob, that's not obvious enough. Not at all. How bout "Point of No Return" on Point of No Return? Lewis so you can get up...?

ROB
Shut up. Shut up. "White Light, White Heat" Velvet Underground.

LEWIS
Ok, That would be on my list.

BARRY
Though not on mine...

ROB
Massive Attack, No Protection, the song is... "Radiation Ruling the Nation"

BARRY
Ooh! Kind of a new record... Very... Very Nice Rob. A sly declaration of new-classic status slipped into a list of old safe ones! VERY PUSSY! Couldn't you be any more obvious than that Rob? How bout, I don't know...The Beatles? How bout FUCKING... FUCKING Beethoven! Track one side one of the Fifth symphony? How can someone who has no interest in music own a record store?
