311

Vocalist Nick Hexum shares his playlist with us in this exclusive feature…

A Taste:

Death Cab for Cutie, Slipknot, Lamb of God, Nickel Creek

311 is all about phases.

On Uplifter, every song goes through its own metamorphosis. Styles shift seamlessly from funk to reggae to alt rock to heavy metal. In the same fashion, singer Nick Hexum’s iPod is also constantly shifting. However, it’d have to be to inspire 311’s veritable musical melting pot!

“Music is all about unity,” he says. “I try to have that attitude in my day-to-day life. I’m the kind of guy who likes almost everything! If you open your mind, you can hear what any artist was aiming for and relate to it on some level.”

Nick opened up his iTunes for us and gave us an exclusive look at the music that’s “uplifting” him right now. Check out his playlist below and snag 311’s latest album, Uplifter on June 2nd!

Nick Hexum’s Playlist:

1. Death Cab for Cutie

I’m all over the place musically, but I recently went through a big Death Cab for Cutie phase. They’re amazing songwriters, and the singer’s great!

2. Slipknot

Damien Wayans

Dance Flick director Damien Wayans shares his playlist with us in this exclusive feature…

A Taste:

Jay-Z, Kanye West, Drake, Kings of Leon

Some families have a secret recipe that they hand down for generations.

Sometimes it’s for cookies or lasagna, however, it’s different for every clan. For the Wayans family, it’s a potent comedy concoction—the perfect mixture of slapstick and sarcasm. With Dance Flick, director Damien Wayans carries on his family’s time-honored tradition of parodying Hollywood trends. In fact, Dance Flick stands proudly alongside the Wayans’ funniest fare, striking the same irreverent comedy gold.

Damien shared his playlist with us in this exclusive feature. Check out what he’s spinning below! Dance Flick is out now!

Damon Wayans Jr.

Damon Wayans Jr. shares his playlist with us in this exclusive feature…

A Taste:

Drake

Dance Flick teaches some valuable lessons like, “Don’t wear a pink shirt top a drive-by.”

That may be common sense, but it’s a good point to reiterate. The recipient of that tidbit is the film’s protagonist Thomas, a hilarious Damon Wayans Jr. Young Damon keeps the Wayans’ comedy tradition alive through an outrageous and clever performance in the film.

He’s also got an interesting taste in music, and he shared his playlist selection with us in this exclusive feature.

Damon Wayans Jr.’s Playlist:

1. Drake

“I actually just got into Drake. He was on Degrassi. I used to think he was credible—like kind of thugged out. Then I was like, ‘Wait, you’re on Degrassi.’” [Laughs]
