Shawn Wayans

In honor of Dance Flick, Shawn Wayans opens up his iTunes and gives us an exclusive look at what he’s spinning…

A Taste:

Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Barbara Streisand, Frank Sinatra

In Dance Flick, Shawn and Marlon Wayans bring all jokes right to the dance floor. The film pulls the right moves to make audiences laugh out loud. Shawn had a hand in the script, and he’s also hilarious as “Baby Daddy.” Check out the scene where he goes to “pick up his son.” Dance Flick has the kind of infectious irreverence that audiences have come to expect from the Wayans Brothers.

Shawn’s comedy has a rhythm to it, so in order to get us closer to that flow, he shared his playlist with us in this exclusive feature. Marlon added some commentary on Shawn’s selections too…

Peep Shawn’s playlist below and be sure to catch Dance Flick on May 22nd in theaters.

Shawn Wayans’ Playlist:

1. Jay-Z

Marlon Wayans

Marlon Wayans shares his playlist with us for this exclusive Dance Flick feature…

A Taste:

Nirvana, Dr. Dre

Marlon Wayans never misses an opportunity for a joke. In Dance Flick, his psychotic teacher, Mr. Moody, provides some of the film’s most outrageous lines and antics Moody also has a pretty sweet argyle sweater and big glasses. Marlon keeps the humor coming, and his unbridled comedy always makes for memorable moments.

The actor and writer opened up his iTunes and gave us an exclusive look at what he’s spinning. Shawn Wayans also chimed in with some feedback on what rocks Marlon’s world.

Peep Marlon’s playlist below and be sure to catch Dance Flick on May 22nd in theaters.

Marlon Wayans’ Playlist:

1. Nirvana

Marlon: “I just started getting into rock music.”

Shawn: “Oh, that’s not weird.”

Filter

Filter frontman Richard Patrick opens up his iTunes and gives us an exclusive look at what he’s spinning…

A Taste:

Deftones, Ministry, Patsy Cline, U2

Filter have always been able to pack just the right dose of anger and melody into the same song.

Who could forget “Hey Man, Nice Shot” or “Welcome to the Fold,” they were about as pissed off and passionate as rock music gets. However, Filter mainman Richard Patrick is as fired up as he’s ever been on the band’s most recent offering, Anthems for the Damned, a scathing and soulful slab of rock.

Richard Patrick decided to share his playlist with us in this exclusive feature. Check out what he’s spinning below!

Richard Patrick’s Playlist:

1. Deftones — “Feiticeira”

I find Chino’s sense of melody astounding.

2. U2 — “The Unforgettable Fire”

U2 has always been a huge inspiration to me, and this is one of their grand achievements.

3. Jane’s Addiction — “Three Days”

Duff McKagan

Duff McKagan (Loaded, Velvet Revolver, Guns N’ Roses) opens up his iTunes and gives us a look at what rocks his world…

A Taste:

Alice In Chains, ZZ Top, The Gutter Twins

Duff McKagan wants you to get Loaded.

On his new solo album with Loaded, Sick, he delivers thirteen hard rockin’ anthems that are just as down and dirty as any of his Velvet Revolver output is. Putting down the bass and taking over guitar and vocals duties, Loaded shows another side of Duff. He’s quite the rock and roll songwriter, and given his time in Velvet Revolver and Guns N’ Roses, it all feels real.

Duff shared his playlist with us for this exclusive feature. Check out what he’s spinning below.

Duff McKagan’s Playlist:

1. The Gutter Twins — Saturnalia

You want a record to be a journey from the beginning to end. The Gutter Twins made that record last year.

2. Shiny Toy Guns — We Are Pilots

The White Tie Affair

The White Tie Affair’s Chris Wallace shares his playlist with us in this exclusive feature…

A Taste:

Lady GaGa, The Script, The All-American Rejects

The White Tie Affair will make you dance. Stirring up a mix of vivacious synths and vibrant riffs, the Windy City dance pop pundits know how to get a club grooving for sure. On their debut album, Walk this Way, they fire off one delectably danceable ditty after another. If you didn’t catch them rocking with Lady GaGa, you’ll have a chance to see them on this summer’s Warped Tour.

Vocalist Chris Wallace sat down with us for this exclusive playlist feature. He turned on his iTunes and gave us a look at the music that moves him.

Check out his playlist below!

Chris Wallace’s Playlist:

1. The Script

They’re on Epic too, and they have a Maroon 5 meets U2 vibe.

2. The All-American Rejects — When the World Comes Down
