Katie Featherston & Micah Sloat of Paranormal Activity

Paranormal Activity stars Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat share their “haunted” iPod playlists with ARTISTdirect.com editor and Dolor author Rick Florino in this exclusive feature…

A Taste:

Beethoven, Bob Schneider, Al Green

What do ghosts listen to?

Chances are it’s a combination of Slayer and Elvis…since we can’t know for sure what the paranormal are cranking, we figured we’d chat with “the haunted” themselves about music. It was a lot easier than having a séance to find out a playlist, and technology just hasn’t reached that point, unfortunately. Hopefully someday though…

Paranormal Activity’s Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat were both excited to share their respective playlists with ARTISTdirect.com editor and Dolor author Rick Florino in this exclusive feature.

Check out Micah and Katie’s playlists below and don’t miss Paranormal Activity out on DVD everywhere now!

Micah Sloat’s Playlist

1. Beethoven

Honestly, this is really funny. Last night, I turned on NPR and I heard Beethoven’s “8th Symphony.” I thought, “Damn, if that’s not an awesome piece of music….”

2. Revell

3. Brams

4. Mozart

Recently, I’ve been getting back into the classical era and listening to a lot of old school stuff—Revell, Brams and Mozart. That wasn’t the answer you were expecting [Laughs]

Acting and music are both performance arts, so there’s a lot of crossover with what you’re doing. I’ll just say that whatever I’ve learned in music, I find myself taking with me on set, and whatever I use in acting classes, I always find that helps me out when I’m on stage. There’s a huge crossover. What really connects them ultimately is the sense of sharing. When you’re really sharing your experience with the audience, no matter what movie you’re communicating in, that’s going to be good work. No matter what I’m doing creatively in my life, I knew as long as I was relating to people I’d be happy. It’s a real blessing and a real opportunity to do this on such a high level. I want to say thank you to everyone all of the fans that have been so awesome and allowed all of us to share our work. If anyone out there is a struggling artist, stick with it because it does happen.

Snoop Dogg

Snoop Dogg opens up his iTunes and gives us an exclusive look at what he’s spinning…

A Taste:

Al Green, Willie Hutch, Marvin Gaye

“It’s not a juggle, it’s just what I do,” says Snoop Dogg about his amazing ability to multi-task. As of late, the rap legend has become the paragon of balance—as strange as that sounds. Right now, he’s working on his next album Malice In Wonderland, he’s hosting his very own variety show on MTV, Dogg After Dark, he’s planning upcoming movie projects and he’s got Snoop Dogg’s Fatherhood on E! However, he still finds time to promote the young guns, using Dogg After Dark as a platform for new artists.

The Doggfather opened up his iTunes playlist and gave us an exclusive look inside at what he’s bumpin’ right now. Of course, Snoop keeps it classy.

He laughs, “When people ask me what’s in the iPod, I can never say anything new because there’s never anything new! [Laughs] I’m more old school, you know what I’m saying? I’m about what happened yesterday because I am today.”

Spoken like the true innovator he is!

Check out Snoop Dogg’s playlist below and don’t miss Dogg After Dark every Tuesday on MTV at 9pm PT/ET.
