Rose McIver of The Lovely Bones shares her current playlist with ARTISTdirect.com editor and Dolor author Rick Florino in this exclusive feature…

A Taste:

In The Lovely Bones, Rose McIver gets to cycle through a whole spectrum of emotions in order to play the grief-stricken Lindsey Salmon. She explores and each and every character nuance masterfully with a distinct and direct acting rhythm.

Given that rhythm on-screen, we were very curious about what Rose has on her iPod. She sat down with ARTISTdirect.com editor and Dolor author Rick Florino about what’s on her playlist.

Olivia Thirlby

What Goes Up star Olivia Thirlby cycles through her iPod and gives us an exclusive look at her favorite music…

A Taste:

Regina Spektor, Bon Iver, Erykah Badu, Delta Spirit

Olivia Thirlby could very well be a tastemaker.

She burst into pop culture’s collective consciousness as Ellen Page’s “cool” friend in Juno, and now she’s adding edge, wit and sass to What Goes Up and The Answer Man. However, at the moment, she’s scanning her iPod for some solid playlist suggestions. Scrolling through a smorgasbord of tunes, she laughs, “I’m going to show you some really good stuff!”

She knows “good” too, and her selections are all over the map.

Nevertheless, she sees each and every song as a tool for her own art. Olivia explains, “Music is part of the essence of being alive. There’s no doubt that it can affect or alter your mood or atmosphere. If I have an audition for a character that’s a stretch for me, I’ll go out of my way to play music before the audition that I feel will get me into the right headspace.”
