A Taste:

The Black Keys, Dan Auerbach, Sigur Ros

What’s the best way to beat the cold—especially in the South Pole?

By listening to your favorite bands of course…

Alex O’Loughlin and Gabriel Macht had the chance to get chilly with Kate Beckinsale for Whiteout [Warner Bros.]—the pulse-pounding adaptation of Greg Rucka’s highly acclaimed graphic novel. While building this dark mystery, Alex and Gabriel both spent some time with their iPod’s blasting.

So what are they listening to now?

“Right now, I’m actually listening to an audio book, so I’m totally not answering you,” laughs Gabriel.

Alex follows, “He’s the worst! I’m loving The Black Keys‘ Attack and Release at the moment. It’s just crazy. I love Dan Auerbach’s solo stuff too. The guy’s amazing. I saw them play in Sydney last Christmas, and it was incredible.”

Alex and Gabriel both shared playlist selections with ARTISTdirect.com for this exclusive feature. Check them out below and in the video!

Be sure to catch Whiteout in theaters on September 11.
