Dennis Quaid of Pandorum

Dennis Quaid gives ARTISTdirect.com editor Rick Florino an exclusive look at what’s spinning on his iPod…

A Taste:

The Doors, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Lady GaGa

“I think playing music does help with acting,” says Dennis Quaid with a smile. “It actually helps me on talk shows too [Laughs]. They’re both basically getting up in front of a live audience and winging it!”

Quaid’s so good at what he does that it never seems like he’s just winging it though. He can tear up a stage live with his band, The Sharks, and he also manages to tear up the screen in the sci-fi horror epic, Pandorum. In the film, he wakes from a deep hyper sleep to find that he’s definitely not alone in the middle of the galaxy. What follows is truly terrifying.

However, there’s nothing to be scared of on Dennis’s playlist—other than maybe Lady GaGa.

Quaid laughs, “I really like Lady GaGa to tell you the truth—my guilty pleasure!”

Dennis shared his playlist with ARTISTdirect.com in this exclusive feature. Check it out below and don’t miss him in Pandorum, in theaters today, Friday September 25.

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.

Lady GaGa

Lady GaGa offers up her playlist to us in this exclusive feature…

A Taste:

AC/DC

Even though Lady GaGa’s big hit is titled “Just Dance,” she really likes to rock! That’s what we noticed when we took a look at her iTunes playlist. In fact, GaGa is bumping AC/DC exclusively right now, and it’s not just because she was in the video for “Stiff Upper Lip” when she was a kid. She’s a diehard fan, and she always will be.

Check out what Lady GaGa is spinning below and don’t forget to pick up her debut album, The Fame.

Lady GaGa’s Playlist:

1. AC/DC — Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap

“I’m always listening to AC/DC’s Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. That’s pretty much constantly on ‘repeat’ on my tour bus. It’s my favorite AC/DC record.”
