Today on Nerdist.com!
What songs did Ben Folds have on repeat when he first formed Ben Folds Five? What music does Adam Carolla think responsible parents should make their kids listen to?
These are the questions Nerdist asks their famous friends in their new Spotify show, Celebrity Playlist. Each week, Nerdist Music Editor Matt Grosinger interviews well known guests about the music they listened to during significant times in their lives to find out how certain songs affected them. Every playlist tells a story and Nerdist is here to share those stories with you on Spotify.
On our premiere episode of Celebrity Playlist, Magic Mike actor Joe Manganiello stops by to discuss a haunting, but sexy playlist inspired by the stories he discovered in his strip club documentary, La Bare. Because nothing says male strippers quite like “Free Radicals” by the Flaming Lips—at least according to Manganiello. Watch Celebrity Playlist right now on Nerdist.Com and on Spotify later this summer.
