Guest Contributor: Norman Reedus


The picture may be hard to recognize, but most may remember this month's guest contributor from the first and only film directed by the egotistical Troy Duffy, 'The Boondock Saints'. I had the pleasure of meeting him at a film wrap party for 'A Crime' back in December, and was surprised to find that the actor was so laid back and down to earth. He also holds a strong appreciation for music, so he didn't hesitate one bit when I asked him to contribute a special playlist for WNR this month.

I listen to music pretty much all day long. I usually have a soundtrack of the week playing all day long, and the songs kind of set the tone with whatever it is I'm trying to do. Most of the time the songs are all completely different, coming from all sorts of different places that dont make any sense at all. I just like the way they pick me up or slow me down. Here is this week's playlist give or take a few:

Dudley Perkins: Flowers
Aesop Rock: Big Bang
Geto Boys: Bring It On
Kool & The Gang: Summer Madness
Grace Jones: Private Life
Howie B: I Can Sing But I Don't Want To
Bauhaus: Double Dare
Dead Kennedys: Holiday In Cambodia
Fu Manchu: Cyclone Launch
Jucifer: Superman
Betty Davis: Shoo-B-Doop And Cop Him
God Complex: Freestyle (ft Mr Lif N Virtuo)

Many thanks to Norman for sharing his fantastically diverse soundtrack with us all.

If I didn't already worship the man for his acting talent and general niceness, I'd start with it now, because I totally dig his taste in music.

This playlist is as sophisticated and diverse as you expect from someone like Norman. Thanks!

I didn't think it was possible to love this man any more than I already do... guess I was wrong...what a great array of music he picked!

I already greatly appreciate darling Norman's acting skills but now I bow down to the master. I'm definitely loving this man who loves music almost as much as I do. He is amazing.

You know, I think it's pretty much to be expected that he has a diverse taste in music. The( oh so beautiful)man is an artist. And I think that those who use that part of their brain, would live and breath wide varities of music. Because, remember now, what makes good music, is not what the artist looks like, what their "scene" says you should look like, what record label they're on, or who says they're good. When you listen to a song, if it gets into you, I mean, truly, the lyrics, or the beat get into you, THAT is good music. There are only two kinds of music, good music and bad music. Don't let stereotypes sway your judgement on what makes it so.
