iTunes Celebrity Playlist: Part Two

The iTunes Celebrity Playlist by Drew Barrymore and Ellen Page had so much good music we couldn’t fit it all into one post.

The best song they recommend is “Home” by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros:

Two other songs from their playlist deserve mention here:

“Dandelions in Bullet Holes” by Sarah Harmer:

“Islands in the Stream” by The Constantines and Feist:

Lastly, Barrymore recommends listening to Jenny Lewis, whose first solo album Rabbit Fur Coat was Barrymore’s “favorite album of 2006.” Page didn’t say anything about Jenny Lewis in the podcast, but I saw Ellen Page at a Jenny Lewis concert in LA last year @ the Orpheum theatre.
