Aziz Ansari: What's on my iPod
Crystal Castles and LCD Soundsystem are among the funnyman's current musical faves
The costar of NBC’s Parks and Recreation will host the MTV Movie Awards on June 6. He’s also a major music fan. Here’s what he’s been listening to lately.
++ Crystal Castles, ”Celestica”
”Crystal Castles specialize in beautiful, catchy eight-bit techno-y music. Such a nice, sweet song. The perfect jam to make out with your Xbox 360 to on those lonely nights. Not that I’ve ever done that.”
++ Jay Electronica featuring Diddy, ”Ghost of Christopher Wallace”
”The sickest beat of 2010? Maybe. Also, Diddy yells random stuff over the last three minutes. Can’t beat that.”
++ Duran Duran, ”The Chauffeur”
”Remembered how great this song was when I heard it in the excellent Noah Baumbach film Greenberg.”
++ LCD Soundsystem, ”All I Want”
”The new LCD album is probably my top album of 2010. If I wrote a song called ‘All I Want,’ it would be about how all I want are delicious tacos. This song is not about that, but I don’t hold it against it.”
++ Beach House, ”Lover of Mine”
”One of many beautiful slow jams from my other favorite album of 2010. Beach House are the indie-rock R. Kelly. (Kind of.)”
