From hip hop to indie rock, find out what track makes Jenkins dance in his kitchen, what tune he considers to be "a perfect soundtrack for deep, rich, satisfying sex" and more.
Hello, Stephan Jenkins here from Third Eye Blind. Here are some of my current listening habits. I just need to hear a track that moves me. I think my playlist can explain this better than I can -- hope you enjoy this.
10) Heartless Bastards, 'The Mountain'
My favorite singer since The Distillers.
9) Bon Iver: 'Skinny Love'
This is from last year and if you haven't let this cold, beautiful song sink into you, it's time.
8) Fat Freddy's Drop: 'Flashback'
A perfect soundtrack for deep, rich, satisfying sex.
7) Broken Social Scene: 'Anthems for a Seventeen-Year-Old Girl'
You can't turn this song off. It lures you in with its quiet, suspenseful sound and keeps you listening with that ticking-clock tempo.
6) Kid Cudi, 'Day 'N' Nite'
Great song to chill out to at the end of the day. I dance to it in my kitchen.
5) TV on the Radio, 'Love Dog'
The build-up in this song is fantastic. It starts and ends really softly, and still keeps this quality when the song blows up somewhere in the middle.
4) Beirut, 'Guyamas Sonora'
I have no idea what is influencing this group. It all feels so exotic and fresh.
3) MGMT, 'Kids'
This song is all over the place these days, but it still feels fresh.
2) Passion Pit, 'Little Secrets'
I love the whole album 'Manners' -- pure summer disco magic.
1) Yeah Yeah Yeahs, 'Hysteric'
Karen O knows how to freak freely, and oh how I need it.
