iTUNES CELEBRITY PLAYLISTS: Still an odd duck. Apple has let celebrities of various talents share their own music mixes with the general public since October 2003.

I'm traveling today, so I cannot see what from the print version did not make it online. I'll be sure to update you. By the way, Scott, it wasn't my idea to write "Someone on the Stereogum blog." That was an editor. Just so you know. And your play-by-play of the Lionel Richie "Hello" video, hee-haw-hilarious.
