Bon Iver is totally a celebrity now, which means he gets to do things like make a celebrity iTunes playlist. Justin Vernon's playlist has some of the things you'd expect, including tracks from legends (Bob Dylan, Funkadelic) and collaborators (Kathleen Edwards, Colin Stetson). But there are a few serious left-turns in there too. Vernon's list also has songs from Bay Area cult rapper Andre Nickatina and Nashville-country baritone heartthrob Josh Turner. And perhaps most surprisingly, it also has Donna Lewis's gorgeously cheesed-out adult-contempo hit "I Love You Always Forever," which Vernon claims that he ripped off for Bon Iver's "Calgary." Check out the playlist below.
