Interviewed Monday on the Cincinnati radio station WIZF, US President Barack Obama ran through his iPod's contents, an eclectic and all-encompassing list of artists and tracks that reflect the varied coalition of voters he is seeking to attract.
Asked what was on the "presidential iPod", Obama replied that he had "a pretty good mix".
"I've got old school – Stevie Wonder, James Brown. I've got Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan," he said.
"And then I've got everything from Jay-Z, to Eminem, to the Fugees, to you name it. There's probably not a group that you play that I don't have on my iPod."
Obama added, "I've got some jazz – John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Gil Scott-Heron.
"You've got to mix it up. It just depends on what mood I'm in."
