Nikki Reed talks music with Spin

Spin talked to Nikki Reed about music.

Name a song that you�ve listened to in the past 24 hours.

�She�s Only Happy in the Sun.� It�s nonstop Ben Harper in my apartment. My first boyfriend played me this song when I was 14 because my life back then was all about going to Venice Beach. Luckily, we didn�t have a bad breakup, so I don�t have any painful memories attached to the music.

On that note, what song do you associate with your first kiss?

D�Angelo�s �How Does It Feel� was playing at the time � in my head. Honestly, the most memorable make-out sessions I ever had were in [the 2003 movie] Thirteen. Those were hardcore.

Who would you like to portray in a rock biopic?

Rickie Lee Jones. Last year I went to see her at the Largo [in L.A.] on Valentine�s Day by myself. She seems eccentric. She started telling stories about her childhood, and I was thinking, �Oh, maybe this is the night when she wants to make this a personal experience.� But it turns out she does that all the time.

What�s the first album you bought with your own money?

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. I liked her in Sister Act 2. Also, I grew up in an area where I was a minority, so it was culturally diverse.

Do you have a go-to karaoke song?

I don�t drink, and karaoke is something you should only do drunk. But I�m obsessed with Adele. I put on �Chasing Pavements� and sing it in my apartment. The great thing about Adele is if you put her on top volume, you actually sound like her while you�re singing. I�ve gotten a few complaints from the neighbors.

What�s the most prized T-shirt in your collection?

[Friend and New Moon star] Kristen [Stewart] and I share a lot of clothes, so I wear a lot of Joan Jett shirts.

Kristen is playing her in a movie.

Yeah, Joan made replicas of the ones she used to wear in the �80s and gave them to us.

What�s the last concert you attended?

I saw the Dead Weather in Vancouver, where we�re shooting [the third Twilight film] Eclipse. I got really into Jack White two years ago because of my friend Sage. She quizzes me on rock music, asking me things like �Who�s your favorite Beatle?�

So who is your favorite Beatle?

I guess Paul McCartney. This is going to be a controversial thing to say, but I don�t really understand the Beatles. If Kristen were here right now, she would slap me across the face. Then again, if I ask her, �What�s the first line of Biggie�s �Juicy�?� she wouldn�t know. Why don�t people sit around and talk about Ol� Dirty Bastard the way they do the Beatles?
