Amy Poehler

What have you been listening to lately?
My new jam is Amy Miles. She's a singer/songwriter from New York with an album called King of Girls. She looks like Uma Thurman and sings like Liz Phair.

What cheers you up?
Justin Timberlake's FutureSex/LoveSounds. I have to support my boyfriend's music--and my husband has no problem with that. "What Goes Around..." is an instant classic. It sounds like Al Green.

What's the best music city you've lived in?
Chicago. I lived there in the early '90s, and it was an amazing place to see music. You'd go to the bar, and Liz Phair and Urge Overkill would be buying pints together. I was so poor, but the music was so great. The venues in New York can be a little rough on Shorty McGee here. Plus, when I fly in with my gold helicopter and go into my glass-encased VIP section, my chicken wings are never ready.

What's the best performance you've seen during your time on SNL?
I've never been a big Bruce Springsteen fan, but watching him soundcheck with his band was truly amazing. It as like watching somebody blow glass--it's magic. KYLE ANDERSON

Spring Breakdown is in theaters April 13.
