The Whitest Boy Alive - Burning

----------------Friends, romans, countrymen - lend me your ears! I have come to proclaim a new website introduced to me - 8Tracks.com. To put it simply, you create a mix of eight songs or roughly 30 minutes of music and you share and compare with others. My friend Nicki created a mix that included The Whitest Boy Alive, a group based in Berlin led by Erlend Oye. Imagine The Strokes and Beck making passionate yet mellow love and concieving a subtly funky babe wrapped in swaddling yet trendy clothes. Open up a door to The Whitest Boy Alive 2006 self-titled album, and create your own tracklist on 8Tracks.

Beck - Think I'm in Love

-------------On one random evening after watching The Devil Wears Prada (Meryll Streep = an acting deity), I felt the urge to research the music that fashion designers crave more than a tent at Bryant Park. Music and fashion are the perfect couple - the chic and melodic Bonnie and Clyde. Among the technotronic Shiny Toy Guns and the advant garde alternative, there lies the simplistic and romantic "Think I'm in Love" by Beck.

While its tentative instrumentals and softened vocals may seem unusual on the catwalk, the understated elegance of Beck's quiet symphony make it a staple for any designer's collection. Get "Think I'm in Love" from Beck's The Information.
