Nerd pride

The Whitest Boy Alive is based in Berlin and features Erlend Oye from Kings of Convenience. There's that European, almost-but-not-quite-native, slightly offset English and a poignancy you can only get when it's extremely cold and dark outside for much of the year. And what could be more practical and Northern European than fun with science? (Fun with science accompanied by a liter of vodka, but that's another story...)

Incidentally, you know you're a nerd when "the whitest boy alive" makes you wonder if there are degrees to albino-ness (I mean, doesn't the absence of any pigment mean that albinos are by definition all equally white?)
