Whiteside
Continued from Page 3
“I think I’m starting my life
backwards,” he said.
“I want to produce records for
other people professionally.”
Well, he is off to a good start.
Whiteside will be taking off for
London later this month to work
as an assistant in a studio where
Depeche Mode recorded within
the last eight months.
Because Whiteside’s musical
influences are primarily Eng
lish bands, the move holds
plenty of excitement and opens
doors for him.
Whiteside’s album Critics for
Friends has been described as
a fusion of pop, jazz and classi
cal. His album even contains a
few surprises.
One track, ‘‘1 Cannot Leave
the Table,” features Whiteside
reading a poem with piano mu
sic in the background.
“I wrote ‘1 Cannot Leave the
Table’ at 5 a.m. when 1 was up
studying for ct kinesiology test,”
he said.
"I liked the lyrics so much,
but I couldn't get any music to
go with it. 1 was listening to a
Frank Sinatra album where he
talks a lot, and I thought, T can
do that.’”
The album also carries more
than a hint of Whiteside’s Texas
A&M influence.
“Eighty percent of the songs on
the album werei
ology classes,” White;
“My degree wa5
