Death Cab and DeVotchKa Are Starbucks Sweethearts
Get a latte and a gift for your lovah.
So, we know the appropriate reaction to a mega-corporate music compilation set to be released just in time for Valentine's Day is something akin to, "Eff you, Fortune 500 bullies! Love doesn't come wrapped in plastic!"
But, really, we're kind of excited about the Sweetheart CD Starbucks is about to let loose on all us latte lovers. It's chock full of some great bands (DeVotchKa, Department of Eagles, Rogue Wave) and features covers of love-themed classics from The Cure, Buddy Holly, Bruce Springsteen, Billie Holiday and more.
