But I also agree full heartedly with Maura here, otherwise.

It must be a hard life to feel so compelled by wealth and mediocrity to defy convention in such meaningless ways. Maybe joining the Army, as one suggested, would have been a more revolutionary way to get on “the rollercoaster”.

I can’t confess to having listened to a full CocoRosie album, and now if I did I’d just be determined to hate it to reinforce my opinion. So I’ll save myself the trouble!

While Cocorosie’s quotes in the interview deserve all the snark in the world, I’m surprised the sycophantic, boring, stupid, etc. writing by Ms. Eberstatd isn’t getting more hate in these comments.

sorry for calling you out, that term is just a pet peeve of mine that’s gotten considerably more irritating over the past few days. it’s the ‘random’ of 2008!

@sicksteanein: and idiotic.

CocoRosie are ALWAYS on a fresh tip musically. The juxtaposition of beautiful and ugly in their music (and style) is unsettling and obviously polarizing but I guarantee most people who've commented today haven't spent time with a full album or a live performance. Folks are quick to jump on the haterade bandwagon with these girls and that gets under MY skin, damn.</p> Ya’ll are karazee man! CocoRosie are ALWAYS on a fresh tip musically.
