Either works, I'm just wondering.

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.

It's difficult to believe that anybody is really that eccentric when they've quite clearly spent a great deal of time pondering over and then contextualising their own behaviour. Free spirits indeed.

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!

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".

My point, not well written or even spelled out (sorry!), is that there are plenty of dolts out there making fantastic music. I don't know why it's such a hot topic when it comes to CocoRosie. As a person who enjoys their music immensely, I get SO TIRED of the backlash. I actually enjoyed the story in the Times and even laughed out loud some. They are crazy b's no matter how you paint it.

Lastly -There's plenty of idiotic and redundant comments here besides my usage of haterade. Let's try ART SCHOOL DROP OUTS for one. Insert (www.sadtrombone.com).

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.

@jackieo: actually, i've listened to all 3 of their albums (i even kinda like the first one) and have seen them live. that's not the fucking point. their new record could be the most amazing record of 2008, it still wouldn't change the fact that they come off in interviews as ignorant, racist, classist, self-absorbed, art school dropout shit for brains.

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.

"We're not boring rich white girls if we dress kooky, right?" I want to say "no," but the NYT Mag screams "yes."

And really, that is the main problem with them: their music is fucking boring as shit.

The Rush Limbaugh article was more interesting, and that's not saying much.

Actually just their music.

I thought this band would dissapear, given that everyone seemed to hate their last album, but here we are.

They said it would destroy my creativity. They were so right."

This, by the way, is the key to the whole article. Pulp's "Common People" was written exactly for such people (although the girl in "Common People" apparently made it to college).
