tommydski's statement is fucking stupid, so in my eyes agreeing with such a stupid fucking statement makes you fucking stupid as well.
It's something a real annoying fidgety asshole college kid with messy hair would say at a party to some ugly chick he isn't even attempting to fuck...he's just talking at her trying to sound intelligent or cultured or I don't know, gay.

Did he lose a bet or something?

I'll hypothesize the mundane: He thought Cocorosie could sell records. That's it.

Whatever his reasons, I'll bet my house against a donut that wasn't one of them.

With or without sprinkles?

Anyway, I don't think there's some deep explanation for "why" Cocorosie are on T&G. The other mundane (and probable) explanation is that Corey just happens to like what Cocoroise do, or at least finds them interesting to a degree that warrants the effort to put out their records.

Taste is a funny thing. Get five people in a room, all of whom like the same ten given bands on T&G or any other label. Each of these people, united as they appear to be in their normative assumptions about music, will also have a fondess for some artist that the other four dislike, and possibly even detest. "Why" this it the case is something that can't easily be explained or theorized. Call it the case of the fifth dentist.

I think that might have been me...you should come to Madison before summer 'Soop (that's time best spent in Chicago, not Madison)...we can impress fat hipster chicks together.

- "Pssh, yeah, more like THE GAY PIXIES."
- "Pssh, yeah, more like the HOLD MY COCK STEADY."
- "Pssh, yeah, more like the GAYCEMBERISTS."

Good times will be had...homosexual slurs pertaining to bands I don't like will be uttered...

I've been to Madison on several occasions and I feel confident in saying that there are no bad looking women in all of Madison, some foxy mamas up that way.

If the kid starts beatboxing or rapping in French, well, he had it coming.

Damn - so far, that definitely has to be the most vividly accurate verbal description of that particular caterwauling what hit my ears last September at T&G25...

so we are all pretty much in agreement then?
NOT CRAP.
There, done and done.

I voted NOT CRAP too.
I don't hate it so I can't justify calling it CRAP. It's okay music.

I stand by my earlier comments though. I don't know why it would detract from your enjoyment of this band. That is immediately what came to mind when I heard their music. I'm not saying that to annoy or appease anyone.
