Who the fuck does he look like, John Reis?

She was shown a ridiculous picture of you, CocoRosie, with your outlandish make-up and your hair having things stuck in it. She began to call decorative things in hair "Coco," after you.

She will occasionally make a soft monkey an object of her ridicule by clipping barrettes and little flower things and bows on it, in a fittingly overly-ornamented mockery of a dress-up monkey. While doing it, she says "Coco for monkey," among other taunts.

This makes me laugh in a perfect way.

so beautiful these thing. if for maybe think so beautiful of monkey to "freestyle" in "sign language":



for the deafs! so nice for monkey to "freestyle rap" for the deafs!

is also same as "making gesture of the pinching"! try!

Kids rule.

I kinda like the parts where one of them coos like Billie Holiday on a four-day tweakfest, but the random sound effects, the white-girl rappin' and the gratuitously vulgar lyrics sink this ship from the get-go.

It's not as bad as Steve says, but it's still pretty bad.

Ya know what's strange, though? There's this whole festering scene in Brooklyn right now, and apparently these girls are a part of it. Anyway, some of these bands I really dislike (Animal Collective, CocoRosie, et. al.), but some of 'em are really fuckin' cool (Black Dice, Gang Gang Dance, et. al.). Sometimes you just have to do the leg work and separate the wheat from the chaff. Sorta like how Load Records can't be called uniformly stellar, because though they put out great rekkids by Lightning Bolt and White Mice, they put out clunkers by Kites and Sightings.

In the end, there will always be the 3 or 4 amazing bands at the top of their game, the double-handful of interesting bands on their way up or down, and the absolute deluge of forgettable pabulum--of which Coco Rosie is an example. Right now we're in a sorta fallow period. The only band that is putting out consistently timeless records is Deerhoof--they dominate the competition, the way Black Dice did five years ago, the way the Jesus Lizard did 15 years ago, the way Sonic Youth did 20 years ago.

Possible suspects:

a) Yoko Ono
b) Shannon Wright
c) Beck
d) Loreena McKennitt
e) Gary Glitter

I'm a little stunned that someone would mention Shannon Wright in the same breath as CocoRosie.

Please not to be blaming Brooklyn for these Cocorosies.

Oh, my bad. I guess it's because they're always playing with bands like Coco Rosie and Black Dice, I got 'em mixed up.

I listened to the T&G e-Card.

CRAP.

We got a promo ep of the new album.....it's still in the shrinkwrap.

I thought about sending it to the marsup, then i thought to myself...
fuck that.
