OTM, but since I usually only talk about crap on the Internet all day, that's basically how I deal with EVERYTHING, not just race. haha

I don't choose to 'muck in and deal with it' because arguing on ILM is futile to me. Not because I'm trying to put myself above the whole arguement, but because often you guys' opinions are so far from my reality that it would be pointless to engage with you on this whole Cocoracist issue. I just cut out the middle man and agree that we disagree. It saves time and a helluva lot of frustration.

they're half-Cherokee, aren't they?
just to respond to this, it seems like whenver a white person wants to claim some ethnicity, their grandmother or great grandmother was conveniently a Cherokee princess. So unless they have certificates issued by the BIA, or are tribal members, I'd ignore it.

I have learned that I guess you shouldn't tell someone Coco Rosie is racist at a Halloween party because apparently you will make them cry very hard.

Seconded. Super grate nabiscos up above. Except when I lived in NY, 5th and Bedford really did give me the hives.

With any luck, CocoRosie's album will tank as ethically-savvy music fans refuse to buy it and educate their friends; "Cool" record shops will refuse to stock or sell their records, and tell their customers why. After disappointing sales, their label will dump them and they'll be exiled as pariahs, with as much chance of selling records as Gary Glitter. Then anybody else who thinks it's "cool" to be ironically racist will have the burnt-out wreckage of CocoRosie's career and credibility to behold as proof otherwise.
Alternatively, they'll take the hint, become even more hipsterishly abrasive and sell lots of records to the skull-attired coke-snorting nihilists who think that giving a fuck about issues is gay.

Heady times, man
Grey Oceans by CocoRosie shows us a sliver of a secret ocean of high waves we wish to be part of in our dreams. CocoRosie is the shower we need now in the musical desert. - Yoko Ono
They seemed to deal with race as just that, an issue. not like fake Ivy League Afropop ri- off assholes who are, as their wealthy grandparents before them, plundering race without any consideration for the implications. Coco race dives into race in a way that — as I said — scares me. Scares me because it is so insane and so bold and it is also respectful and feels true. - Jamie Stewart, Xiu Xiu
etc.

after listening to another 10 songs or so, i have to say i'm a little surprised this band has taken up anyone's attention much at all

you're forgetting that the inferior Dirty Projectors took up even more attention last year
― mdskltr (blueski), Monday, 21 June 2010 16:45 (thirteen years ago) link
I only know one Dirty Projectors song, and based on that song I find it categorically impossible to believe that there exists a person who would like CocoRosie more
― HI DERE, Monday, 21 June 2010 16:46 (thirteen years ago) link
