I first heard of CocoRosie when Patrick Wolf started playing violin for all their live shows.Of course he also supported them on his European tour a year and a half ago.I saw a video of them playing live on a couch.One girl played a gazoo and a harp and the over sang and pressed the buttons on some toddler's video game to compose electronics.Their voices aren't very conventional but for some reason their sound is so serene.The lyrics are sooooo amazing."By Your Side" is one of those songs that really makes you feel like you're in love.They didn't start out as musicians.They started out by dressing up the in most glamorous/strangest outfits and drenching their faces in make up.They got completely wasted and ran around a track at 3 in the morning.They did this almost every day.Why?Becasue they're French.But it's pretty magical when something starts out so ironic and ends in music.I know alot of people won't like them.They're lyrics are really good and remind me of a friend in some cases."Terrible Angels" is my favorite song by them.CocoRosie's uniqueness just astounds me.
If you don't like the music atleast appreciate the cover art:
Can anyone help me find a book?I want Picture Of Daddy-Thelma's Story by Thelma Ásdísardóttir.It's an Icelandic book about a woman dealing with sexual and emotional abuse.It's supposed to be life changing.She won "Woman Of The Year" for her writings.The book is an autobiography.I can't find it anywhere though.

The Soho Dolls could be amazing if they weren't so queer.I like some parts of their songs but some if just too weird for me.Download "Stripper" by them.its good.
