goth of love

radar, the coolest magazine out there, has an interview w/ my favorite vocalist eva, sioux.

some snippets:

on this lame business of high-fasion rock star decadence:

What do you make of the modern rock star look in the era of the stylist? You managed to pull yourself together quite well in your day. They aren't exciting, are they? It's because the same high-priced stylist does all of them! I don't need one, thanks. It makes me feel cheated because I want to see what that personality would choose to wear, how they'd do their hair. They all have the uniform look with none of the attitude. It's a little Stepford Pop Star out there.

on ashlee simpson:

Who is Ashlee Simpson?

on ashlee's musical soulmate, that tubby embarrassment/parody robert smith:

. . . I mean, darling, really, do you own a mirror?

and gosh, interpol, lcd soundsystem, the white stripes, the yeah yeah yeahs, the klaxons, the rapture, etc. must all be breathing a sigh of relief b/c you could never apply the following to them, could you?

There's way too much retrospective going on all over the place. Stop looking backwards. Remakes of films, like The Omen and Halloween. Have you really run out of ideas? Imagination costs nothing. It's free and anyone can do it. It's the same with having someone style you. I mean, use your bloody head. That's the fun of it!

and finally:

. . . Would you wanna do Goth of Love?
Ewww, God, no!


shit, foiled again! i'd dress up in facepaint and brave a room full of obnoxious peter murphy wannabes just to have a night w/ sioux. wouldn't you? she only has one of the best voices in recorded music and is surly as hell-- what's not to love?
