Letters from Rosie, 7

Hello Jerry,

This is completely arbitrary, you understand.

Letters from Rosie, 6

Received another excellent, thought-provoking email from Rosie, partway inspired by my recent Tall Tales And True post.

Letters from Rosie, 5

So I wrote back to Rosie, following her previous email, stating that I wasn't sure that many of us have the constancy she claims on our behalf - that we all contradict ourselves and doubt ourselves and (speaking personally) sometimes wish we could be co-opted by the mainstream, but that it's long since occurred to me that the mainstream simply doesn't want to co-opt me. And so I'm forced to create alternatives, whether I want to or not.

This is what she wrote back.

Well, of course, since I posted this, my other featured correspondent got straight in touch...

Letters from Rosie, 3

The third in the series from my coolest correspondent. (Although I'm pretty chuffed at The Gossip saying they reckon me to be the "most important and interesting critic of all time" - I'd be even more chuffed if I believed they were being remotely serious.)

Incidentally, the criteria she's applying to Vampire Weekend - whose bassist once invited me to perform oral sex upon his penis, following this Village Voice column - I applied to The Vines a few years earlier.
