Ten Questions with Faith and Disease
Mistress McCutchan
I really enjoy music, but it doesn’t necessarily mean I want to read about it. If you think band interviews/reviews are a tedious read, try writing one! I thought it would be much more interesting to gain insight on the people behind the music with just ten little questions, straight from the artists to you...
1) Chocolate or vanilla?
Dara Rosenwasser: Chocolate without a doubt!
Eric Cooley: depends; chocolate at night, vanilla in the morning.
Charlotte: chocolate!
2) Do you have any pets and what are they?
Dara: Not at the moment.
Eric: A grey cat, Seymoura, who is in a Foster Home.
Charlotte: a beautiful little half-siamese kitten named Koshka Marie
3) Favourite place to visit?
Dara: San Francisco for now, Europe where I have yet to go but will surely be smitten by!
Eric: Any body of water–either to swim or contemplate.
Charlotte: Prague...
4) Favourite article of clothing?
Dara: This is a hard one but I would have to say my black leather 70’s boots.
Eric: My vintage overcoats, my John Fleuvogs, and my Coil t-shirt.
Charlotte: ooh.. good question.. an indigo princess floor-length velvet dress of mine.
5) Favourite piece of art?
Dara: “LET” by an up and coming new artist by the name of Kyle Strand. On a more familiar note, anything by Julia Margaret Cameron.
Eric: John Waterhouse, Julia Margaret Cameron as well, John Millias. I also like Elvgren pin-up girls from the 40’s.
Charlotte: I’m all about the surreallists... Dali, of course, and Magritte
6) If you were a cartoon character, who would you be?
Dara: Tweetie Bird?
Eric: Casper, but not that friendly.
Charlotte: Who’s that naughty redhead in “Who framed Roger Rabbit?” That’s who, I think.
7) What are you most likely to be doing at 3 am?
Dara: Tossing and turning plagued by insomnia.
Eric: Dreaming of me.
Charlotte: Dreaming with a kitten curled up on my shoulder.
8) Age you lost your virginity?
Dara: 17
Eric: 17.. almost 18.
Charlotte: Yikes that’s personal! Let’s say a bit younger than my cohorts.
9) What piece of advice would you give to a teenager?
Dara: Don’t buy into the commercialism/consumerism of today’s world!Be yourself.
Eric: and at least try to see through all that consumerism that is so creepily being targeted your way by mass marketers. Boycott slave-labor retail stores like Gap, Old Navy, Nike, etc. Read up on how they get their labor so cheap and you will be repulsed.
Charlotte: Wear a condom. We have enough people on earth to last way too long.
10) What are you most proud of to date?
Dara: All of the music we have created.
Eric: Definitely...
Charlotte: of course F&D music... but also a performance art piece a college and i put together in the first half of 2000 called Fullness and the Space in Between. Original concept, staging, premier performance, and an original score for 10 voices and cello by me. Lots of work and great reward!
Faith and Disease is Eric Cooley, Dara Rosenwasser and Charlotte. You can hear some of their tracks on their mp3 page.
