Potent Quotables: Cox Comes Clean

"I was only in the public eye because I was annoying." --Bradford Cox

The notoriously verbose singer (Deerhunter, Atlas Sound) admitted that early press on himself was drama-fueled, the result of "being young."

I love this artist so much. It is funny to me that most of the comments here are "who is this guy?" I only found out about him recently. He is a real person, though. I doubt he'll ever read this but I'm sure you wouldn't talk mad **** about his physical features to his face. Music is a fair shot. I love the guy.

Bradford Cox is AMAZING! Deerhunter and Atlas Sound are both indie blessings in a time when "Top 40 Indie" has come into exsistance! You guys are all superficial losers! Going off looks instead of taking 1 little minute to actually google a song or two.

Tricia, People came because it's fun to read others comments and leave their own. And as far as giving your "advise" about listening to this guy (whoever he is) keep it.

You are looking at the man known as *Buffalo Bill* that inspired *Silence of the lambs*. How are you doing Clarisse

If you don't know who it is, why comment? I advise you to listen to Deerhunter and Atlas Sound, both in which Bradford Cox sings. They're very good.

Never heard of him and if he sings as bad as he looks he is no talent at all
