\n\tTwo months after declaring herself \u201cGeese<\/a> curious,\u201d and one month after upgrading her status to \u201cGeese-blossoming-appreciation,\u201d Courtney Love<\/a> has taken the plunge into full-fledged, unapologetic Geese fandom by posting an acoustic cover of their recent single \u201cAu Pays du Cocaine\u201d on her Instagram account.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s an incomplete rendition that she sang with Baby Queen, a young singer-songwriter Love has been championing for months, and she still hasn\u2019t learned much of the song beyond the \u201cLike a sailor in a big green boat\/You can be free\/You can be free, just come home\u201d section, but her affection for the material is quite clear. (The Pomeranian nuzzled up to Love on a couch seems to be enjoying it too.)<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a March update, <\/a>Love said that Geese frontman Cameron Winter \u201csounds like a 600-year-old man \u2026 in the best way\u201d and that the group were like \u201cDaniel Johnston-meets-Rolling Stones.\u201d \u201cI want to talk a little bit about their fans,\u201d she said. \u201cTheir gatekeeping elder millennial troll fans. I love my trolls \u2026 but the Geese trolls are like another kettle of fish. I feel like it\u2019s 1990 and I\u2019m trying to impress Sonic Youth again. I\u2019m a cool old lady who likes a band, get off my back.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe wave of respect from Love comes at a pretty crazy time for Geese. After years of building buzz around their native New York City, they landed a spot on Saturday Night Live in January, a slot on the Coachella lineup, along with other major festivals around the world, and even accusations that their success was somehow due to a \u201cpsyop\u201d<\/a> by a social media marketing firm.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tIf the latter accusation is bothering Cameron Winter, he definitely didn\u2019t show it on April 15 when paparazzi captured him walking out of a Los Angeles restaurant with Olivia Rodrigo.<\/a> It\u2019s very possible this was merely a friendly meal between two musicians, but it sent both the Geese and Rodrigo fan communities into a frenzy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tLet\u2019s just hope Love doesn\u2019t hear about it. Back in 2021, she accused Rodrigo<\/a> of ripping off the cover of Hole\u2019s Live Through This in the artwork for her Sour Prom<\/a> concert film. If Love learns her new idol is canoodling with Rodrigo, she might downgrade herself back down to \u201cGeese-blossoming-appreciation\u201d or even just \u201cGeese-curious\u201d again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two months after declaring herself \u201cGeese curious,\u201d and one month after upgrading her status to \u201cGeese-blossoming-appreciation,\u201d Courtney Love…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":392927,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[113731,156,105987,157,111,139,69],"class_list":{"0":"post-392926","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-courtney-love","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-geese","11":"tag-music","12":"tag-new-zealand","13":"tag-newzealand","14":"tag-nz"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/392926","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=392926"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/392926\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/392927"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=392926"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=392926"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=392926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
