Well I liked it when they poured red wine on their heads then marched around proudly with big flags. If that isn't rockist audacity, I'm a sad little man with very little under the belt.

i like her production more than her lyrics/singing.
i like that she's wayyy sexual, even tho she's not very conventionally pretty. (sorry, but it's true.)

Thanks Lewis!

that cover is indeed pretty awesome, I can't stop staring at it for some reason, the Teen Wolf/Lincoln combo is strangely entrancing

She looks like Lou Reed. Which is surely a good thing.

Btw. if you guys had actually heard "Rosa Helikopter" by Peaches I doubt you'd have that much positive to say about them. :-)

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Sunday, 31 August 2003 15:03 (twenty years ago) link

I can't believe how angry Peaches makes me sometimes.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 31 August 2003 15:18 (twenty years ago) link

Btw. Just a description of "Rosa Helikopter". Imagine Aqua replacing Lene with a Swedish 11 year old girl and then releasing a song about a pink helicopter

This is a bad thing?

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Sunday, 31 August 2003 22:57 (twenty years ago) link

I've now listened to the album and it's very good. She's still got her unique "flow" and the sound is more varied yet at the same time from the exact same place. Also, the duet with Iggy is the best thing I've heard him do since Death in Vegas' "Aisha".

peaches is so sexless. how could anyone find it erotic/sexy? its not even dirty. its like having my old english teacher pulling down her pants and shouting 'fuck me'. what, am i meant to be turned on?

never trust women with beards

The album sucks as bad as the album cover

― Michael B, Monday, 1 September 2003 14:17 (twenty years ago) link

I could totally deal with a person just yelling "Fuck me" over and over. My problem is that her lyrics seem to be like a Burroughsian cut-up of porn phrases removed of any actual statement and repeated endlessly. I hesitate to call them lyrics cuz it's usually like three slogans. It's superficial and "abstract." All I know about Peaches is that her songs are endless and she's not afraid to say naughty things (which might be shocking if rap hadn't softened the blow; seriously where's the props for Roxanne Shante? She wasn't afraid to say where she was coming from!).

That one video arguably made a shocking statement by having her bikini waxing disappear. I guess some people might be shocked by hair on a woman. I guess.

"Like Blondie/Check out my Chrissy Be-Hynde/It's fine all of the time" is one of my favorite lines ever.

― Trish! (Arthur), Monday, 1 September 2003 18:08 (twenty years ago) link

...or "I.U.D. / S.I.S. / Stay in school / 'cos it's the best."

She's doing it for the kids, yo.

Next Peaches single: "Books...Check 'Em Out!" (or "The Cigarette Mash")
