Peaches Geldof was *not* the musician Peaches? Well, that explains that.

The corniest songs of 1999 poll was won by LFO, who I always thought were a British bleep techno band from the 90's, so I'm thinking how corny could that song be, really? I only just now learned that there are actually two LFO's, and one of them is an american boy band.

I saw one of these bands perform once. I *still* have no idea which one it was.

Dirty Projectors and New Pornographers, not remotely similar - I think it's something to do with a New Pornographers' album having a projector on the cover?

Diry Projectors / Fiery Furnaces / Magic Numbers - no idea what these are or what distinguishes them and herein revel in the ignorance. New Pornographers at least sound like they are multiple humans.

It's not that I'm against non human things, just that I wouldn't confuse New Prnographers with the others, and also I happen to be more aware of what they do.
