I have to do this one soon since Skye is getting really good at repeating our wirds back to us, so the swearing is going to have to disappear from the house for a few years.... Anyway, there's a small link between Peaches and Kelis (and Björk) - Kelis and Björk had dressing rooms next door to each other for a show and Björk's copy of 'Fatherfucker' was skipping, so Kelis gave Björk her copy - and the next thing you know Kelis is working with Björk on 'Oceania'. See, Peaches music can bring people together in all sorts of ways......

For a while Merrill Nisker performed folk music at Toronto coffee shops, until one day she realised her heart wasn't in it... well it probably wasn't her heart given the pervading sexual themes of her music in the guise of Peaches. She pretty much recorded her first records using nothing more than a groove box to lay down minimalist bass and percussion, all the better to hear her lyrics, classy is not a word tha comes to mind. Anyway, this is the closest thing she has to an anthem, and anyone can sing the chorus, at least as well as Peaches.

In the interest of fairness I should disclose that I have a minor personal link with her manager, Janice used to be a bartender at the bar where I was resident DJ, and she gave me so many free drinks that it'd be hard for me not to like what she was promoting......
