We took a break, but we're back with a vengence.
So, let's talk about Peaches.
She's definitely unique. A sex-postiive musician (and yes, this is her signature song) and performance artist, she was once roommates with Feist - and yes, they have collaborated, a lot. She reinterpreted Jesus Christ Superstar as a one-woman show (and it's beautiful).

She's also from Toronto, which is in Canada, and the 2nd t is silent. Go ahead, fight me on this. She started her career as a drama teacher at conservative Hebrew schools in Toronto - she also attended Jewish school as a child, for which she was bullied.
No one is bullying Peaches now.
Let's talk about this song, her best known and, yes, you've probably heard it - in The Handmaid's Tale on Hulu, the movie Lost In Translation, or maybe as Liz Lemon's ringtone on 30 Rock.
This song was released in September of 2000, and appears on her 2000 album Teaches of Peaches. Its original recording was not done in a studio. So, this 2022 recording from Full Frontal with Samantha Bee is just as credible as the one on record. No, we're not sure what the hell she's wearing.
Well, crap. That was age-restricted. It's worth the click to get to YouTube, though. Let's see if this 2009 performance of the song is any better.
Stay in school, 'cause it's the best.
