Peaches

Bowen and Matt talk about their experiences in Berlin, trying to get into Berghain, the lack of buffalo sauce, and the debate over Usher as Super Bowl headliner. They then welcome Peaches to discuss the origin of 'Fuck The Pain Away', crowdsurfing, taboo topics in pop music, and what makes a hole forgettable. They also touch on museum culture, straight men in groups, and restaurant acoustics.

Peaches is a musician, producer, and performance artist. She’s released six albums and in 2015, she won the Polaris Heritage Music Prize. Her fourth album, Impeach My Bush, came out in 2006, and features the song “Boys Wanna Be Her.” She produced the song with Mickey Petralia, whose other production credits include Beck, Ladytron, and Flight of the Conchords. “Boys Wanna Be Her” has become kind of an anthem since it came out. It’s been used in a lot of film and tv. To name just a couple examples, it was in the season 2 finale of ‘The Boys,’ and it’s the theme song for ‘Full Frontal with Samantha Bee.’ In this episode, Peaches tells the story of what inspired the song originally, and how she made it, with a few thoughts from Mickey Petralia. Peaches will be on tour throughout 2022. Visit teachesofpeaches.com for tickets. For more info, visit songexploder.net/peaches
