Well while we're on the topic of Juno... Funny story really (ok, typically tedious, but I gotta make it look like I put in the effort, you know?) - while skipping through Ukemeister Afton's latest youtube efforts I came accross one for Anything Else But You. Like the uninformed social recluse I am, I had no idea what was on the Juno soundtrack, and made a comment much ruder than it sounded along the lines of "Moldy Peaches did a much better version of this..." not having realised that the afton was in fact just doing her usual thouroughly thought through bastardised cover of the actual moldy peaches track. So I looked like a twat. Again. But hey, who was I to know that a film released last christmas would use the tracks of a band whom as far as I knew released their last material some time around 2003 while I was still in college, and broke up shortly thereafter? Even more shocking was seeing Kimya playing at film premiers, and her name spoken by non other than Mr WHM himself. I guess they ain't dead. So, now that I look like I've done something useful....
The Moldy Peaches. Circa 2003 and apparently 2008. Consisting of 5+ nutters (I never figured it out...), originating in NYC and playing something known as Anti-Folk. I've included County Fair, an old single, and Nothing Came Out, one of Kimya's sadder solo efforts. And I feel I need say no more as the below pic vid pretty much does all the talking. You know, I once promised to go to my first Crimea gig dressed similarly to Adam... And I'm told both Kimya and Adam's solo albums are extremely good.
