_A
PEACHES HUNG UP ON ME!
By Aaron Monty
>From her home in Berlin, Frontiers snatched some time from disco-punk
superstar Merrill Nisker, aka Peaches, and asked her for her opinions on
music, politics, and places to eat in Laurel Canyon. She wanted to let
all the readers know that she offers up her condolences for the Arnie
situation.
Today is press day for you. What do you like most about press day?
Oh. Hmm. When theyre over. Sorry.
Where is a good place to eat in Laurel Canyon?
Four and Twenty. Do you know that place? Its like a diner.
What was your favorite thing to eat there?
Well, you know live in Berlin so I want to eat bacon and cheese and
sloppy eggs and stuff.
You wrote some songs with Greg Kurstin. How was that experience?
Thank you for asking about this. No one ever asks about anyone else, and
I wrote mostly with Greg. Hes fantastic. Hes like a genius, but hes
also liquid. So, if you have an idea for a song he can totally realize
it. We wrote some songs like in a day. It was so great. We also did
some extra Weird Al work together.
Weird Al?
Yeah, we made some Weird Al kind of parody songs.
What do you think of Bird and the Bee?
I think its really sweet. I like it. The remix of Fucking Boyfriend
is going to come out soon. Are people starting to know about Bird and
the Bee over there?
Whats the next level for Peaches?
Well, you know I got this level going on now with the live band and were
going to see whos with me. Then, well jump a level. Ive got a few
ideas and well see what happens. How non-committal of me, huh?
Are you ever going to be done exploring sexuality in your music?
I dont know. No matter what song I write people are going to see
sexuality in it. So, well see.
If you could have someone remix one of your songs, who would it be?
If I could get a remix for free, Id ask Missy Elliot. I also like
Timbaland.
What do you think of Vitalic?
Oh, I love Vitalic. I asked him to do a remix for me. He was on my five
top choices for sure. Do you like Simian? He remixed Downtown and I was
really happy about that. I really love it. I wanted Simian or Justice
or Vitalic or one of the regular greats.
What do you think of Meryl Streep?
She spells her name wrong.
Why didnt you put Hanky Code on the album?
This is a gay magazine, right? It just didnt fit in when I listened to
all the songs, but I love that song. Im sure people think, she didnt
put it on because its such a gay thing. It just didnt fit on. I put
it on the 12 inch. Im glad you like that song. I played it live on the
last tour.
Will you play it when you come to Los Angeles?
I might just do that.
Myspace. Do you know how many views your Myspace page has?
No. Do you know how many you have on yours?
If you had to name some of your heroes, who would they be?
(unintelligible) (loud noise) (silence) (dial tone)
(RECONNECTED)
I had to hang up and dial up my Myspace page to check how many views I had.
Tell me about your political endeavors.
Im a responsible Canadian and I just felt that I agree with no seal
clubbing. It was quite a clever campaign to say that the club scene
sucks in Canada. It was an easy thing to do rather than do what others
have done and not play Canada at all. That makes the whole country
suffer.
What do you like most about Whitey?
When they play Leave Them All Behind. Its one of their songs. Theyre
good. They should be known by now.
Who would win in a cage match between you and Princess Superstar?
Ooooh. Shes pretty big. I think shes got more muscle than me. She
doesnt drink so if I had a few drinks in me I might just win. I have
the secret Vulcan grip. Well, I think wed probably end up having a
hug-o-war not a tug-o-war.
Peaches plays the Avalon Hollywood with special guest Whitey on December
13 and 14th. Tickets are $23.50 and available through Ticketmaster.
