I'm about two weeks late for Pride Month and about six weeks late for the Samantha Bee controversy, but today I address both, via a live in the KEXP studio three song set by Peaches, aka Merrill Beth Nisker.
Why?
1. Peaches is awesome, and her entire canon is a wickedly-clever blend of feminist, LGBTQ, and social commentary. Even though you've probably never heard of her, a scan of her guest appearances and remixes will establish her alt-cred.
2. The Peaches song "Boys Wanna Be Her" is used as the theme song for Samantha Bee's TV show "Full Frontal". Samantha Bee is also awesome, wickedly clever, fierce, and... I don't think she should have apologized. One word should not distract us from the larger message, but I suppose this leaves us with the other "c-word".
