11/18/09 News briefs: Peaches vs Lady Gaga, Liam Gallagher, Hefner, The Velvet Underground and Nick Cave
Wednesday, November 18th, 2009
Peaches has taken a jab at Lady Gaga. In an interview with the A.V. Club, she responded to a question about Gaga ripping her off. “I’m not hating on her,” she said. “That’s cool for 12-year-olds, and when they turn 15, they find Peaches.” Ouch.
So, Liam Gallagher is going after a solo career now. After saying he was going to form a band with the members of Oasis who aren’t his brother, Liam is now seeing it as a solo career. He’s working hard too, telling MTV Italy, “After Christmas we might go in the studio and record it and hopefully have an album out in July.”
The singer of the late, great UK indie band Hefner was viciously mugged last Friday. Darren Hayman was left with a fractured skull after being attacked after a gig in Nottingham.
Members of The Velvet Underground will reunite on December 8th at the New York Public Library. Lou Reed, Maureen Tucker and Doug Yule won’t be playing live, but will be discussing their music and legacy with rock journalist David Fricke as part of the “LIVE from the NYPL” series.
And Nick Cave’s book The Death Of Bunny Munroe has been shortlisted for the annual Bad Sex Award, which the author who produces the worst description of a sex scene in a novel. What an honour!

Peaches Just made a Fu@$ing Dance Record!
Thursday, May 28th, 2009The teaches of Peaches always leave me feeling warm, fuzzy, and a little weird. But in a good way. I had the opportunity to chat with the electronic star recently about her latest album I Feel Cream, living in Berlin, and how one of Canada’s most original, talented and successful performance artists is still chasing the mainstream - actually, it’s chasing her.
I caught her packed show at The Phoenix and can’t remember the last time I saw an actual ROCK SHOW. It kicked my ASS. Complete with a full band, lasers, projections and scantily clad dancers mopping the stage up with long exaggerated blond wigs. It was easy to remember why she’s become such a musical phenomenon and also why someone like Kanye would would be the first to blog about her new videos.
Check out us talking about what defines SEXY (watch now!), how her music and confidence changes as she continues to grow (guess how old the Peach is?), her most strange celebrity photo op EVER (Mariah and the sweater song?) and how years of challenging steotypes and pushing all the right buttons has earned her a pioneering position in music.
Enjoy!
