Peaches

I don't like Peaches. I find her annoying and abrasive. She certainly is NOT as cool or transgressive as she thinks she is.

However, she has covered a song that is so good, even she could not mess it up. I'm talking about "Gay Bar" by the Electric Six.

Download: "Gay Bar (Electric Six Cover)" (mp3)
