I can't help myself. Peaches, the shock rocker, not the Swedish duo I just posted about, does something to me that compels me to write about her and those that she covers with little to no shame.

Like most casual fans, you may not be aware of one of Peaches best works.


Keine Melodien appeared on the bonus disc version of 2002's The Teaches of Peaches. It's dark and gloomy, with her sweetly poetic German vocalizations taking control on the verses. With a heavy chunked out guitar riff going in between verses, it's a much different sound than the electrorock you'd be accustomed to hearing from this artist.

What most diehard fans may not even know, is that the Peaches version is actually a COVER. Jeans Team, a German electro outfit, released the song on their 2000 album, Ding Dong. Covers don't detract my love of her. When something is done as impeccably as this, it only enhances the praise.

Also, check out this super early video she recorded for Jeans Team's album release party of Ding Dong. Nice haircut, Merrill Nisker.
