I love checking out new music/artists. I've been hearing a lot about this female rocker lately. Anyone familar with her music? Is she any good?

"....Peaches is obsessed with sex, at least from the sound of things. Her first album, 2000's "The Teaches of Peaches," staked out the musician's sound and philosophy with lo-fi disco manifestos like "7/8Expletive1/3 the Pain Away." "I like the innocent type/deer in the headlights," she rapped on "AA XXX." Objectifying men is one of Peaches' favorite lyrical pastimes, and not because she's a lusty dominatrix.

"I write about power roles and a lot of it is based around sex," she explains. "Religion is based around sex, around abstinence and rules. Either you're blessed with 70 virgins or you're not allowed to have sex until you get married. It's brainwashing, and I just try to sing about it as a way for people to realize that it shouldn't be such a big deal."

The title of Peaches' second album can't be printed in this newspaper (even with the help of brackets): it's a gender-related twist on a one-word derogatory term that invokes mothers, and the album cover features a photo of Peaches in a thick, flowing beard. The disc's opening track, "I Don't Give A...," loops Joan Jett's "Bad Reputation," and Jett returned the favor by contributing guitar and vocals to a track on Peaches' new album. Jett's not the only surprise guest. While both of Peaches' first two projects were one-woman booty fests, made almost exclusively with a Roland MC505 groove box, "Impeach My Bush" is a veritable musical orgy..."

I get the feeling that originality is considered passe in some circles these days.

I've listened to it, some of her songs are good ("fuck the pain away") but they get annoying pretty quickly.

She is ok, I prefer Distillers and Dresden Dolls. There are a million better female rock singer than her. She is the only one who tell interviewers that she loves using strap-ons on though. Which you have to respect in todays media.
