It's safe to say that Peaches' new video for her song Rub is really not safe for viewing at work*

Featuring full frontal nudity, urination, sex acts, and more.

*even if you happen to work at a dick sucking factory

I had a really rough day yesterday but this cheered me up immeasurably when I finally got to watch it. I absolutely love Peaches and love that she is just pushing as far and as hard as she can with this new album and the accompanying videos.

This is fantastic.

It's kind of not my thing, at the same time, but I thought this was really fucking great.

There's something about American Puritanism that will probably have an apoplectic fit in light of this, but that aside - if you can put that aside (and if you can't that's something to think about, really, - the hell does the crazy body angst come from?) - it a pretty good song about loving pussy.

Just imagine how unfathomable this video would be for mileycyrus/madonna/take your pick. Which is also something. This isn't a show, a mask about sexysexynesses. This is it.

For all of that, this is fantastic.

Why do you regard this quote as relevant?

my favorite bit of the Peaches show I went to a while back, other than the part where she refused to play Fuck the Pain Away until people held up their phones to confirm that they had voted for her for a Canadian heritage award, was when her dancers came out wearing giant plush vulva costumes rigged to squirt at key moments in the song.

I'm pretty relaxed about watching this at work, I'm not sure its what I would want to get caught watching at home though.

oh and also the part where a huge translucent inflatable penis extruded from the stage out over the audience, at which point Peaches climbed into it and then crawled out over the audience, supported by the outstretched hands of her fans, who held up the giant dick and Peaches inside it.

basically I love Peaches.

I went to Spotify to look up Peaches and under "Fuck the Pain Away" it has an "Explicit" label. No shit.

I often wonder how wimpy I would have turned out if not for Peaches. And all the badass women of electroclash, really.
posted by JLovebomb at 1:20 PM on December 3, 2015 [1 favorite]


but like I know GWAR has good politics and everything, but there is a real meaningful distinction between what they do and what Peaches is doing. Whereas they're all about how we love to look at monsters doing terrible things to each other (some of those things involving violence, some involving sex-and-fluids-as-something-disgusting), Peaches is about how we're all ourselves wonderful monsters who love to do wonderful pleasurable dirty sexy things to each other. It's life-affirming as all getout. GWAR is about spectacle, Peaches is about participation.

also her music is much better.

Every time I think I may leave academia, I am reminded of Peaches' valuable teachings:
S I S I U D, stay in school cause it's the best
I U D S I S, stay in school cause it's the best
I U D S I S, stay in school cause it's the best
I U D S I S, stay in school cause it's the best
and then whenever anyone says I'd make more money in industry or whatever, I just tell 'em "huh what right uh."

I think it's weird to suggest this video would be "unfathomable" for Cyrus or Madonna. I think they'd get it immediately; it's just not the thing they're doing.

I'd also bet folding money that Cyrus is a Peaches fan, or is at least aware of her.

I've never been a big fan of the music, but her stage show and visuals are always off-the-charts delightful. Find and watch her movie Peaches Does Herself ASAP.

Not for me. I've always found Madonna's thing to be a performance of eroticism divorced from the pleasure of it. That's not a criticism, because the erotic has interesting aspects other than the pleasurable. But Peaches' work seems to me to have a genuinely hedonistic aspect that makes it more entertaining to me. It sounds and looks like fun, like it is actually the sort of thing that the artist is entertained, amused and aroused by. That makes it feel more organic, from my perspective.

If I were any more puritanical, I would have to sew buckles onto my shoes. I am prim, I am prudish, I blush at naughtiness in all its guises. So I am not the ideal audience for Peaches, never have been. But I am always so happy she is there. She's so exuberantly dirty. And open-handedly generous with that dirtiness. There will not be a more body-accepting video made this year, I am sure. So even though I have issues with her basslines and aesthetic and lyrics, she's just so goddamned pleased to be in the world, who can help but be delighted? Everyone should be able to be as free as her music demands us be.

However, I should mention that if you know the video for Fuck The Pain Away, and you also know that Andy Griffith is streaming on Netflix, you have some ready-made cognitive dissonance available.

I dunno, I feel this kinda exists in a parallel universe that American Puritanism doesn't care to know about? Peaches and Burning Man and Dore Alley and so on are too much effort to deal with, while Adam Lambert and Scandal and Starbucks are high-profile enough (and thus safe enough) to denigrate without exposing people to something actually sorta thrilling.

But maybe if this blows up, merkins will get popular again and we can exult in the wtfery of merkins.

Heh. I was thinking I was old because I was like, "Who wants to be naked and writhing in sand? It gets everywhere! I wouldn't even eat sandwiches off the ground without a blanket!"

I was just thinking how not-sexy-and-fun it would be to roll around naked in a sea of industrial abrasive.
