Flo had me at hello, but while doing a private performance at Radio 1, she revealed her love of Jamie xx, Drake and Rihanna just before covering the song all three of them collaborated on, “Take Care”. Flo’s got some swagga I didn’t see coming! Brilliant cover and shout out to the crossed eyes at 4:49!!
The last time I saw Peaches, she was performing in her mostly one-woman show, “Peaches Christ Superstar” and I left feeling a bit confused and let down. I’m not sure if I just hadn’t done enough research beforehand, but I was expecting the Peaches experience filled with giant dildos, neon lights, electronic beats and even bigger giant dildos. Suffice it to say, it was absolutely nothing like that and the guy who showed up wearing a dog costume and sat by himself in the row in front of us was probably more let down than I was.
The old Peaches seems to at least be back for a hot minute thanks to a collaboration with my favorite homoboy, Cazwell, on a track called, “Unzip Me”. The combination of rock riffs and electronic dance elements remind me of her track, “The Boys Wanna Be Her” (which got the hot ass Tommy Sunshine remix years ago).
A few things jumped out at me when I first watched this video, first of all, how fierce does Amanda Leopore look? Secondly, I’m kind of obsessed with the long white faux eyelash look.
I’ll be interviewing Peaches and Cazwell in the next few weeks so if you’ve got any questions you’d like me to throw in there, feel free to let me know!
I want to be swallowed up whole by this track and live inside of it like Jonah did inside the whale. Orchestral, Electro, Dub, intensely great music and beats.
Cute kids with aggressive bangs at play:
I’ve been a bad podcaster lately and for that I apologize. Life, ya know? Totally gets in the way a lot of the time. You may ask, “Mia, have you figured out what you want to be when you grow up since you’ve been ‘so busy’ with your time?”. Sadly, the answer is still no but only because there are even more things I want to do now than I did in the past. In fact, I’m pretty sure I can add “Super Sleuth” to possible future professions thanks to my desire to hunt down and kick the shit out of the assholes who have repeatedly used my stolen identity information to open up credit lines in my name regardless of there being fraud flags listed on my social security number. I’m fairly certain I’ve tracked one of the offenders down – now it’s up to the respective fraud agencies to see if they want to go after them.
This has also made me want to speak with someone in the government about doing a better job of protecting consumers. Considering the technology available these days, I find it very hard to believe it’s too difficult for any companies handing out credit to figure out whether someone is using a child’s social security number in order to get a credit card. I also think it’s ridiculous that grocery stores are able to scan your driver’s license to make sure it’s valid and you are of age, but other retailers don’t have the same scanners to ensure someone maxing out the credit card they just applied for is who they say they are. Who do I speak to about this?
Ok, I know, I’ll get off of my soap box for now and just give you the goods you’ve been patiently waiting for. Without further ado, here is week 4 version 3 of the Chubby Jones Couch to 5k Podcast (now brought to you in Soundcloud form, so just click the downward arrow to get it to your desktop):
