Peaches
Impeach my Bush
(XL)
Like the Dixie Chicks, Merrill “Peaches” Lisker isn’t ready to make nice with the free world’s biggest asshole. Although the Chicks wear Texan charm and Peaches prefers a strap-on, boil it down to its nasty core and the shock of Lisker’s music is on par with the southern trio. “I’d rather fuck who I want than kill who I am told to,” she throttles on the opening track “Fuck or Kill.” Indeed, war without a cause is a lot scarier than slippery dicks, soregasms and goin’ “downtown.” A celebration of personal freedom wrapped in a dick-be-damned collection of fantastic dance music, listen for ex-roommate Feist and the inimitable Joan Jett, killer on “Boys Wanna Be Her.”
