The Moldy Peaches
 

cant believe i havn't heard of these before, they are so good, defo guna be my band for this summer, wots everyone else think?

I heard one of their albums a few years ago

I wanted to throw it against a wall & stamp on it after 2 songs.

I like em. :)

The music is good. The vocals are shit, not even in a good way.

Yeah but they're so bad it has to be intentional. They're a fun band.

I used to confuse them with Super Furry Animals all the time, don't have a clue why... This was before i heard either of them... Now i realise that they don't sound anything alike.

They're funny. Would be funny to see them live!

i love them! they r what indie music is about, being different and mad, anybody else but you is the song i share with my boyfriend, its awesome:D

i don't think they're great and i doubt that one could listen to a whole album without going just a little crazy. i mean i like adam green's other stuff more i was surprised to hear that he was in the band.

yeah i guess its not a band i could listen to every day but if it comes on once every few months it makes me smile and laugh a bit...not really something that makes you think deep thoughts....

Personally, I love the moldy peaches. If im ever in a bad/sad mood they always tend to cheer me up. Plus you can listen to them in pretty much any situation and theyre still rad.

I think they were decent and that first album was a good, eclectic mix of different stuff but there lyrics are f***ing awful.

I saw Adam Green open for The Strokes in 2002, he was excellent.

It's not real serious music
It's silly
and somthing to sing
I mean i dont know how many times i'm just humming one of thier songs

I have a hard time listening to music like that... I guess I like epic lyrics like Bob Dylan or Zeppelin or something, oh well.

Thanks to Juno we have all of these people out there claiming to be huge Moldy Peaches/Sonic Youth fans...ughh.

I cannot stand them.

Heard 'em the first time when I saw Juno (fantastic movie, btw) and they are so... special. In a good way, though. They are really great.

sorry to resurrect a very old thread, but i'm seeing kimya dawson tonight in SF. i'm excited (:
i'm not a huge fan, but what i have heard of her, i liked. also, she's freaking adorable

Eugh. They're alright as a sort of novel angle on folk for a couple of listens, after which they quickly begin to grate. It's annoying, because Dawson and Green are both actually quite talented.

They're just a fad band at the end of the day, and this fad seemingly re-spawns every year as new, younger listeners stumble upon and them identify the whole thing as this statement of kooky individualisation for a year or so. I'm quite sure this applied to me at one stage in my late teens.
