Peaches – “Boys Wanna Be Her” (YouTube)

I was not — I was not to post any more Peaches. Why? We’ve all made up our minds: love, hate, whatever.

But:

a) How hot are the Herms in the “Boys Wanna Be Her” video? Like, woah JD… or maybe I just have a weak spot for keytars and glam.

b) Tommie Sunshine is either a total hit or a total miss. Sometimes his remixes are just… watered down crap. Like, remember his remix of Da Brat’s “Boom”? Exactly. So I was little hesitant to play his remix of Peaches “Boys Wanna Be Her” because I didn’t want to hate it. But, but, but, but and but. His treatment of the guitars is everything I have ever wanted in a remix of a rock song. Perfect. He hit it. And then he totally surprises you with the drive by start/stop nausea towards the end… and pulls it off. And then! When you think all the surprises are out of the bag, he builds up Peaches vocals exploding them into a total aural orgasm. You forget this song is about Joan Jett… he makes it about Peaches. Hands down, Mr. Sunshine’s best remix to date.

Also before you forget, head over to Weird Sciences’ MySpace and stream their remix. Hot. The new vocals are smart in about fifty different ways.

    Agreed on Sunshine. Sometimes I think he goes into autopilot and just sends stuff out without even listening to it.

    totally right on about TS remixes – but what about his "Y Control" mix? i think that's still his best work…

    OK, am I just megalomanical here, or – did Peaches take inspiration from my Peaches/Gary Glitter mashup when she went to make this video? We chatted via MySpace – and she'd heard it, and loved it…ha, who knows? :)

    I love Tommie Sunshine. Can't wait for his full length next year.
