Never let it be said that Ivy League undergrads fail to heed their Teaches. The Harvard Lampoon has decided to induct electro-powered pioneer Peaches as an honorary member, adding her to a distinguished roster that includes James Brown, The Strokes and Aerosmith. We’re jealous.
Harvard’s comedy publication/NBC-writer-factory, the Lampoon has long bestowed honorary memberships on influential stars with funny bones. In a nutshell, the staff of the Lampoon want to get with Peaches, lay with Peaches, and so forth. Says the post on her blog:
“The members of the Lampoon staff are huge admirers of her career and will celebrate with her on December 7th at their Annual Canadian Synthpunk/Glam Rock Awards Dinner. The event will kick off with a public karaoke party on the steps of the Castle followed with a private induction ceremony inside the Castle to follow.”
It probably didn’t hurt that Peaches (birth name: Merrill Beth Nisker) just released her highest-charting album I Feel Cream just this year. (It debuted and peaked at #160 on the Billboard 200.) If you live around Cambridge, Mass. (or if you’re on this bus), we imagine you’ll want to hit the induction party next Monday. Who knows, maybe we’ll get lucky and certain Lampoon alumni will take more notice of her—come on, Conan, it’s not like you’ve had the most interesting guests lately.
You’re jealous?
What the hell? You think you should be inducted? Starting to wonder why you’re so hated around here. Jealous. Give me a break.
Replace “wonder” with “understand”.
Peaches is fucking talentless and boring. I liked her act better when they were called the Lords of Acid.
Was supposed to see NIN with Saul Williams opening but Trent got sick and postponed the show. When he came back around, Peaches opened instead. Great, instead of an extremely intelligent spoken-word artist trying new things with music we get a fat pale novelty act with some of the worst songs I’ve ever heard.
Thank you so much for this info I am previously performing a few of these suggestions but there are numerous additional which might be fresh to all of us!
