Two of my all-time favorite artists, Peaches and Steve Earle. I really wish I could make it to the VIP lounge to drink vodka with Cindy and Peaches. I'm also very fond of Fischerspooner, although their second album was a disappointment compared to the amazing first release.
I will be giving a paper about Peaches (who I've met a couple times) at the annual meetings of the Canadian Anthropological Society (CASCA) in Montreal, on May 10. The title is "'Back It Up, Baby': Peaches Queers Straight Sex." I reviewed a 2001 Steve Earle concert in Fayetteville for PopMatters that you can read here. As for Bright Eyes, you can read about his blast against Bush on the Tonight Show here.
