Interview: The Multi-Talented, Musically Obsessed 'Agendas'

In Los Angeles it's hard to cypher through the talented and the unfortunately talentless. Everyone claims to have the skills to make it to the big time, but let's be honest, in this day and age everyone thinks they can DJ. This is not the case for LA's newest young talent Agendas, who is a producer/ singer/ drummer/ guitarist/etc. The artist, formerly known as Jake Weary, has proven through his eclectic and exciting sound that he is a truly talented musician. Hailing from Montclair, New Jersey, Agendas has been working hard to produce top notch tunes. He released his self titled EP in April 2011. Yes, he is from New Jersey but before your mind wanders to the Jersey Shore buffoons, think twice, you won't be seeing a bundle of Bros obnoxiously fist pumping on the dance floor. This artist keeps his beats classy.

The Flaming Lips to Reinterpret Classic Pink Floyd Concept Album

The long-standing experimental rock band, The Flaming Lips, have a history of self induced genre reinterpretation, but their latest venture will effectively hit the proverbial nail on the head. On the cusp of their recently released thirteenth full-length studio album, Embryonic, Wayne Coyne and company have recorded their own rendition of the classic and near-perfect Pink Floyd concept album, Dark Side of the Moon. The reinterpretation will be released “in the near future” and will initially be an iTunes-only download before it is made available in record stores. The album is a collaboration with fellow Oklahoma natives Stardeath and the White Dwarf and features Henry Rollins recreating the spoken-word vocal tracks and controversial electro musician Peaches performing Clare Torry’s vocal expression on “The Great Gig in the Sky.”

Peaches
Genre: Electroclash
Website: www.peachesrocks.com

“Why do we call our mothers motherfuckers? Why do we stub our toe and say ‘Aww motherfucker!’? What is a motherfucker? We use it in our everyday language and it’s such an insanely intense word. Motherfucker is very mainstream. But if we’re going to use motherfucker, why don’t we use fatherfucker? I’m just trying to be even.”

Merrill “Peaches” Nisker, is a well known electroclash artist born in Toronto who now works and lives in Berlin. Her intense and shocking music hit the main club scene with her track “Fuck the Pain Away.” Always focused on sexuality and gender identity, Peaches is confident in her obscene language and vulgar imagery constantly blurring the line between male and female. She creates her own songs by playing all the instruments and creating her own electronic beats. Her music has been featured in movies like Mean Girls, My Little Eye, Lost in Translation, Waiting and Jackass: Number Two. Her songs can also be heard in Showtime’s The L Word. Her music has been studied as part of the Queer Studies course curriculum at the University of Toronto and has been invited to lecture at the Contemporary Music Academy in Berlin.
