Someone Might Have To Pinch The Moldy Peaches
The Juno Soundtrack took over #1 in the Billboard 200 this week, knocking out Alicia Keys, and selling 65,000 copies (thanks to all those Oscar nods). It’s the first #1 album that Rhino has ever had (am I the only one a bit surprised by this tidbit?), and the first soundtrack to reach #1 since last year’s Dreamgirls.
I was just thinking of how amusing this must be for a band like The Moldy Peaches, who were on my ‘Least Likely To Ever See #1 on Billboard’ list, right next to Sonic Youth (who are, coincidentally, now crossed off the list as well). The band’s songs “Anyone Else But You” and “Superstar” are featured on the soundtrack, respectively.
“Anyone Else But You” was nominated for an Oscar as well, but for it’s use in the documentary Muderball in 2006. The corky New York City folk band has written such favorites as “Downloading Porn With Davo,” and “Who’s Got The Crack.” Love it.
By the way, I got another Sonic Youth album…and it sucks.
It’s just noise!

Sonic Youth was just waiting for the right time to reach this sort of fame.
I mean, the mentions in Juno made it sound like they were the freaking Beatles!!
Perfect Title to your post btw.
