S9E8 - Canada Part II 🇨🇦 Grimes (Overrated) and Peaches (Underrated)
Episode 8
Tuesday, 2 December, 2025
We're back in North America discussing two Canadian music pioneers...These days, Grimes is unfortunately better known by her, er, associations than her music, so we tried to put her personal history aside - as best we could - and focus on her wide-ranging back catalogue. As often happens, we also talk about the complexities of separating the art from the artist...And Babs chose Peaches as an underrated artist because she feels that most people know her only from her biggest hit - it's clear that Peaches has many more arguably underrated bangers. Will Fran agree?For further viewing/listening, we recommend Peaches' very NSFW and funny video for Rub and Grimes' 2012 hypnotic KEXP set.You can find the playlist for this episode on Spotify - it includes all the songs from our playlists, plus bonus songs from other artists we've discussed during the episode.Download, review, subscribe and get in touch - especially if you have any suggestions for future themes or musicians to discuss.
