Impeach My Bush is the fourth studio album by Canadian singer Peaches, released on July 7, 2006 by XL Recordings. The album includes guest appearances by Joan Jett, Beth Ditto, Josh Homme, Samantha Maloney, Mocky and her one-time roommate Feist.
Early sessions of Impeach My Bush were recorded at Peaches' Berlin studio with Eagles of Death Metal singer Jesse "The Devil" Hughes. She finished recording the album with producers Mickey Petralia [1] and Greg Kurstin at Jeff Porcaro's (Toto) self-built studio in Los Angeles. [2]
The album draws from glam rock, punk, and electro. [3] Lyrically, Impeach My Bush continues the explicit references, double entendres, and gender politics of Peaches' two previous albums. "Two Guys (For Every Girl)" deals with threesomes while "Rock the Shocker" centers on foreplay. [4] "Stick It to the Pimp" is a backlash against hip hop chauvinism. [5]
Peaches formed the Herms (short for hermaphrodites) in early 2006 as her live backing band. Herms members included Samantha Maloney (Hole), [6] JD Samson (Le Tigre), [7] and Radio Sloan. [2] "Herms" is a reference to the 1970s duo Peaches & Herb and blending of words her and him. Peaches and Herms were the opening act for Nine Inch Nails and Bauhaus during the second half of their 2006 summer US tour. Peaches and Herms also toured as part of the Australian festival Big Day Out [8] and the 2007 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. [2]
"Do Ya" was used in the Gap clothing commercials for the fall 2006 season. [9] "Do Ya" also appeared in the 2006 horror film All the Boys Love Mandy Lane . In addition, "You Love It" was played at the ending of the CSI: NY season three episode "Oedipus Hex" on October 18, 2006, and "Tent in Your Pants" was used in the 2007 comedy film Young People Fucking . [10] On April 13, 2007, Peaches appeared on the season two premiere of The Henry Rollins Show , where she performed the song "Hit It Hard". [11]
Peaches directed a music video for "Get It", which debuted on May 7, 2008 as part of the third season of SHOWstudio.com's series of fashion films titled Political Fashion, which was developed by British director Nick Knight. [12] In 2013, the song "Downtown" was used in a commercial to promote Downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. [13]
"Downtown" was released as the album's lead single on July 3, 2006. [14] It received positive reviews for its disco sound and sexual lyrics. [4] [15] The single peaked at number 50 on the UK Singles Chart. [16] "Boys Wanna Be Her" was released as the second and final single on November 6, 2006.

Get Born is the debut studio album by Australian rock band Jet. It was released on 14 September 2003 and has sold over 4 million copies worldwide. The album includes Jet's most popular song, "Are You Gonna Be My Girl".
American Idiot is the seventh studio album by the American rock band Green Day, released on September 21, 2004, by Reprise Records. As with their previous four albums, it was produced by Rob Cavallo in collaboration with the group. Recording sessions for American Idiot took place at Studio 880 in Oakland and Ocean Way Recording in Hollywood, both in California, between 2003 and 2004. A concept album, dubbed a "punk rock opera" by the band members, American Idiot follows the story of Jesus of Suburbia, a lower-middle-class American adolescent anti-hero. The album expresses the disillusionment and dissent of a generation that came of age in a period shaped by tumultuous events such as 9/11 and the Iraq War. In order to accomplish this, the band used unconventional techniques for themselves, including transitions between connected songs and some long, chaptered, creative compositions presenting the album themes.

It contains several lyrical themes, most notably Eminem's opposition to then-US president George W. Bush and parodies of Michael Jackson, and features more comedic themes and lyrics than his previous albums.
