Kimya Dawson Speaks Out About Atlantis Commercial

She shares the following in today's MySpace bulletin: *I guess by now many of you have seen the silly commercial for the Atlantis resort. Sigh. Thanks for the outpouring of concern, but no we were not ripped off. No one is getting sued. I have always been very much against having my music in commercials. My solo music. With The Moldy Peaches it is tricky because it isn't just me. I do say no most of the time, but every once in awhile I have to be willing to compromise and be a group member and not a total control freak. A couple years ago we did that French cell phone commercial with all the soccer balls. This time I agreed to the resort going poor mans Weird Al version of 'Anyone Else But You'. I figured if I am going to be a team player I am going to feel least like beating myself up if the words and voice are not my own. It is just our melody. We were not involved in the rewrite. Anyway, dolphins schmolphins, it's done. I bought my parents a car. So it goes.* Download a Kimya tune at bottom.

The Moldy Peaches Plus Toothpaste Ad Equals

Adam Green tells NME: *“At least with ’Juno’, they asked our permission to use the song. Recently we’ve had music in adverts and people haven’t even asked. We had to hunt down lawyers in South America to sue toothpaste companies that have used songs of mine. The only reason we found out about the commercial was we started winning awards for best commercial of the year in Argentina. Friends of mine would come back and say ‘Hey, I was just on holiday in Chile and your song is on the TV and radio all the time!’.”*

Kimya Dawson Analyzes 'Juno' Soundtrack

The former Moldy Peach shares the following with Spinner regarding 'Anyone Else But You': *Me and Adam Green wrote this song sitting in Tompkins Square Park [in Manhattan], sitting on a bench. We didn't write it about each other. We both had other imaginary people in mind. Like our dream best friend/dates. We used to call our crushes "hippies." We would wander around NYC in the cold all night long looking for hippies. I guess this is kind of what we would have sung to our hippies if we ever found them. We didn't find hippies back then, but the song's still nice. I am nine years older than Adam, so he was still kind of a kid back then. It would have been gross if we were singing to each other. It is cute to see Juno and Bleeker sing it to each other, though. It feels right. It's a song for awkward kids. We're old hags now. Pass the torch.* Read more of her reflections here.
