Sellout Watch: Kimya Dawson?!?

Posted at: Wednesday, September 3, 2008, 3:46 pm

“Anyone Else But You,” the meditative Kimya Dawson love song that ended Juno on a bit of winsome emotion, is now the soundtrack for the Atlantis Resorts. Someone else is doing the singing, and the lyrics—quirky and poignant in the original—have been blanded out. Nothing at all about “You shook a little poop out of the bottom of your pants.”

    That is not a “Kimya Dawson song”. It is a Moldy Peaches song. The Moldy Peaches are not just me. Adam Green and myself co-wrote all of the MP stuff and therefore it is Adam Green and I who make the decisions together. He is a self declared sellout who loves doing ads. I hate it from the pit of my soul. But he begged me to say yes occasionally. If figured that the way that would least make me want to die would be if it wasn’t my words or voice. So I agreed to Atlantis. Thanks for caring. You will not here my solo stuff in any commercials. That is the only stuff I have total control over. Well, I did write one jingle. For cloth diapers.
