The Teaches of Peaches is an album by Peaches, released in 2000 (see 2000 in music). It is her second album, but her first under the name Peaches. (Her debut album, Fancypants Hoodlum, was credited to her real name, Merrill Nisker.) Her indie-singer roommate Feist contributed vocals for the album.
On the album, Peaches combines elements of dance music, rock, humor, and casual sexuality in songs like "Fuck the Pain Away" and "AA XXX".
The song "Felix Partz" is named for Felix Partz, a Canadian artist who was associated with the arts collective General Idea.
In 2002, XL Recordings re-released the album and as well put out an "Expanded Edition" featuring a bonus disc.
The song "Fuck the Pain Away" appeared on the Jackass Number Two original soundtrack and was played during the segment in which Johnny Knoxville dressed up as an old man with a pair of fake testicles hanging from his shorts.
It also was part of the soundtrack for the movie Lost in Translation, starring Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson. A portion of the song played during the strip club scene. The official music video features Peaches superimposed in an episode of The Andy Griffith Show.
