Bottom/ Livin' in the City (Sanctuary) is an album by the Fun Lovin' Criminals, released in 2005. This was very much a love letter to New York with many songs, just like in their debut album, extolling the virtues of the Big Apple. The title track itself has the repeated lyric "I love livin' in the city, give it up for New York City!". The Fun Lovin' Criminals are an American alternative rap / alternative rock group from New York City. Their musical style is eclectic, covering such styles as hip hop, rock, blues and jazz. Their songs are often gritty or existentialist in nature but are just as often humorous or satirical. Come Find Yourself, the band's first album, was released in 1995 by Capitol Records and included Scooby Snacks, the band's biggest hit single to date. It features samples from films by Quentin Tarantino, interspersed with rap verses and a sung, anthemic, chorus. The album is very New York-centric, including tracks about the L-train (Bombin' The L), Coney Island (Coney Island Girl) and Mafia crimelord John Gotti (King Of New York), with many smaller references in other songs. Top/ On her third album Impeach My Bush (Beggars XL, 2006), Peaches invites Joan Jett and one-time roommate Leslie Feist. Merrill Beth Nisker (born 1966 in Toronto, Ontario), better known as Peaches, is an electronica musician whose songs are concerned mainly with sex. Her songs have been featured in movies such as Mean Girls, Waiting..., Jackass Number Two, and Lost in Translation. Her music has also been featured on television shows such as Showtime's The L Word and Ugly Betty, and has been used for the promotion of Dirt. Peaches performed guest vocals on Pink's album Try This, and on the Chicks on Speed album 99 Cents, on the song "We Don't Play Guitars".
