Adam Green

Adam Green of The Moldy Peaches made his comeback by appearing on the Juno soundtrack with his other half Kimya Dawson. They wrote that sacchrine-sweet song that Ellen Page and Michael Cera's characters sing to each other in the last scene, "Anyone Else But You." He answered some questions for the Gothamist blog, reminiscing about the Lower East Side, discussing his new album and telling his "only in New York story" in which a young kid tried to pay him to have sex with him.  read more »

So there's no way Adam Green could have known that, when asked by director Jason Reitman what music her character ought to listen to, Juno star Ellen Page would reply "The Moldy Peaches" faster than you can say "homeskillet."

And there's no way Mr. Green could have known the film would become such a runaway success, or that a tune by his old band, the Moldy Peaches, featured prominently therein would become one of iTunes' hottest downloads, or that the soundtrack would rocket to the top of the Billboard 200, or that he'd end up reuniting with ex-band mate Kimya Dawson after a four-year hiatus to perform their old songs in front of the ladies on The View, or that thousands of teens across the country would record their own cover versions of Juno's unofficial theme "Anyone Else But You," and then load them up on YouTube.  read more »

Since The Daily Show with Jon Stewart doesn't quite spoof New York politics often enough, Room 8 launched a daily video segment called Lunch Box, featuring some guy named Adam Green.

Green sounds like an equal offender and gets the tone of most of the conversations I imagine are taking place in a lot of other newsrooms.

First, Green (no relation to Mark) compared Andrew Cuomo's endorsement by Charlie King and the New York Post to his own endorsement of a chocolate doughnut. "It stood up to whitey the other day in the projects. It got moxie."

Then, when discussing Jonathan Tasin's latest video ads, Green says:

"We're sorry you don't have the coffers to run a regular promo on the radio, but this little bit of craziness is one crotch-kick away from being the all-time state university frat drinking game."
