Bio
.. .. .. .. .. .. .............. .. .. .. .. .. .. .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .. .. .. .. .. .... ........ .. ..There were no formerly heroic times, and there was no formerly pure generation. There is no one here but us chickens, and so it has always been: a people busy and powerful, knowledgable, ambivalent, important, fearful, and self-aware; a people who scheme, promote, deceive, and conquer; who pray for their loved ones, and long to flee misery and skip death. It is a weakeing and discoloring idea, that rustic people knew God personally once upon a time - or even knew selflessness or courage or literature - but that it is too late for us. In fact, the absolute is available to everyone in every age. There never was a more holy age than ours, and never a less. - Annie Dillard.... ........ ....Download a BRAND NEW song FOR FREE,..To commemorate Amanda's freedom from Roadrunner Records!..Also be sure that you ..read the blog.. which includes an open letter to the label..... ..................The Truth...........Amanda Palmer.......... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..........Download.. ..Share........ ..Download the debut album ..Evelyn Evelyn.. now.....Produced by and featuring AFP & Jason Webley!.. ..................Evelyn Evelyn........Evelyn Evelyn.......... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..........Download.. ..Share........ ..Download the ..Murder by Death.. & Amanda Palmer split single now!.. ..................7 Series (Part 3)........Murder by Death & AFP.......... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..........Download.. ..Share........ .... .."What's the Use of Won'drin'?"

Not as fun watching this shit at home on DVD - if you haven't seen this, you're not alive yet.....Find your local urban cinema if they still screen it, and go get your cherry popped. someday, I swear, I'll do a RHPS tour and open up for the movie, then spend the rest of the night throwing toast... .... .. .. .... ..Do not watch this movie unless you are prepared to be very upset for a few days.....Incredible film making, beautiful music, a heartbreaking story and commentary about the death penalty...and Björk. How can you resist?.. .... .. .. .. ....BOOKS...... .. .. .. .... ......The Omnivore's Dilemma:..A Natural History of Four Meals.... ..by Michael Pollan.. .. .... .... .... ......The Power of Now:..A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment...... by Eckhart Tolle.. .. .... .. .. .... .......... .. .... .. .. .... .......... .. .... .. .. .... ..Zoë Keating & I were both devouring this book on the last tour. In a very Bill Bryson-y way, Pollan does this genius thing where he takes information that might otherwise bore you to death (how the corn industry works, eh??) and makes it fucking FASCINATING. Basically, Pollan set out to trace four meals (one from McDonald's, one from Whole Foods, one from an organic farm and one he creates by hunting and forraging) back to their origins. This book is made of win, I didn't want it to end... .... .. .. .... ..I would recommend this book to anyone who interested in mindfulness and meditation (the idea, not the bullshit ritual) and doesn't want to read a bunch of woowoo new age or Buddhist books. Tolle is a great teacher and a great writer, he cuts to the essence of what Buddhism points to: the only way to escape suffering is to wake up to this moment. I've bought over 15 copies of this book and given them away in the past year since reading it... .... .. .. .. ....MUSIC...... .. .. .. .... ......Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea......PJ Harvey.. ...... .. .. .... .......... ...... .. .. .... ..I love much of PJ's work but this album is my favorite. I recently re-discovered it and it's even more fucking awesome than I remember.....All of her stuff is different: if you've tried dry or "..Rid of Me.." and it's too heavy for you, or if you're tried the newer stuff and it's too minimal/weird for you, try THIS. The production, the songwriting, the vocals, all of it are PJ at her fucking best. The woman is a Goddess... .... .. .... .. ..
Sounds Like
Punk Cabaret Is Freedom!.... .. "The social media queen of rock and roll.".. .... .. "More sophisticated than almost anyone on the internet -- musician, brand or otherwise...".. .... .. "A wild mix of rehearsed theatrics and bursts of spontaneity...a startlingly pure experience.".. .... .. "Riveting, powerful...hooky as hell".. .... .. "Dark and jubilant" .. .... .. "There's nothing about this album that is anything less than intriguing.".. .... .. "A melancholy masterpiece...Palmer deserves a standing ovation".. .... .. "Genius" .. .... .. "The album is a dark gem, a high-IQ song cycle that combines guilt, neurotic lust, and low self-esteem into piano-based tunes that come studded with lyrical daggers.".. .... .. "Who Killed Amanda Palmer is the ultimate exposition of the sounds that the Dresden Dolls have been perfecting for the last seven years.".. .... .. "Palmer weaves elegant and at times funny tales into gorgeously created music".. ........ .. "Amanda Palmer is not an artist, she's an art form." .. ........ .. "On top of the flawless production of Ben Folds -- this is proof that Palmer can go light years beyond piano and drums.".. .... .. "Palmer hits to the next level.".. .. ..
