The newly freed Amanda Palmer releases today her first official venture out since splitting with Road Runner Records a few months ago. The title of the EP is Amanda Palmer Performs The Popular Hits Of Radiohead On Her Magical Ukulele and is exactly what it says it is. There are a few occasions where Palmer [...]
Amanda Palmer to Release Ukulele Based Radiohead Cover Album
Still riding the high of being released from Roadrunner Records, Amanda Palmer is using her new found freedom to the best of her ability and is releasing a Radiohead cover album with each song being performed on her ukulele with accompaniment from a toy piano which will be released on July 17th. The album will [...]
“please stop reading and throw ‘plainsong’ from ‘disintigration’ into your speakers. if you don’t have it, download it. and you know what? just get all of disintegration if you don’t have it and let it play… you’ll thank me, it’s one of the best records in the world.”
by Fred (follow me on Facebook) The Cure will reissue their timeless 1989 gothic masterpiece Disintegration on May 25. Across the pond? The day before. Included therein, this previously-unreleased track — among many others, apparently — “Delirious Night.” It is nice work, a better cut than, say, “Homesick” or “untitled,” but it simply wouldn’t have [...]
Amanda Palmer Splits with RoadRunner Records
After a lengthy legal battle with Roadrunner Records, to get dropped from the label, Amanda Palmer finally has her wish. As of yesterday Palmer is no longer being held under the thumb of the man. To celebrate she is releasing for free (technically it’s pay what you want) a previously unreleased song, a stunt that [...]
Evelyn Evelyn – “My Space”
Evelyn Evelyn has no doubt gotten a little more of the wrong kind of attention than Amanda Palmer and Jason Webley originally intended. But I guess no press is bad press right? The latest single off the album is a full on 80′s arena rock ballad complete with Phil Collins “In The Air Tonight” drum [...]
Bleg: Magnus does Palmer doing Jagger?
by Fred I could have sworn this was a Dresden Dolls arrangement, but I can’t find it anywhere. Sports fans? Use the comments section to tell me where I’m going wrong? Great stuff either way.

A few weeks ago I reported on a supposed project that Amanda Palmer was working on which included some Siamese twins that are joined at the hip. The project would be called Evelyn Evelyn as a play on the “twins” names. As I wrote originally, I wasn’t going to believe a lick of it until [...]
Evelyn Evelyn
by Patrick I got an email yesterday with a header that I had to read a couple of times to make sure that I was getting the message correctly. The email read “Ladies and Gentlemen! Critics and hipsters! We are proud to introduce ‘Evelyn Evelyn‘ – the world’s only conjoined-twin singer-songwriter duo.” I’ll give you [...]
Amanda Palmer Getting Married?
I received an email yesterday stating that Dresdon Doll singer and eyebrow artists Amanda Palmer is getting married to world renowned fantasy and comic book writer Neil Gaiman. I could have sworn that I thought Palmer’s door swung the other way if you catch my drift. That is until my co-blogger reminded me of this [...]
[Video] Amanda Palmer’s redo of Tegan and Sara’s “Hell”
Amanda Palmer definitely marches to the beat of her own drum no matter what those around her might think. After hearing the explanation from Tegan and Sara Quin for the lyrics to the track “Hell” Palmer decided to film her own video on the streets of NYC with the help of Director Michael Pope. The [...]
