Amanda Palmer, of Dresden Dolls fame, will be performing live at the Culture Room in Ft. Lauderdale on Saturday, March 28th - doors open at 8.p.m. She will be performing songs off of her solo album, Who Killed Amanda Palmer. Here's a review of it from Spin magazine:Manic and depressed, Amanda Palmer's solo debut is either artful psychobiography or deeply twisted dramatic monologue. Either way, 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. On the rapid-fire "Runs in the Family," Palmer recites a catalog of maladies, including an impulse to "open my legs up to anyone who'll have me." On the sultry, over-amped "Leeds United," she intones over a slurred, high-stepping horn section: "Who needs love / When there's Southern Comfort?" On this Method-acted album, that's a rhetorical question.
I bought my tickets today and I'm excited! Who needs the Winter Music Conference when there's Amanda Palmer?
Here are three great songs off of her solo debut:
You and I have totally opposite music tastes. I can't stand the chick from the Diamanda Galas and I can't stand Amanda Palmer or the Dresden Dolls either. But how do you feel about New Order? I still like them. Maybe we can agree on them?
ReplyDeleteLOL, that's funny. I love New Order, actually.
