Amanda Palmer
« on: June 11, 2013, 12:40:25 pm »
Do we have any fans of her on here?  She's a very charismatic, acerbic and out-there kinda woman who won't bow to peer pressure in the music industry.  Plus she has appeared nude in a few music videos of late:





"How ridiculous society is! Why be given a body if you have to shut it away like a rare, rare fiddle?"

And check this clip out where she vents her spleen on The Daily Mail:

She's fantastic isn't she, and I'm so pleased she responded in this way to that pathetic article where there so obviously had no idea who she was.

Here she is on BBC's Newsnight, explaining her recent experiences with the Daily Mail and the song she wrote in response:

She is playing in Brisbane very soon, so I want to go and see her and meet her in person.  I sent her a very nice email saying that she and Morrissey are two of the last people on my hit-list I'd like to meet in real life the most.  :)

Well she is certainly different. I had never heard of her until I saw this thread but I have to say I am now a fan. She's good. 
I became aware of my destiny: to belong to the critical minority as opposed to the unquestioning majority.

Missed seeing her as I'm stony broke at the moment.  Oh well, there's always tomorrow.
