oh dear I've had "do it with a rockstar" in my head for the last 24 hours, but instead of lines about getting wasted and cavity exams it's been "do you want to eat / sweet potato fries? / do you wanna order twenty pizza pies?" etc.

Why yes, yes I do

far superior, obv:

She was pretty good last night. No complaints. Recovering from bronchitis and gave it her all. Real trooper. It's not music I would seek out and put on, but I'd rather see her live again over, say, Of Montreal, who I truly find insufferable and annoying, as much as I like some of those albums.

This song is stuck in my head, for better or worse.

Really not enough google search results for "Amanda Palmer" AND bellowing.

team erykah badu

i have via the virtue of donating to a friends kickstarter been proffered this exclusive invite

Finally I can draw back the velvet curtain and reveal the secret performers for our GALA PARTY: Amanda Palmer & Neil Gaiman

The GALA PARTY will take place in a location disclosed only to backers

/u all mad jel

the self-clowning in that video gets better and better the more time goes by

She cries because she's deep.

Another Amanda Palmer kickstarter! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/182095077/old-boston-firehouse-to-become-art-space-torrent-e/posts/352131

Sort of amazing how his association with her has made me start actively dislike one of my previously favorite writers.

Our names are Katherine Bergeron (aka Katrina Galore) and E. Stephen Frederick (curator of The Empire S.N.A.F.U. Restoration Project). We are the founders of Torrent Engine 18.

We were both born into families of artists and have been breathing art-fumes from day one.

OK, this hate seems a little misdirected. It looks like she (and he) is performing at what is essentially a private fundraiser. Nothing wrong with that.

GUILT BY ASSOCIATION

Sorry, the combination of Boing Boing promoting this, Amanda Palmer, and artsy burlesque triggered a perfect storm of my disdain.

Yeah, it's a perfect storm of precious.

Should I go to this with big banners that say "I WANT MY MTV" and "THANK YOU REAL WORLD" and try to get kicked out?

you know the answer to that

YES

A THOUSAND TIMES YES

I think you should raise Kickstarter funds to support the cost of the banner, printing, etc.

Finally I can draw back the velvet curtain and reveal the secret performers for our GALA PARTY:

Amanda Palmer & Neil Gaiman

1) my condolences on your unfortunate incarceration

2) try Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanda_Palmer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Gaiman )

- quick find these magical unicorn people before they learn of APalm and NGaim

next year, it would be cool if neil gaiman were naked all the time and amanda palmer wore a prom dress everywhere

well not cool exactly but "ironic"

It would have been shocking if she was wearing a top in that picture.

surprised there's not already a switched face version of that picture

that is the switched face version.

neil gaiman at least needs scary eyebrows in 2013

anyone know what exactly happened to her eyebrows?

each one offered as a kickstarter premium; exact location of lash 23 still unknown

terrible drag queen fire

one should never use drag queens for home heating. It says so right on the package.

Some ladies shave them off once and they never come back! Or so my friend who read the I Love Lucy bio claimed

re: eyebrows

for a second there i thought noxeema jackson was gonna hafta reiterate the difference between a drag queen and a transsexual.

So this is JUST for Dan.

Who will LOVE this news.

Yup.

Band to Perform Prince’s Purple Rain In Its Entirety

http://i577.photobucket.com/albums/ss216/8dos7/Princeisdisgusted.gif

next up: a Kickstarter to cover legal fees from the Prince lawsuit

Explaining why they chose to perform Purple Rain this New Year’s, Palmer shares, “The members of the Grand Theft Orchestra (me, Chad, Michael and Jherek) all come from very different musical backgrounds and have wildly different tastes, but there is ONE THING on our venn diagram that overlaps in the "perfect album" department, and that's PURPLE RAIN. We all grew up worshipping this record. Everybody already knows the songs cold (Jherek used to actually be IN A PRINCE COVER BAND) and we're all going to take turns singing and swapping instruments. The band will, of course, be dressed in our finest Prince-esque finery, covering all aspects of Prince, his facial hair, and his various eras of nudity. We're also encouraging the entire audience to "come as your favorite era of prince". I want to run around counting people in ASSLESS CHAPS, and maybe give them door prizes for bravery. New Years Eve is cold.”

She really like USING CAPITALS, huh?

covering all aspects of Prince, his facial hair, and his various eras of nudity

what the hell wrong with u

Maybe she and Neil will come out and duet on "When 2 R in Love" butt naked except for a huge flower.

excuse me, I appear to be dying from lols

Wonder if she'll paint on some Prince facial hair in the same style as her eyebrows?

the question isn't "will she paint on Prince facial hair?", it's "how many times will she run backstage and change her Prince facial hair?"

Ugh, she's totally writing "SLAVE" on her face, too.

I assumed she would be writing "SLAVE" on her chest

That's fucked up, but she's got a great band, so she's halfway there.
