the whole event sounds awful

groooooooooss
it's not all on her though, he agreed to let people pay to hear them talk about their relationship

yeah this was a two headed monster

i know the booker on that one; sales were crazy and fast. they could set up a residency in nyc pretty much anywhere they want.

The number of special guests, including Meow Meow, Lance Horne, Claudia Gonson, and Kat Robichaud, may be down to holding the event in New York City, since fellow performers were in the right place at the right time to take part.

wow... how'd they score those super celebrities

tbf meow meow and lance horne are cool people

i never doubted it

:(

TMF & AP's deal are not really that dissimilar imo - they're both into cabaret songs pretty heavily, it's just that Merritt's not an extrovert

i dunno, remember Merrit's infamous "69 Love Songs" show at the box where he made out with Jocelyn wildenstein

Ha I know, aero, I have had that thought (though mainly in the Dresden Dolls days when I gratefully knew less about AFP), but still, I would have preferred the link to stay only in my head

rip extroverts

They should call themselves the Black-Hearted Peas

12 Years a Slave drove the point home. the privileged (whites/straights/menfolk) MUST be allowed to fight for change. not just the oppressed

yeah i just saw that....sadkjf;l,ahiqr3teouwfgj paworgji qneosdpfghijrw9 pgilsd

lmao UMS

she is incredible

So much twisted logic in just a few short tweets, my mind is struggling to grapple with it

(wept. a lot.)

stuff like this bothers me. a lot.

Honestly, if she left it at weeping over 12 years, I'd be ok with it, but jumping from that to a defense of macklemore is just too much. This is way worse than any of the kickstarter drama.

Envisioning a supergroup of AP, Macklemore, Brad Paisley & Ani DiFranco

I for one applaud her courage to stand up and support the privileged people of the world.

unfamiliar with 12 years a slave. what do the white men do to come in and save the day?

it is kinda a fascinating tweet just in terms of how complex it is, like it's obviously a concise medium & yet what she's saying makes me want to draw diagrams & create infographics just to explore the new perspectives on history drawn out by her thesis, like really thoroughly map the new parameters suggested

Took them in as sla-oh wait

(Seriously though, Brad Pitt's character sends a letter to Solomon's former home, setting in motion the latter's freedom.)

@maura
reading ap's twitter also taught me that she's going to be an advice columnist soon. as if today didn't have enough content bubble evidence.

Dear God in Heaven @ all of this

How, as a white person, the hell do you walk out of a movie like 12 Years a Slave thinking "how do I make this more about myself"? I honestly cannot comprehend this. (Also, exactly who is stopping white people from helping to end racism, because it isn't black people..)

"how do I make this more about myself"

well

It just boils down to a stupid reverse racism argument. "White people can't fight racism because someone said something mean about macklemore"

Let's not even get into "I saw people being mean to Macklemore and I thought 'ME ME ME ME ME'"

Damn. First 400 years of slavery, and now people getting upset about Macklemore. When will we ever learn.

ap is one of those people where you wanna hate the player more than the game

this thread started with so many AMANDA PALMER IS OTM posts, too
