amanda palmer's open poem to jonathan chait (and other crimes)

looking forward to Amanda Palmer's follow up Potato Salad album, rumored to be the sounds of potato salad

bring it on.

i'm not going to back it, though.

She has standards guys

palmer's "i'm not saying it's good but it's what the market allows and that's good" argument often runs into itself passing the other way round

ANYONE IS ALLOWED TO ASK FOR ANYTHING.

THAT'S THE DEAL.

What a convenient morally consistent position for her to take.

FIFTEEN WHOLE PEOPLE

As opposed to fifteen broken people?

15.0

they'll be broke when she's thru with them

What if someone was raising that money to make a really good potato salad to feed Palmer on tour?

She would just spit the potato salad into a glass vase to re-sell to her fans via Kickstarter OMG THE SNAKE IS EATING ITS TAIL

I think you mean THE SNAKE IS EATING ITS POTATO SALAD

honestly though the only thing that makes me angry about the potato salad Kickstarter is that potato salad is fukkin gross

have you tried all kinds?

bc last i checked it is fucking delicious

German potato salad is edible, at least.

potato salad is awful tbrr

i really love when people cite the dadaists in support of their ideas. by "love" I mean "start banging my head against a concrete floor"

Potato salad is gross
Potato salad Kickstarter is gross
Amanda Palmer is gross

dadadaists fucking love potato salad

they call it kartoffel salad though. the more you know

dadaists were mostly really angry motherfuckers so yeah not big on whimsical internet broshit i'd guess

Once I made potato salad and sold it at a stand in Boston. I had a sign that simply said "pay what you want." And you know what? I made $5 that day, and that was from more than one person (not including my folks; thanks for the recipe, mom!). At one point a homeless man ambled up, took a cup of potato salad, and with an apologetic look on his face, dropped a solitary nickel into my bucket. I looked him straight in the eyes and mouthed the words: thank you.

calling something dada is the new calling something punk

considering dadaism wasn't solely a product of german speaking ppl, i think you are wrong

i have had good potato salad, but it was good because there was no mayo in it

dadadaism was solely the produce of exactly 3 german speaking ppl

and they sold out to volkswagen

i have had good potato salad, but it was good because there was no mayo in it

la med?

it was in the prepared foods section at Berkeley Bowl

I love mayo-free potato salad so much

amanda palmer has more redeeming qualities than mayo

i am starting a religion in which mayo is the only path to redemption

the mayo is made with easter eggs and oil of catechumens

mayo: god's jizz

that is our only creed

Thanks to Weird Al, Amanda Palmer has now appeared on a song that I have zero qualms about liking

which song?

"First World Problems", the Pixies pastiche

lol, this is great. He's about to get in trouble with the British contingent for maligning spastics in his Blurred Lines parody though.

the British contingent of what?

the Weird Al Army, I assume

"maligning spastics"

cool post dude

CBC woman-beater Jian Ghomeshi is still going to be Amanda's guest at her upcoming Toronto show: https://twitter.com/amandapalmer/status/526603935260610560

AFP just gets off on zigging when everyone else zags. It makes total sense that she'd go through with this shit.

he seems to be saying that relations between him and the ex-girlfriend were always consensual so (unless you have access to information that others may not have) I'm not sure where you're getting "woman-beater" from

I don't know why you'd unilaterally accept his account over

The three women interviewed by the Star allege that Ghomeshi physically attacked them on dates without consent. They allege he struck them with a closed fist or open hand; bit them; choked them until they almost passed out; covered their nose and mouth so that they had difficulty breathing; and that they were verbally abused during and after sex.

A fourth woman, who worked at CBC, said Ghomeshi told her at work: “I want to hate f--- you.”

plus the blind item essay about him repeatedly refusing to stop touching her on a not-really-first-date, and the coworker who wouldn't give details about his dating life except that he was "into breath play"

well, it's been awhile since AP got to write lengthy blog posts defending herself against the horrible people who criticize her

Why are you even talking about some CBC interviewer? You should be talking about Amanda Palmer! Follow her lead!

It's promising to be a breathtaking show.
