STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Thursday, 20 January 2022 19:38 (four years ago)

any time someone says there's a q&a at an event i will be like "oh you mean a conversation salon"

STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Thursday, 20 January 2022 19:39 (four years ago)

I've learned to brace myself for the worst when this thread gets bumped, but this was disappointingly low on the APCES (Amanda Palmer Cringe Event Scale). I give it a 3 out of 10.

maybe it’s hosted on Jeremy Renner’s social media app?

assert (matttkkkk), Thursday, 20 January 2022 20:29 (four years ago)

that would bump it up to an easy 4/10

i think my most cherished amanda palmer byproduct is the consternation that arises whenever she pulls another innocuous stunt. omg she’s writing a column o no!!!

effortless trolling, it is like an art, she should sell a series of seminars (because peeps wld get mad and it wld be funny)

cowboy bopeep (cat), Thursday, 20 January 2022 21:43 (four years ago)

I’m still back on the time she chewed on things and auctioned them off to her fans

castanuts (DJP), Thursday, 20 January 2022 21:57 (four years ago)

just a rehash of one of her original controversies (crowdsourcing her string sections and not paying them for their labor). i give it a C-

intheblanks, Thursday, 20 January 2022 22:08 (four years ago)

Is it a coincidence she and Chait announced Substacks on the same day or do the Substack masters read ILX?

Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 20 January 2022 22:27 (four years ago)

I don't dare look back through the thread to find out, but has she done NFTs yet?

a superficial sheeb of intelligence (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 20 January 2022 22:41 (four years ago)

I would buy an NFT of her eyebrows

castanuts (DJP), Thursday, 20 January 2022 22:47 (four years ago)

she called a fucking advice column a “conversation salon” come on

maura, Thursday, 20 January 2022 22:56 (four years ago)

cowboy bopeep (cat), Friday, 21 January 2022 00:42 (four years ago)

i went to two conversation salons earlier today, except they were called meetings. she should like set up a zoom room or google hangout and charge people to enter and watch her check her email.

did they ever try to monetize couples therapy?

sarahell, Sunday, 6 November 2022 09:49 (three years ago)

I assumed this happened already, didn’t they literally stop living in the same country

Regret to inform you all that she took a powerful lesson from Sinead O'Connor as well - it's the same lesson as always: never wonder "Am I the asshole?"

Andrew Farrell, Thursday, 3 August 2023 00:43 (two years ago)

Am I not your asshole?

i enjoyed the subtle but great running joke about amanda palmer on Deadloch (Australian murder comedy/satire series on Amazon)

Roz, Thursday, 3 August 2023 02:06 (two years ago)

is this post available to schadenreade somewhere publicly?

serving bundt (sic), Thursday, 3 August 2023 03:21 (two years ago)

it didn't work on mobile but did on desktop (although I can imagine you balked at the URL!)

As I sit here with tears in my eyes, I find my complicated feelings about chat GPT getting even more complicated.

one month passes...

It's been so long since whatever Amanda Palmer did to make so many people (including me) dislike her that I've got to admit ... I don't remember what it was. But I saw her years ago with the Dresden Dolls, and fair's fair, the band was good. They reunited/played at Riot Fest yesterday, and while I wasn't watching them, specifically, I caught a bit of their set, and ... it was pretty good again? They brought out Melissa Auf der Maur for a Beastie Boys cover:

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 19 September 2023 00:21 (two years ago)

yeah they are touring. I hate them. I love Melissa auf der Mar though.

I? not I! He! He! HIM! (akm), Tuesday, 19 September 2023 00:25 (two years ago)

I don't even think that highly of the Beastie Boys tbh but no I am not clicking on that, are you fucking crazy

I will not encourage such behaviour

He also used to tell me: “Say less.”
