so do we have a thread about this Amanda Palmer thing yet?

[D.o.S.]

So I've just googled this thing for like twenty minutes.

You got hit with a million bucks on kickstarter, you can probably pay your own band.

I hate when people come from an angle of "experience." Been there done that'd. BLEH!

And yea, I think it's awesome Albini is speaking out. It is BS.

I wouldn't have every heard of her or listened to a song of her's had it not been for this thread....so it's working for her?

Not a fan of her music at all, but it's evident, when it comes to this little battle and the attention, she wins now.

[dase]

i still can't believe that many people wanted to hear something from Amanda Palmer in the first place.

I know right! I thought Devi was like the only person on earth that actually liked her... go figure...

her little nostalgic DIY bullshit charade bugs the shit out of me. there's nothing DIY about preying upon her fans who are apparently desperate enough to throw a million at her in the first place.

nailed it. It's like an article I read ages ago comparing kickstarter campaigns to Fugazi. No.

Amanda was featured on Ted Talks, interesting to hear her story.

No comment.

Fuck Ted Talks. They're right up there with NPR, voting center-left, and spilling your coffee just enough to have it run down the side of the mug and make you look like an asshole with shaky hands.

Also, furthermore, fuck spilling your coffee because you're trying to drink it but Mohammed wants you to look at the MMEPs he just goldplated, so you have to walk down the hall with a giant cup of hot coffee, and it gets all over your hand. THEY LOOK FINE MOHAMMED, THEY'RE PLATED, YOU'VE DONE THIS BEFORE, HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF AND YOUR OWN JUDGMENT MAN.

[Achtane]

Oh, maybe they aren't tattoos.
WHATEVER, FUCK IT

[well... it's green]

Is it ok if I dislike her? because I really do.

Well, she's got that big wart on the side of her face.
