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

[ChetMagongalo]

I mean even when it helps I still think it's weird

[Iommic Pope]

what a cuntfart

Dude, wordsmith. And I wholeheartedly agree.

...gutter busker...

Before this, I'd never heard of her and if you'd of asked me "Who's Amanda Palmer?" I would have probably said "That chick from Twin Peaks?".

My opinion: If you want professional musicians, equipment, props, chips and salsa etc. for a tour and you can't afford it or it isn't logistically possible to provide it for yourself, you put it on your rider/contract and let the promoter handle it. If the promoter refuses to provide it, find another promoter that will. If you can't find Promoters that will provide you what you want then your draw probably doesn't warrant it.

This, right here.

man those eyebrow tats are like so unique and forward thinking
really challenges my worldview

i put my dick in amanda palmer's communal sad/bland potato salad

wait

because of this thread
now i know who she is
and what shes done
i did google, wikipedia,kickstarted
some blog action,images
now i know a bunch
about someone that shouldnt be known
so shes not really famous for her music
shes famous for the way she acquires money
to make the shit music
its not a big deal
but even if on a miniscule level
this has only impacted me negatively
theres nothing about this that i like
except that you guys dont like it as well
what a cuntfart

Not the best look as far as first impressions go...that's f'sho.

I saw this story when it was new, albeit on sites other than ILF.
My immediate reaction, first and foremost was/is still "WTF is DIY about a 7 figure budget?"

Really? REALLY?

So I didn't crank the hype machine. I didn't search anything out and forgot about her, having no desire to know more.
That is, until seeing this thread however many minutes ago and reading some of these amusing replies.


I just watched a video, to hear some song that was all but immediately forgotten...
And all I'm left thinking about is an old Chris Rock line from MTV Movie Awards 2000:

...Blair Witch was made with $30,000? Someone's walking around with $29,000 in their pocket.

Entertaining situation and person. But musically...meh...at least it makes me laugh.
And I would be laughing harder, had I been personally solicited toward the *million dollar DIY goal*.


TL;DR
Haters gonna hate. Poseurs gonna fake.

this thread is now about rainbow vomit

[pigmaker]

Shes not even musically interesting, personally interesting, or sexually attractive

i'm only on the second page but i can not stop feeling pure joy that someone is not only named Jherek Bischoff, but he's a bass player.

JERK OF THAT BISHE OFF YOU BAD MOTHERFUUUUUUUUUUCKER.

[behndy]

iiiiiiiiiii don't know anything about her, the op post makes me cringe, the retraction making it sound like it was a dodsle to find the money to pay musicians made me cringe more....

but she DID fill in for Erykah Badu in that Flaming Lips video she freaked out about acter seeing her sister covered in pseudo blood and pseudo baby batter.

it's now not all body fluidy but.... Ms. The Palmer IS working with some of my favorite musicians, The Lips That Flame.

Yes, perhaps so, and by you bumping this thread, you are now the "Behn That Flames" or the "Behn That Fans The Flame" or "Something Like That".

[D.o.S.]

Dude no one likes the Flaming Lips anymore shit son that's why they reissued Ziareeka.

I still love 'em, but I haven't been paying that much attention to the music they've been putting out lately.

[behndy]

I LOVE THOSE LITTLE FUCKERS.

look. they don't have to put out full albums i adore. they've made so much stuff that's just great that i'm happy if there's a song or two on each album that's good. i'm just giddy that they do what the fuck they want. i'm kinda jealous.

also, that thing with Lightning Bolt is one of my favorite songs from either of them.
