Easy there, no one's saying she's a war criminal or anything. It's just that her amateur musician scheme was disingenuous.

I would totally bang amanda palmer. Is it just me? or does Ed look like he had a face lift in the photo's she posted?

Playing catch up here -

She starts a kickstarter to fund a tour for $1m+
Charges (presumably a lot of the same people) $30 for tickets
Then pulls volunteers from the crowd to perform her music for "free"
But uses paid musicians for shows she thinks are important


This accurate?

Amanda Palmer is the worst.

This thread is zero fun.

all better

Also Spenno needs to stop getting all his opinions from Steve Albini

alright, i'm calmer now. i could reformulate that post above in a less hostile language but i still think that there's a difference between not liking her or even hating her attitude or music but i have a hard time dealing with hyperbolic hatred. i think that it's just as disingenuous as what people accuse AP of being.

I'm not speaking for glen, but if you actually read her blog post about that evening, he did end up throwing things at her.

And she did ask ed questions about things I know he doesn't want to talk about.
None about his facelift though

Ugh. i wish people didnt clap. And i wish ed didnt speed it up to thrash metal.

Seriously. Crowds at Eddie solo shows are the worst. You're in a theatre and there's one man on stage. Listen to the damn music.

oh my god yes. and it's only been getting worse with each tour.

She gave him a hug* when he told the story


*equivalent to 2 hours of work as a non-NYC backing band member

She's married. To Neil gaiman. The writer.
Who would like being asked about something like that?
Especially by someone who doesn't seem like tact is a forte

They have an open marriage, they talked about it on their joint Reddit AMA.

She's so obtuse!
