FREE AMANDA PALMER - WHO KILLED AMANDA PALMER? PDF Amanda Palmer | 112 pages | 01 Feb 2009 | Cherry Lane Music Company | 9781603781237 | English | United States who killed amanda palmer As the story goes, what was originally intended to be a mere piano and vocal bedroom recording of material that was deemed too balladic for Dresden Dolls ' albums became an epic project by twist of fate. After Ben Folds contacted Amanda Palmer by email to randomly tell her that he was a fan of her music, they made plans to play some shows in Australia, where, upon meeting, the two wry-humored piano bashers found Amanda Palmer - Who Killed Amanda Palmer? shared a lot in common. He offered her future use of his Nashville studio, and once she accepted, he put on the producer hat and started taking the once raw songs to new heights with extensive layering. Vincenta horn section, cellist Zoe Keatingand a children's choir were all recruited to help round out the songs. While Folds ' collaboration with the more animated half of the Dresden DollsAmanda Palmerisn't quite as intriguing as his team-up Amanda Palmer - Who Killed Amanda Palmer? William Shatner on 's Has Beenit still comes as a bit of a surprise. Considering the potential of having these two different sides of the same coin dark piano goth, and peppy piano pop face Amanda Palmer - Who Killed Amanda Palmer? in the same room, it also Amanda Palmer - Who Killed Amanda Palmer? off as a slight disappointment. Now, despite what this might lead you to believe, the disappointment of the album doesn't come from overproduction, and it's not because Who Killed Amanda Palmer is a hugely drastic departure from the established Dresden Dolls formula with Brian Viglione ; strangely, even with the added orchestrated bells and whistles, it's actually very similar sounding to their stripped sound as a two-piece. Instead, the problem is that the album is what it is: a disc full of songs that originally didn't make the cut on the band's main albums. Most of these best alternate song ideas were already used up when compiling the track listing for the fantastic Dresden Dolls B-sides compilation, No, Virginia So, what we're looking at here are C-sides, which despite any amount of studio polish and however great the contributions by Foldsdon't quite stack up. Its extreme sappiness and "love your fella" faux-sentimentality are even more cringe-worthy than the Amanda Palmer - Who Killed Amanda Palmer? of "Oasis," in which Palmer tells a story about getting drunk, getting raped, getting an STD, and then getting an abortion, without ever getting too concerned because an autographed picture of Oasis just arrived in the mail.

I'm a fan of Neil Gaiman: I read his books, read his blog, and follow his Twitter feed. So when he starts mentioning this Amanda Palmer chick, links to her music videos, and extols both her talents as a musician and her creative nature in general, I decided I should pay attention. I did a little research of my own, learned more about Miss Palmer, but ultimately I was still left with the one question we all have, the only question that matters: who killed Amanda Palmer? This book is beautiful in a I'm a fan of Neil Gaiman: I read his books, read his blog, and follow his Twitter feed. This book is beautiful in a Amanda Palmer - Who Killed Amanda Palmer? dark, sometimes disconcerting way. Palmer and Gaiman may be two of the people most suited to creating works of twisted fantasy, where everything reminds you of classic or urban myths but is just a tiny bit off, just a little skewed. They've teamed up, along with talented photographers, to create a book that's breathtaking and eerie. It's easy to say, "Let's do a whole book of photos of me, only Amanda Palmer - Who Killed Amanda Palmer?. Yet the sheer variety of ways in which Amanda Palmer dies is disturbingly fascinating. Some of them are conventional, others are highly improbable; all of them look real. This book confronts that essential part of our humanity that's dark, the part of us that scares us--not everything is sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows. Gaiman's accompanying text is, as always, imaginative. My favourite, accompanying a photo of Amanda Palmer killed by a typewriter falling on her head, is the conversation between a novelist and his companion in a hot-air balloon Interspersed with Gaiman's short tales are the lyrics to the album of the same name. Although I haven't bought the album yet, anyone who has will treasure this book, if only as an illustrated lyrical companion. It Amanda Palmer - Who Killed Amanda Palmer?, of course, so much more. I think the best phrase to summarize my review would be this: I bought it for the Neil but stayed for the Amanda. View 2 comments. Aug 03, Lyndon rated it really liked it Shelves: old-reviews. This book is one of those that is incredibly hard to describe in review form. So lets start with the facts: 1. It's a Amanda Palmer - Who Killed Amanda Palmer? to Amanda Palmer's new CD of the same name. It has words accompanying each of the pictures she has had taken of herself, written by Neil Gaiman. She's dead in all the pictures, different ways and states each time. So that's the basics, but it leaves me wondering how to describe it to you, if I call it beautiful, it disregards the visceral pictures, the gritty, horrify This book is one of those that is incredibly hard to describe in review form. So that's the basics, but it leaves me wondering how to describe it to you, if I call it beautiful, it disregards the visceral pictures, the gritty, horrifying pictures of Amanda bloodied in a shopping trolley, or left in a dark alley.
