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. If I say it's horrifying, it denies the superb photography of the book, the cadence of Neil's fitting words, the attention to detail in the pictures, and the shots where Amanda lies serene and peaceful. The only thing to do then, is describe it as this: spectacularly unique. Combining the lyrics of her latest album, with short stories by Mr. Gaiman, and photos that seem to have been collected over many times and situations, Who Killed Amanda Palmer is both frightening, absorbing, artistic, and just a little fascinating. My personal favourite is the story of the author in the hot-air balloon, where I actually sat amazed at how well the picture and the text sat together as a compliment. It's not a book for everyone, Amanda Palmer - Who Killed Amanda Palmer? for Gaiman fans it's a definite read, For Palmer fans it's a sure-bet for a look. And for fans of both - it's an absolute must buy. Aug Amanda Palmer - Who Killed Amanda Palmer?, Cleverusername2 rated it really liked it. As a photography book designed to supplement a new album this book seems more like an extension of the same art project as if they grew up around each other organically. Perhaps it is Ms. Palmers' history as a performance artist Amanda Palmer - Who Killed Amanda Palmer? makes her a perfect model for being photographed as deceased in elaborate and evocative positions and locales. Doubtless she is enjoying herself, which eliminates any misogynistic or overly macabre connotations. She is not advocating murder; maybe the death of a per As a photography book designed to supplement a new album this book seems more like an extension of the same art project as if they grew up around each other organically. She is not advocating murder; maybe the death of a persona over and over constantly remaking and destroying yourself or simulacra of yourself as an image. Some shots seem to have taken careful preparation and planning, others seem more casual. As if she was out with friends and said to them "Hey, this would be a nice spot for an 'AFP is Dead' shot. In some photographs she is not the center of attention and you have to look around for her, as if she was Waldo's bloated corpse. Often Palmer sings her songs with ether a rapid-fire pacing or Amanda Palmer - Who Killed Amanda Palmer? drone, so it is a treat to have them on paper to explore at your leisure. Having images to go along with the songs gives you more insight into the artist's vision. Neil Gaiman's fiction serves as pleasant accompaniment to the images. Most of the photographs seem to beg for a story to go along with the murder and he knows how to add mystery, humor, and a supernatural quality to the pictures. The Amanda Palmer - Who Killed Amanda Palmer? is not new, I know of a book with the fiction of Harlan Ellison accompanying his favorite fantasy artist, but it is welcome in this book and does not seem forced. Also, micro fiction is a rather maligned genre and I am glad to see it showcased here, because Neil does it well. Amanda has striking beautiful looks and an attractive body, and an impeccable taste in wardrobe, but it is still strange to see it mangled Amanda Palmer - Who Killed Amanda Palmer? bruised page after page. There is sentuality and sexuality here but it does not leave the ashen aftertaste of a snuff film. I would not have crafted this book to order but I did enjoy receiving it as a gift. This is not pornography or the product of a sick deranged mind. I can clearly see the artistic merit and cathartic release. I would say this is a must for any Dresden Dolls or Amanda Palmer fan, worthy for consideration for the Gaiman completes, or for the lover of photography. A cursory glance by the squeamish or prudish could lead to some misunderstandings and awkward silences or excuses. So who killed Amanda Palmer? I think if you really take it all in objectively you will see that we all had the motive, means, and opportunity and all share jointly in the guilt and blame. Jun 15, Lily-Rose Beardshaw rated it it was amazing Shelves: received-as-a-gifti-own-it. I've always kinda liked Neil Gaiman -- the mythic status of his work and his crush-inducing good looks certainly don't hurt -- but I think it's taken until the age I am now to truly appreciate his writing. His sense of humour is very quiet and subtle, for one, and I think I'm only just beginning to Amanda Palmer - Who Killed Amanda Palmer? that it's a thread running through even the most apparently 'serious' of his works. I received Who Killed Amanda Palmer Amanda Palmer - Who Killed Amanda Palmer? a Christmas present from my partner, who'd gotten through all of his I've always kinda liked Neil Gaiman -- the mythic status of his work and his crush-inducing good looks certainly don't hurt -- but I think it's taken until the age I am now to truly appreciate his writing. I received Who Killed Amanda Palmer as a Christmas present from my partner, who'd gotten Amanda Palmer - Who Killed Amanda Palmer? all of his Christmas shopping in one day and surprised me with a discounted display copy of this that he found in Forbidden Planet International. It doesn't take long to read, and while I find myself less often in the mood for Palmer's ramped-up punk cabaret vision, this is an artist whose work is maturing, of which this oddball little book is further proof.
