Dresden Dolls: 2 For 2
You may remember this debate about DD's "Girl Anachronism" video. Brilliant or trying too hard? We couldn't decide.
Now there's a video for "Coin Operated Boy". Again I'm mesmerized. What is it about these Kabuki-faced cabaret punks?

Every fiber of my being tells me that I should hate it. I mean, they REALLY are trying to hard. Beating you over the head, in fact, with the same shtick. Hooooowever, I find myself enthralled with the video and have the melody stuck in my head.

Anyone who paints their eyebrows on in swirly little patterns is trying too hard. I think they just watched Cabaret one time too many.

Again, sticking to my opinion of "kill me now." Since they won't leave Boston, looks like I'll have to. (code speak for: I'm moving to NYC on Tuesday!

Stereogum introduced me to the D Dolls and I'm still hooked. I can't wait until they perform in NYC.

WRONG YOU LOSE
The name is simply a reference to the German city Dresden. They're cabaret-punk, specifically GERMAN cabaret, put it together.
I find them amazing. The fact is, none of you who are insulting them have anything constructive to say. You simply state "they suck" and move on. WHY do they suck? Tell us. We want to know. Because we can prove it wrong.
