Amanda Palmer Does Karaoke Verité

I'm new to this whole "karaoke verité" concept, but it sounds a whole lot more fun than getting evil stares from the bartenders at Winnie's. Here, Dresden Doll Amanda Palmer brings Aberdeen City's "God Is Going To Get Sick Of Me" to life.

Too bad she doesn't SING!

There's a proper clip for the Aberdeen City song here. (QT)

It was done by Worms Eye Films, who previously gave us like, the best video ever!

Aberdeen City's The Freezing Atlantic hits stores 8/8.

I don't believe you. Winnie's super nice and always remembers my name and favorite shot (the flaming cookie monster).

Surprised you didn't link to her Avril video...

[by the way Sufjan looks like he would rather be anywhere but here in the photo with your T-shirt.]

I saw Aberdeen City in concert opening for Elefant. Highly entertaining.

I saw Porsches on the Autobahn open for Aberdeen City at the Middle East downstairs on Boston last month and they completely stole the show.

The New Year - "MMV"
