New Amanda Palmer - "Astronaut" (Live)
Forget Who Killed Amanda Palmer?, we're wondering: Where's Brian?! Amanda's been up to so much by her lonesome recently, like far-flung covers (R.E.M., Rihanna, St. Vincent) and walking with the ghosts. And though it's more strictly Palmer here, it's well forgiven because a) it's a listen at her forthcoming, Twin Peaks-referencing solo album and b) it is really, really good (and dramatic!). From her solo gig in Boston at Sxip's Hour Of Charm. She can barely contain herself:
Who Killed Amanda Palmer? is due in '08 on her label Eight Foot Records. If you liked that and are in Australia, Amanda's coming to you with a bunch of shows this month. And Brian finally gets back in the act this winter with a bunch of North American Dresden Dolls dates, through later-December and most of January. Jump for 'em.

Score = 0
just saw her on the 24th solo, wasnt sure how i was going to enjoy it without the powerhouse known as brian viglione backing her, but i was insanely impressed by her alone. seems her voice is a hell of a lot more accurate live these days.

oh stereogum, i never know when you're joking anymore...

don't care for the dolls myself, but an interesting sidenote: while she's doing the solo record, he's going to be out on the road drumming for nine inch nails. that's a hell of a step up in my book.
