New Amanda Palmer Video - "Runs In The Family"
The Who Killed Amanda Palmer video series rolls on with Part Four, which is really the Third Song (the first bit was just the intro credits, this is sort of like a TV series -- see David Lynch-y album title). Last week was the pretty "Ampersand" (with Amanda going topless), before that it was the great 1/8 note paranoia of "Astronaut" (with Amanda going crazy with the eyebrows), and this morning it's "Runs In The Family" (with Amanda needing a nanny and probably a hug, too). It's also the third great song we've heard coming from this solo debut LP.
I don't know what that last minute is about, exactly, but AP still does the angsty and alienated thing better than most teenagers with years less therapy. So that's three full-scale videos from an album that isn't even out yet. Good pre-release buzz strategy, but it sorta helps that the videos belong to three full-scale awesome songs. This is shaping up to be at least on par with anything from the Dolls. Possibly better.
Who Killed Amanda Palmer? is out 9/16 via Roadrunner.

do it live.
Score = 0
the last minute is just the transition to the next song, it will make sense in a couple of weeks. the next few songs are "strength through music", "guitar hero" and "another year"
Score = 0

Amanda Palmer is my goddess! Well, she's not mine in the sense that i possess her, but in the sense that she possesses me, being my goddess and all....
I can't say i'm surprised at the number of people who don't "get" it - not wrapped up nice and tidy like the daily show, et al.
Production values of the web release are pretty sweet. I love watching moderately successful geniuses get to release their work on their own terms like this:
