Amanda. Fucking. Palmer.
Now, i could leave it at that cause it pretty much sums everything up, but for those of you who aren't telepathic, I'll explain.
Amanda Palmer (lead singer of the Dresden Dolls nad now a solo artist) came to New Zealand and played in my town last night. My friend was opening and I was secretly hoping that Amanda's fiance (my own personal God, Neil Gaiman) would be there, so I payed my forty bucks and went. Hera, my friend, was amazing as per usuall, Neil wasn't there which was saddening (fucking Manila) but, it was all made better by the fact that Amanda Palmer is fucking amazing. I'm swearing a lot more than usual, if you couldn't tell, cause coming back from and Amanda gig leaves you like that as her name is actually Amanda Fucking Palmer, and she swears a lot. Anyway, she is my new musical obsession, because a)she's really talented and b)she played Radiohead's 'Creep' on a fucking Ukelele... there is no denying the sheer win of that.
Anyway, enough of that ramble, I'll go back to my internetless corner, see you Saturday!

chaoticnorse:
Speaking of Gaiman, have u ever seen Mirror Mask?

Hell yes I have seen Mirror Mask. I was sitting there freaking out cause it was so amazing, what with it being like a moving Dave Mckean art piece put together with a Neil Gaiman story.
