I've never been a fan of The Dresden Dolls. That cover they did of Queens' "No One Knows" was interesting, but besides that... nothing. So consider my surprise when I listened to Palmer's solo record and thought it was really good. That's an even greater endorsement after I read that "a lot of the songs are piano ballads that never...

If you're going to dub an unscheduled show a "ninja gig," as Dresden Dolls frontwoman Amanda Palmer did yesterday, you probably shouldn't get arrested for playing it. Ninjas are known for their stealth. They sneak into houses through windows, making no noise whatsoever, and then they kill you in your bed with katana ninjato swords.Palmer, on the...

Amanda Palmer is a classy lady. She got married on Sunday, and released this tune, which is an ode to ladies' private parts, yesterday. She's probably extremely happy to be releasing stuff like this now, considering Roadrunner Records made her so pissed off (remember?) throughout her time there. "Map Of Tasmania" is the first single from Amanda...
