  1. Iffy,

    She is actually the lead singer for The Dresden Dolls. You should hear her do War Pigs.

  2. Laura,

    That is one of the most beautiful things I’ve heard in a really really long time- thanks Chris!

    I love (at 2:50, especially) how she’s standing like an impassioned punk rocker playing a violent guitar solo although she’s on this tiny, peaceful ukelele (but wonderfully impassioned nonetheless). And then she gets everyone to join in- wicked!

    Although I find this post a little too political. And it makes me think of Ingersoll, Cynikitty, Creationism, and Steve. Please remove it. ;) You like sarcasm, right?

    Seriously though- please share more of these! I adore the unique instrumental videos even more than the classically-beautiful piano or cello ones which are lovely but traditional. However you found this- good job!!

  3. If you liked that Creep cover, let me direct you to this totally fucking awesome one.

  4. Kristen,

    She began her career in Boston as the Ten Foot Bride–a street performance where she wore a platform-covering wedding dress, and kept perfect stillness save for the handout of an occasional rose.
    Her most recent album is “Who Killed Amanda Palmer” Very Good Stuff.

  5. Seth,

    That was really good. That looked like a really nice hall so it’s understandable that Hitler wore a cocktail dress.

  6. Laura,

    Thanks Chris! It’s funny because I was re-watching the first video over and over when I saw your second comment. You may have saved me from sitting here immobilized for the rest of the day without even changing the screen.
    That’s so awesome- he sounds so much like Sinatra to me, which makes this even better. And now I’m cruising that website for other Dresden Dolls songs because I’ve just been converted into a rabid fan.

  7. Josh,

    As promoted by Howard Stern on his 12/18 show…

  8. gorckat,

    I am so glad I figured out to make Audacity record my soundcard’s output last night (or w/e an audiophile would say).

  9. deepsea33,

    sings a song with lyrics by/inspired by Neil Gaiman http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUOgGNaNOxc

  10. Arlo,

    Hey! It’s Tit-ler!

  11. I think I may be in love. Why is it that I like weirdo chicks?

  12. Great cover and a good find. Radiohead is one of the best bands ever (in my opinion anyway). Her cover is one of the best I’ve heard.

  13. Tess,

    I have such a girl crush on Amanda Palmer

  14. perro,

  15. Rev,

    Amanda Palmer is great!
