date rape abortion greatness.

That was remarkably fun. I imagine Brian Viglione slit his wrists when this came out.

i would do amanda palmer, no question. she's the kind of crazy only eastern massachusetts can produce. and that entire album is great, date rape and all.

I think the thing you don't like about her voice might be exactly what I do like. I'm not sure if this is a very good comparison but I haven't been able to put my finger on who her voice reminds me of, and the closest I've come is the girl from Concrete Blond. The music is very different though...

I also like the sort of almost overarticulated quality of her lyrics.

not all her music is like that, though. she's got a pretty wide range and her fucking voice can do ridiculous things. her lower range is stunning. for rizzle.

yeah I really dig her, haven't seen her solor show yet, but will try and catch her at coachella for sure.

ouch, I think you missed out on all the good that was the 80s Mere...I'm not forced to wonder what you were listening to????

Frankly, I'll admit I was listening to a lot of crap (well, I will still claim Billy Joel, Michael Jackson and Elton John -- and the Grease and Annie soundtracks) until about 1987 when I discovered Beatles tapes were better than top 40 radio.

But I stand by my dislike of those musicians.
