If you haven’t seen this already, it’s one of those “are you kidding me?” stories. Amanda Palmer, who headed up the Dresden Dolls, put together a video for her song “Leeds United” off her new solo album. The song leaves me cold (I was amused to read that Ben Folds produced it, and then congratulated myself for relatively consistent taste), but the video is pretty looking, and owes a lot to the creepy scenes with the Master of Ceremonies in “Cabaret”.* It seems like the least controversial thing ever.
But apparently, her belly is too fat for the tastes set by her label, and they refused to run with it, which of course created a huge blow-out and now she’s quitting them.
