I have a question.
So I downloaded a lot of your music and bought some of your CDs and sheet music used from amazon.com. But I love everything you've done and I want to send you money.
If I mail a check to the address on this website, will it go directly to you, or am I going to be funding Roadrunner Records' suckiness?

Amanda, I honestly thought that that record was great. I don't know how you DIDN'T make money off of that. I mean, I really like the Dresden Dolls, and I didn't even know that you had a record until I saw it on iTunes. I listened to some previews, and I just fell in love. So, I went out, found the record, bought it, and am listening to it right now as i write this.you must have a million emails like this comment here, but the album is practically my life written by you. hahaha... well thats it.

Quite admire your honest blogs. They're real, and I can believe them when I read them, I can understand. You're not a superficial superstar who's up their own ass (I really hate those). That's one of the reasons I like you so much. You're just amazing, you create such individual music and you always put your heart into your work.
I'm so glad your relationship is going well.

Enjoy your internet free week :p

Update: I've quit that girl. She's just not worth my time.

If only all women were ladies such as yourself, Miss Palmer.

She's not a lady. She's a monster.

Dude...being a popular entertainer sounds like the shittiest gig in the world. Every popular musician I know - personally - loves to play music but hates their life and always acts like they are skazzing out on crystal meth when the shit repeatedly hits the fan.

good luck.

Maybe you'll get laid and forget it all.

Oh Amanda, it is a SIN that you should have to worry about money with your talent and popularity. I really hope RR chokes on it when the time comes. I'm usually not this negative, but I cannot believe the are making you wait around like that. How can they sleep!?

It's so awesome that you can talk about these things so openly with Neil, I'm loving that guy more every day. Even though you do not have the house and children to show for your debts, always know that you have enriched my life more than I could ever say, turned me on to the most amazing art and music in the world, and opened up a community of loving and caring people to me I never would have known, an inspired the artist in me. I know you can't eat any of that, but you will never go without if I have something to give.

I hope disconnection is treating you well =)

St Andrews used to have a shop called Bits & Bobs (or, technically, "Betty's Bit's & Bob's"). It sold fabric, sewing supplies, and drug paraphernelia.

Ha. Hmmm, your predicament reminds me of George Michael. Wasn't he between a blender and a contract. What did he do. Fuck all. Sat in time, going crazy with songs inside him, almost made him insane. I know what that feels like. To sit and wait for somebody to go away thinking there's no more juice to squeeze. When they go, you unleash -Feathers of Fury-

Oh, dear god. That was a nice post to read, although you don't seem to be crossing a very nice path right now. As everyone says, hope you can clear your head a bit with this time offline. And, I have to say I've never seen you live 'cos I'm from Argentina lol and we have our very own brigade and stuff and making plans to bring you here. Now, hold on, I'm not using this comment just to advertise us (?). Well, maybe a bit. Whatever, you still fucking rock and I'll wait for decades if I have to.

I love the way you describe your relationship, I expect to hear any Me-and-the-minibar-only-happier kind of song anytime soon :)
You're incredible.

homeskillet!
maybe you should send around a petition at one of your secret shows
lobbying for your record label to drop you. would that work? i have no clue.
you gotta try everything though, or else you haven't tried it all. of course.
i hope you find e'rething you need. i hope you get gracefully out of debt.
i hope you keep appreciating whatever it is you have, which is so much,
by the looks of it.

happy hunting,
(:(:

Thank god you have a stable, happy relationship you can be open about and contented with. It's beautiful you two can understand eachother so well and just be.

Mine is...complicated.

To put it into perspective: A song that seems to capture all of it perfectly would have to be "The Olde Headboard" by Rasputina. Specifically the line 'Where'd you get the dumb idea for all the secretive platonic dating?'

It seems worth it sometimes.

Others, it seems like she's playing my dick like a fiddle.

She's just...really fucked up. I'm not going to explain her through a comment box. Trying to explain her is impossible enough, really.

She's just so different than anyone I've ever met. In good and bad ways.

...

Enough of that, though.

...

Sorry your label's still acting all ho-like. My managers actually tend to dawdle around and ignore me/my roommate (who is now working with me [we're like Lavern and Shirley?]), if they can't think of anything for us to do. We eventually just mosey off and do shit we know needs to get done before either of them comes up to finally give us a task.

I'm actually really glad she works with me, now, because she's definitely my emotional anchor, there. We work in a madhouse.

A mad warehouse.

I'm realizing that creative, intelligent people often have to work for or under some REALLY not bright individuals, throughout their lives.

Fuel for the fire, I guess.. Though it doesn't really help that I've been so burnt out by work in general, I haven't had much time to create. Fuckballs.

...

That's a lovely dress, ma'am.

That's also a perfectly captured 'WTF?' face.

...

One day, I will be fabulous-enough to be able to attend one of your Fringe performances, because damnit if it doesn't look and sound awesome, every time.

...

I've said it before, in far schmaltzier ways, but you should truly consider coming to Santa Cruz sometime next year. Everybody wants a piece of the Palmer-pie, though. Everybody's telling you to come here, stay with me, I WILL MAKE YOU KALE AND POTATOES AND RICE. No, the last part's just me, and even then it'll probably be my roommate doing the cooking part. She's much better at it than I.

Seriously, though.

They love you here.

(Fucking better.)

...

I haven't commented on any of the past few entries. My bad. Please understand, shit has been hectic in so many ways.

Enjoy your break, ma'am. Take care.
