Revering Amanda Palmer

Blogging Amanda Palmer like someone with too much time on their hands.

If you’re good at trusting strangers, and you put yourself in a general environment where the strangers are not assholes, you can do everything. But you have to go into it with the expectation that we actually are a global village and not buy into all the bullshit that we should be separated and afraid of each other.

Wonderful Nylon interview with Amanda Palmer about art, motherhood, and creative culture. Complement with her conversation with Debbie Millman about art, love, loneliness, motherhood, trust, vulnerability, and our lifelong quest to feel real, then revisit her magnificent BBC open letter on the choice to become a mother as a working artist.  (via explore-blog)

And when they put me in the ground, I’ll start pounding the lid, saying, ‘I haven’t finished yet. I still have a tattoo to get that says, I’m Living in the Moment…’

@amandapalmer at The School of Life (in London, Conway Hall) on 31st May 2016!  I really really loved this, and the tribe thing has shifted my perspective  little. Amanda is awesome. Also a little @neil-gaiman and Ash because they were there too…and the sermon was on Motherhood, so…that makes sense. Obviously!

After their splendid string quartet tribute to Bowie, Amanda Palmer and Jherek Bischoff return with this almost unbearably beautiful string quartet cover of Prince’s “Purple Rain” – put on a pair of good headphones, open your heart, and drink in the love. 

The track is just $1 on Bandcamp and all proceeds go toward the Elevate Hope Foundation, a nonprofit that provides music therapy for abused and abandoned children. 

Join me in supporting Amanda on Patreon so she can continue to make such beautiful, generous art.

The world needs actual excitement and emotion more than it needs cool people.
