Musings and a meme

Usually I exist in a state of ambivalence towards people, so I generally didn't think of Amanda Palmer that much besides liking what I heard of/about her (and can anyone not like that pic with her shirt saying 'lick my legs'?). But I have to say that this issue with her video and her record company is so ridiculously horrible and now I want to go buy her album. Have any of you guys heard her new album? I know Neil Gaiman wrote an intro for it and he always talks about her on his journal.

Speaking of buying albums: I managed to obtain funds to buy music! I'm super happy about it but of course FOB doesn't come out until the 16th! Can I be frank and say that I possess the full ability to buy music and vote on the same day? Because I can. Honest. While I understand the reasoning when I tilt my head to the left and spin, I still wish I had the full album now and not a collection of singles.

Question: On What A Catch Donnie, what exactly is Brendon singing? What lyrics? I can match every other part except for his, and I looked it up online and it said something about love... and what song is that from?

So a recent post on patd gave rise to some comments about pretty.odd. being a flop and I just have to say that I disagree. I heard they sold 600 000 worldwide and while I know that is not close to what was sold domestically for AFYCSO, I have to throw out there that I don't think they were going to sell as well regardless. They might as well have done what they wanted to do. (Since I want to try and keep this post short, I will save my patd postulizing for another post.) But my point is, thinking that patd has lost popularity so their new Live in Chicago CD/DVD should be easy to find was a misstep on my part. Neither Target or Walmart had it so now I just have to lurk and find it whenever I stumble on it. Maybe I will just catch the exclusive one on sale online at some later date because I want those pictures :)

Did you guys read that snippet with PATD discussing possible new music for '09? I have to say that I am really excited for it. I am curious to where they take their music now. I do have some hopes though *more drumming!* *more Jon singing!* *more exciting music!* *stronger songs!*--what are you guys hoping for with the new album?

We just bought a new keyboard for this desktop and it feels amazing. The old one was sticking and deleting mass amounts of words, which made me want to throw out a window after it ate two sentences of my nano.
