worth a try

for my music appreciation class we have to do a 5-7 minute oral presentation about something musical. the catch is it can't be over classical music or old composers. i don't know about the other people in my class but this made me really excited because i immediately thought of the perfect artist to do my presentation on...

amanda fucking palmer.


my professor said he's looking for uniqueness, freshness, and preferably something or someone that a lot of people might not know about. i think amanda fits those things and much more.
seeing that most people probably would not know who amanda palmer is without the dresden dolls, i'll be including her musical companionship with brian viglione as well.

it's perfect. there are so many resources, art pieces, quotes, songs, and things i haven't thought of yet that i could use in this presentation. i want to do it early so i can maybe introduce people to her around the release of the new album, "who killed amanda palmer."
i'm thinking of making a 3-4 song sampler to give to everyone as a gift along with using songs and video for the presentation itself.

i'm excited.







my excitement for this made me feel better for not being able to go to the nine inch nails concert at red rocks tonight. i still regret not buying tickets... damn it.
