Amanda Palmer is one of the most beautiful women in the world. Her unique voice makes her one of my most very favorite sounds. Shes a weirdo. There is no doubt about that at all. But rather than coming across as a jerk, I find it absolutely intoxicating.
So it makes me happy to announce that my girl has taken on creating an album of Radiohead covers- performed on ukulele. Huh?
Yeah no kiddin
Amanda Palmer Plays The Popular Hits Of Radiohead On Her Magical Ukulele will be available for a donation of 84 cents or more (54 cents of which goes to Radiohead to pay for copyrights). The album will also be released on vinyl (1,000 copies) bundled with ukuleles hand-painted by Palmer and a personal phone call from her.
OK this sounds rather absurd doesnt it?
Yeah?
Well its not its fucking beautiful.
Cop a listen to “Idioteque” right here

I love how with each song she points out how much she had to pay Radiohead to use there stuff. Shes so fucking cool
Could be why she signs off with “Amanda Fucking Palmer”
You go my little love doll
The full release date is July 17. 2010.
