Amanda Palmer: Pubes For Publicity -By Helen Bach

Oh Amanda, how I loved you.
So Ive already reviewed the single ” Map of Tasmania’. 
 Yeah it was cute. 
So here is the video.
What do you think?
I think its pretty lame.
 I think the hairy armpits are the most disturbing part of it though.
  Seriously art school..
I ‘unfollowed’ Amanda awhile back. 
 I found I was losing respect for her ‘in crowd’ Twitter antics.
At first she fascinated me, Ive been such a fan for so long. 
 I found her beautiful and intelligent. 
 Yet after following her on Twitter for just a few months my entire opinion of her did a 180.
I don’t want to be an Amanda Palmer fan.
There was a time when I was frantic to see her or The Dresden Dolls live. 
 What a dream come true that would have been.  Again, as such a die hard Dresden fan, I actually started arguments over my shock that EVERYONE didn’t LOVE them as much as I did.
Everyone sucked but me.
But in just that short bit of time I found that whole ‘hipster’ persona in full swing.  I saw the clique behaviour that I actually felt DD was against.
I cant say it was bitchy but I can say the circle is definitely closed.
What a shame.
I have tried to listen to DD and Amanda and even watch this video without the prejudice of knowing the performance is really an act a true ‘performance’. 
But I cant.
Its a fucking joke. 
 Its a hey look how fringe I am!!
 Loookiitttt meeeee
No thanks.  
 Amanda Palmer fell off my most loved artist list in 2010, along with Elvis Costello
All my heroes are fake- what a rude realization.
Here’s the video.. I have no use for it any longer.
