Mystery Band...

[feeItheillinoise]

see, when i listened to the album somewhat ignorantly, i was fine. but as much as i like the album, thinking about the actual concepts they're discussing and seeing this video just seems so cruel to me in an inexplicable way. especially with everyone laughing. i like the songs and the voices, but acting the part actually may be too much. they could just simply recount the story as narrators instead of as the characters.

[moviemonkeys]

Now this is a HUGE slice of fuckery pie... I want to throw things.

[StarvingForTruth]

The worst part of it all - aside from even exploiting the suffering of the disabled - is that Amanda was an attention whore LONG before she was a shitty musician (which is what she is). And this is just more of the same.

I guess as long as there are emotionally needy teenagers in the world, shameless idiots like Palmer will always have an audience. May she someday wake up and see herself for what she is.

And then vomit like the rest of us.

[Laneh]

I hate to sound like a douche, but some people arent 'getting' it. They're feigning a first performance of a band, which is always nervous and shitty. Look at them now :)

[celeb8]

God this is just awful. Amanda Palmer is a self-confessed attention whore of unlimited potential, but even for her this is just eye-rollingly dumb.

I'm not offended, if there was some funny here there would be at least SOMETHING entertaining. This is just dumb dumb dumb.

Like the Dresden Dolls, too. Wish she'd go back to not sucking.

[massconfusion14]

hahahha, isn't the functional equivalent of black face SO HILARIOUS. OMG, exploiting oppressions that you don't suffer to promote your own privileged self is GREAT. and arent disabled people tragic and heroic and just so gosh darn funny to look at? yaaaay AFP, you really outdid yourself in sucking.

[discord20]

For those offended, listen to the entire album. It has a pretty dark vibe, with some humour in there, but its not meant to be mocking of disabled people. Conjoined twins open up a lot of questions about life and identity, and these artists honestly are using that for its metaphoric value. Its not just a cheap laugh at people with different bodies

[chdbtlrc]

@discord20 you do know that it's just Amanda and Jason, right? Research is awesome.

[discord20]

@chdbtlrc uh, yeah, I did know that. But the album is ABOUT two characters who are conjoined twins, do you see? If they actually were conjoined twins they couldn't be accused of mocking them. Maybe try a little reading comprehension next time before going to the condescending place.

[dnarii]

This is gross.

[palamino747]

This is going to look so ignorant to most people in another 20 years. Too bad it takes us so long. Gross.

[Candle3eater]

what?! i dont know that guys name, i know amanda, so the twins arent real, i dont mind i still like the songs, way to get the comment wrong

[Candle3eater]

im really confused, are the twins real or is it justa manda and that dude dressing up the whole time???

[KayteBlack]

WIN

[StellaOmega]

hee hee hee, how funny these conjoined, abused twins are!

[Ch1x0rH4x]

@StellaOmega

good job, you're butt hurt about art. how's it feel to get so aggro so easily?

[PennyDropper]

Ear lie.

[englandsdarling]

apparently farnces bean cobain and gerard way will be in it too, or am i getting confused? :S

[672melody]

To qoute Amanda:

"there was a minor tabloid blow-up announcing the album features the singing debut of frances bean cobain. if youre looking for that, wrong record.everybody was just having fun, and theres almost no way to distinguish whos singing whatit was mostly a show of symbolic support for the twins on the parts of all these kind people.Everybody took 45 sec. out of their lives & EMAILED us a file of their voice singing THE SAME LINE, & we mixed it all together, gang-vocal-style."

[672melody]

"the guests include weird al yankovic,

tegan quin,sara quin ( tegan & sara), soko,jimmy urine (mindless self indulgence)his wife chantal claret (morningwood),eugene mirman,corn mo, ethan/ari gold,andrew w.k.,gerard way (my chemical romance),kirsten vangsness,frances bean cobain,neil gaiman,margaret cho franz nicolay, reverend peyton (big damn band fame), kim boekbinder,zoe boekbinder (vermillion lies), jason, and i think thats it."

[iamsochemical]

I'd love to see her or The Dresden Dolls, but not THIS new project for the Evelyn Neville's sisters band :O

[reeblite]

i don't think that many.

[reeblite]

i'd never pay money to see them.

[meratenjou]

...yeah but alot of other people will so it doesn't really matter if you do or not

[retinueofmoons]
