Amanda Palmer (David Garland/flickr)Amanda Palmer
Amanda Palmer's songs are not only an experience of lyrics and music; she also makes listeners feel the drama of the action of performance.
Amanda sits (and sometimes rises to her feet) at the WNYC piano to croon, sing, and scream some of the songs that appear on her brand new album (released Sept. 16), "Who Killed Amanda Palmer." She also performs a brand new song co-written with famed author Neil Gaiman.
With host David Garland, Amanda discusses the thoughts and passions behind these songs, her on-going work with the band The Dresden Dolls, her network of fans, and music's roles as life-line, catharsis, and thrill.
