Who Killed Amanda Palmer?

by Mene Tekel

Dresden Dolls frontwoman Amanda Palmer has released a solo work with Ben Folds, East Bay Ray of the Dead Kennedys and more.


With a more clever and less pretentious air, the album "Who Killed Amanda Palmer?" sounds better than the D.D. work she's done. The album's loose concept, with an introduction written by Neil Gaiman (Stardust), is that Amanda Palmer, a super celebrity in leagues with Anna Nicole Smith, died, leaving a legend bigger than her life.


Tracks like "Runs in the Family" and "Guitar Hero" prove Palmer's music is stronger and rejuvenated, giving her "death" a new life.
