Palmer makes me laugh. A millionaire coining it in by putting a positive spin on begging. :lol:

She's prying another coffin lid open later this year in the form of an Elliot Smith 'tribute'.

A beautiful and vulnerable man, whose legacy demands treating with great sensitivity.



As opposed to tastelessly stomping her signature all over it as she did whilst butchering Purple Rain.

Not new; the tracks were linked to but not the video, and it’s a great but in one way really twisted cover of “Video Games” from a few years back.

New song. Soon as I post something because it’s quiet this appears. If it sounds a little similar that’s as both were written/co-written by Justin Parker.

Live performance of Vincent Black Lightning with her dad – the one with the animated video from a few weeks ago. No apologies for posting it twice as it is very good, and a good performance, and rewards repeat listening.


It’s from an interview, done when she was in the UK but only just posted.

Another magazine piece, this time a blog post in the NME, on covers which we were discussing a few weeks ago. Includes two more videos from her London show, so not new but currently unlisted, and I’d not seen them until they were posted in the interview.


The Bowie Prom is this Friday, the 29th. Coverage seemingly across the BBC – as well as Radio 3 both BBC 4 and Radio 6 have some coverage, the latter as part of a wider Bowie event. Of course being The Proms if you are nearby you can just turn up and Prom, i.e. pay £6 for a ticket on the day.

They are livestreaming the Dresden Dolls concert tonight, globally and for free (assuming their servers hold up). It starts about 90 minutes from now, so at midnight UK time. Link:

I've not been (in all honesty) that impressed with this thread's eponymous popster but, I clicked this link with great interest.
I was instantly met with some pretentious pish, a lady dressed up in suspenders, looking kind of cliched, sitting on a swing and looking sullen, like, deliberately as in 'I'm here as a paid piece' type sullen, I'm so interesting and we're all so bohemian.

*sigh*

The live stream is now up online as a “replay”, so no longer live, for your viewing at your own convenience:

I have gourds growing in my garden. What's the significance of carrying one?

I'm not sure, maybe they " emanate cosmic energy " ?? Give it a go and see what happens!

I was talking about the musical instrument of course.... :D

New songs: she is writing songs for a musical, JIB, or: The Child Who Went Forth To Learn What Fear Was, with Jason Webley. These are only demos – presumably they will come with band or orchestral backing when the musical is produced – but they are recognisably her, or her and Jason Webley’s, music. Paid for by Patreon so downloadable for “name your price”, or you can just listen to them on Bandcamp:
