Amanda Palmer was there with Zoe Keating on cello i missed the show as I was stuck in traffic for 3 hours trying to park, which caused me to suffer heat exhaustion but got over that as the night wore on. I am sure she slayed the audience - she crowd surfed and all the pictures are superb!!! she is really really on a roll - her book "Who Killed Amanda Palmer" is avail for pre-order now check her myspace for deets. she did press with AfterEllen and Current TV while at the Smash Labs secret show that I shot, so look forward to those down the road...she's been doing a lot of radio interviews, too she has a real live career going on and i have been enjoying watching and being around it. plus, she is awesome for pictures! really has a lot going on w/ personality, style, creativity, humour et al. I have some of my coachella pix up www.myspace.com/birdiepix - just the digital snaps, i shot numerous rolls of film that still need to be developed...so, perhaps towards the 1st of the month for those... decided for next year that lennox/stewart should reunite as one of the big opening night acts and have the Lucent Dossier vaudeville cirque with them onstage as dancers, aerialist's, fire eaters - whatever - bang on! so, alerted annie, dave, coachella and lucent artistic director to that....well...great opportunity for all, that. and bat for lashes, chairlift, and and....oh yeah, lelia broussard would all be great next year, too so, we'll see...... :-) Birdie ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2009 09:32:33 -0500 From: Paul Jensen Subject: For fans of Belle & Sebastian For your consideration: http://www.godhelpthegirl.com/ God Help The Girl is Stuart Murdoch's new side-project, due out June 23rd. You can download the first single "Come Monday Night" (which is fantastic) by signing up for their mailing list. There's also a 5 and 1/2 minute video talking about the concept of the album, and also features bits of the recording process. Lots of beautiful female vocals & strings. Should have big appeal to ecto fans! Paul - -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "This is the time.
