Anyway, for those interested, Amanda Palmer's sophomore album, Amanda Palmer Goes Down Under, will be released January 21. In the meantime, you can download the song "Map of Tasmania" for as little as nothing at http://music.amandapalmer.net/track/map-of-tasmania-feat-the-young-punx It's... interesting. It is catchy. My friend wrote of the video (which you can watch at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3B8omCWBl8s), "Super fun song from Dresden Dolls' Amanda Palmer--don't watch this at work or school, as the main visual theme is Palmer lifting her skirt up to show various puffy things covering up her middle bits."

They've been compared to The Swell Season (I think for the shared male/female vocals), Damien Rice, Iron & Wine. - --Neile ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Jan 2011 23:39:17 -0500 From: Sarah Morayati Subject: New Charlotte Martin Because while we're posting about new stuff... Charlotte Martin's newest album, _Dancing on Needles_, is out in a week or so, and it's excellent. It's hard to talk about, really, because the thing about this album is that it almost didn't happen -- Charlotte suffered nerve damage and could only record it piecemeal, in extremely short sessions. Sounds like the midpoint between _On Your Shore_ and _Stromata_, if you're curious -- it's heavier on piano than electronics, but it's a much darker album than her debut. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 16 Jan 2011 00:13:11 -0600 From: Paul Jensen Subject: Re: New Charlotte Martin I had nearly given up on Charlotte Martin, but decided to give this new album a chance. I really loved "On Your Shore", but never connected with "Stromata" or any of the various/multiple EPs she released since then. So far, I'm really impressed with "Dancing on Needles". I can almost say, with certainty, that she's won me back as a fan. I'm looking forward to spending more time with this album over the next few weeks!
