Another Amanda Palmer video. When she sang “I want you, but I don’t need you”, a cover of Momus, the sheep were amusing and distracting. I listened to this song later, and I can’t stop thinking about it. I think most people can relate to it at some point in their lives.

I’m absolutely thrilled about the upcoming film Coraline. Watch the trailer here:

I saw the preview when I went to see Bedtime Stories (don’t ask). The story seemed intriguing and the animation was beautiful, not to mention the fact that it’s a Focus Feature film (Milk, Traffic, Eternal Sunshine, Lost In Translation) <3<3<3.

When I searched for more information, I knew I HAD TO see this movie. It's based on a story by Neil Gaimen, who is kinda a big deal (in college I almost got addicted to comics thanks to The Sandman). It’s out on Feb 6. Only two more weeks!

I’m also incredibly excited about Who Killed Amanda Palmer, a photo storybook featuring one of my favorite performers (Amanda), and an amazing author (Neil).

Here’s a clip of Amanda performing “Trout Heart Replica” at Bimbo’s last month. She had been writing the song on tour, and finished it the day she was performing in San Francisco. It’s such a lovely, heartbreaking song.
