Amanda Palmer reacts to justice (as to everything) with exuberant Twittering

Yes­terday, Amanda Palmer (of the Dresden Dolls and also of a kind of bril­liant solo album and recent col­lab­o­ra­tion with Jason Webley called Evelyn Evelyn) led an aggres­sive, Mel-Gibsoned Twitter cam­paign to make a big announce­ment: after sev­eral years of imbroglio with the less than sup­portive Road Runner Records, she has finally been dropped from the label. (I totally called the news when she posted the Gibson photo, though who’s taking score?)

To cel­e­brate the occa­sion, Palmer released “The Truth,” a free down­load, fea­turing Jason Webley on guitar and Sam Kulik on trom­bone. The song is a story-of-everything-ever, in Amanda’s endearing kind of way; most of all, though, it cel­e­brates freedom. You know you like freedom. And no matter what anyone says, I am not over this lady – she can keep over­sharing, making clumsy com­ments and posting her trade­mark near-nudes willy nilly around the internet. It’s just a pic­ture of a girl get­ting Twitterer.

The above is off Who Killed Amanda Palmer, and it is one of my favorites, as it cel­e­brates one of my favorite kinds of humor. Have a good Thursday and try to be as awe­some, please.
