At the moment
I love the Cakeroll song. It's so goddamn fucking CATCHY.

Other than that, I'm very afraid of giving my music tastes out, in case I'm judged/people listen to the artists I like and think "What the hell is that shit?"

One of my top-played songs is about date-rape, bullying and abortion.
Oh, and Oasis. WOULD Amanda Palmer in a flash.

If you don't have a grin on your face from that song...erm, you've probably been offended by it. But I love it. It's so fucking HAPPY!

This is AMAZING.
I love it a big huggy bunch. Thank you! :)

As far as I remember she really was raped
though I doubt it was aborted by a coathanger to a soundtrack of cheesy cheery pop. It's an amazing song, I would love to be able to perform it. She's got another song about backstreet abortion, it's great - very sultry and dark.

I love the Numa Numa Song (Dragostea din Tei - the love of the linden tree, I watched Grease in Romanian once and remembered the word for "love")

In that case, I have so much respect for her
being able to laugh about it. Jamesthegill introduced me to the Dresden Dolls some time ago but I think I prefer this :)

This weekend has been one of musical rediscovery since I got my new PC and put everything on it from my external hard drive; some of it is total shit and needs to be deleted (for example, flatmate's complete Weird Al discography) but some of it is gold!

Oh you might know the song I mean
Mandy Goes To Med School - the one that starts with "I've been feeling dull as a coat hanger, pretty as a picture of a patient on a fresh ID; giddy as gang-banger with a pair of sutres where his magic Johnson ought to be"

Would kill to be able to sing like her! My friend Sarah introduced me to them, hough by weird coincidence I had heard Coin Operated Boy a few days before and was WTFing about it. BRILLIANT song.

I'm currently acquiring
her albums; my laptop appears to have eaten my Dresden Dolls :(

Love the Dresden Dolls
You would probably also like The Bastard Fairies. Also awesome. See also "We're all going to hell".

Yay :) I'll check them out more!
Also, could someone test this link for me? It's an Excel file of my iTunes library:

Apart from needing to do it as a proper href type link,
"We're sorry, [email protected] does not have permission to access this spreadsheet."

I think you need to do a sharing thing.

Oh cock.
I had a feeling it might not work. I'm proud that the solution was so straightforward though; I might see if there's a way to make the spreadsheet feed off my library data with some kind of giant macro like we do at work.

Wow
what a song !

My guilty musical pleasure - Jean-Michel Jarre and Mike Oldfield.

Uber-geek music for the over 40s. Don't put it on often mind...

Moonlight Shadow is AWESOME.
For some reason, Italian radio is obsessed with it, which is where I heard it :)

*resists the temptation to say "Jean-Michel Jarre is a fraud"*

:O The Cakeroll song is genius.
LazyTown + rap (which I usually hate) = epic win.

When I saw her back in February
She had a long rant between songs about how UK radio stations wouldn't play it because it's "making light of tragedy". She mentioned that gallows humour is something we Brits do extremely well (at which point I wondered if she was on here herself) and proceeded to play a tragic, minor key version of the song.

Thankfully it's been recorded for posterity on youtube - www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbbGItbX7tA

Pah.
If it's cathartic for her, which I suspect it may be, then I applaud her.
( Maladicta, Sun 31 May 2009, 15:34, Reply)

Bloody brilliant song
very brave of her to put it in public like that. Here on QOTW when we go for carthesis it's still reletivly anonymous, but to perform it in public, with that much humour - excellent.

I hope she tours here again soon
I'd like to see that.
