Before a few weeks ago, I was neutral about Amanda Palmer so far as I was actually aware of her. The first time I heard of her was when she started popping up in [community profile] fandomsecrets about her and Neil Gaiman. An episode of On the Media focused on the music industry had a segment with her. I don't think I've heard any of her songs.

But I wanted to link to The Cost of Art, an essay looking at the recent controversies surrounding both Amanda Palmer and Erykah Badu. Truly an interesting parallel.

Palmer has now posted a song with a title taken from the NWA song "Fuck tha Police," accompanied by a nice picture of three white people playing music in a room and her declarations of freedom from her music label. I find that I don't really have anything to say about that.


I totally forgot to crosspost this, sorry DW'ers! The original LJ post is here
