Photograph by Kyle Cassidy

A Preamble to a Photograph - Neil Gaiman’s words

in which he talks about the story behind “The Bed Song” by Amanda Palmer. A conversation of theirs started the little thought in Amanda’s head that became this sad and beautiful song.

Read it. Watch the video.

Nope, still can’t deal with this.

Right now, Kyle is taking the handful of last photographs for the book. And as we were talking about it, I realised, with a creeping horror, that the final photo had, inevitably, to be me and Amanda. Amanda has been in many photographs naked, has no nudity taboo that I’ve ever noticed. I’m English. I have a nudity taboo. 

Kyle took several shots of us in Philadelphia last week, in our hotel room. Some of them we had the covers over us, some of us (the scary ones — well, scary for me) we didn’t.  I held Amanda and did my best to go to sleep.

I’ve not seen any of the photos Kyle took of us without bedclothes, yet.  I’m nervous as hell about seeing them, but also certain that we’ll find the one to be the final image, and glad it will only be in a very limited edition book. But the photo that Kyle just sent over showing Amanda and me together, under the covers, with me mostly asleep, is beautiful.

And this is it.

I’m blinking quite a lot right now.

Amanda Palmer, You can bet your black ass.

I hope she gets this song recorded properly sometime as I love it. It almost made me cry seeing her play it, although really I spent the whole of that gig trying not to cry for various reasons. Until then I’ll have to make do with the video of her performing it at the British Library.

Oh I love her… 

I expect extreme amounts of keytar on the album.

Amanda Palmer & The Grand Theft Orchestra:
“Do It With A Rockstar” 

IT’S JUST SO GOOD

Go and back her record on Kickstarter

I might just listen to this on a loop until September.

afpfellonme:

Amazing sauce! :D 

That alone was worth being a backer. It’s going to be a long wait until September.

Can it be September already? I really want to see what they come up with. it’s going to be great.

AMANDA PALMER’s new RECORD, ART BOOK, and TOUR (pre-order on KICKSTARTER)

Just going to reblog every gif set of this video I come across because look at her.

Here’s hoping this works, chances are it won’t as Tumblr seems to hate any video not from Youtube.

EDIT: Yayyy, it did work. If you don’t want to back then don’t but if you’re even a vague fan of her then you might want to watch this because it’s incredibly cute.

afpfellonme:

If you haven’t already, please back this awesome project! :D

I have now backed as I knew otherwise I’d forget before the deadline with all of the work I have left to do. I’m so happy she’s already funded it almost five times over already but loads of the cool packages are left so it’s worth a look if you have some money burning a hole in your pocket :D.
