Music videos accomplish what has never been done before in the history of media: They make experimentation a commercial enterprise. They afford musicians, filmmakers, and multimedia artists the chance to have their craziest ideas not only produced, but shown to a large audience. What's more, in the age of Internet video, indie productions are now on equal footing with million-dollar productions. There's no visual medium more diverse or creative than music videos. Thirty years after the launch of MTV, the format is not only alive and well, but it's matured, expanded, and become a part of our global culture. When [...]
It's another week in the modern music world, and videos continue to drop like the leaves. Some of our favorite rappers put out some new visuals this week, some indie gems were able to shine through, and America's favorite (not so) single lady, Beyonce, showed everyone that she's still "a whole lot of woman." Now that the internet has taken over the music video industry, we all don't have to wait for a video to pop up during steady rotation. It's available at the click of a button. And as always, we here at Cluster 1 want you to be [...]

So here I am stuck at home on a snow day once again while New England gets walloped with even more snow that we have nowhere to put! While a snow day might seem like a godsend, there's no such thing as a free ride, and I'll be cursing it come June when I have to make it up. To drive back the indoor wintertime blues, I'm listening to the latest solo recording from Amanda Palmer , who's also half of the Dresden Dolls , and more recently [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive Whether it's stomping her way through the Dresden Dolls ' Brechtian odes, performing solo or co-fronting this year's Evelyn Evelyn project, Amanda Palmer is a strong presence. Oddly, though, the unstoppable Ms. P, who also took on a role as the MC in the American Repertory Theater's fall production of the musical 'Cabaret,' says that growing up her role models, at least musically, were men. "I didn't have a lot [...]
So it's a Thursday afternoon, you're hungry. A pizza could make do, but what you really have a craving for is Heath Ledger's soulful rendition of "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" from the bleachers in 10 Things I Hate About You. You don't have Heath, but Muse's version will make due. It sounds [...]
Covers of Joy Division's most enduring song by conjoined twins, Tuvan throat-singers, Icelandic post-rockers, and more.
Word of this project has been circulating for a few weeks now, but the official press release only came within the last day or so. In celebration of her release from her unpleasant record deal with Roadrunner, Amanda Palmer is taking to the internet (again) to release Amanda Palmer Plays the Popular Hits Of Radiohead On Her Magical Ukulele on July 17th. The artwork above is, in fact, the album cover, and the rundown of songs is below (order not confirmed). Idioteque Creep No Surprises [...]

In July, the Dresden Dolls singer will issue an EP of Radiohead covers with the straightforward title, 'Amanda Palmer Plays the Popular Hits of Radiohead on Her Magical Ukulele.' Yes, Palmer performs 'Idioteque,' 'Creep,' 'No Surprises,' 'High and Dry' and 'Fake Plastic Trees' on a ukulele. 'Exit Music (For a Film)' is the sole non-ukulele performance and was recorded live at the Sydney Opera House with [...]
For the Boston melophobe crew, Amanda Palmer and her various projects have been unavoidable over the past decade. We remember seeing her live doll act in Harvard Square on a weekly basis. We remember when she streaked on-stage during a Kaiser Chiefs show. Even now, despite her national popularity, she's still making waves in our beloved home town, whether it's collaborating with the Boston Pops or collaborating with our high school students . And while adapting our all-time favorite album to the stage makes us uneasy, we know that's exactly what [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News What musical tour these days features "conjoined twins," a shadow puppet show and a question-and-answer segment? That distinction belongs to Evelyn Evelyn . In actuality, Evelyn Evelyn are fictitious characters conceived and portrayed by Amanda Palmer and Jason Webley. Donning black wigs and makeup and sharing a long striped dress, the two musicians performed as Evelyn Evelyn on the second show of a five-night residency at New York's Lucille Lortel Theater last night. It was combination of musical performance and theater. [...]
Until last week I didn't know who Amanda Palmer was. I remember vaguely learning of the Dresden Dolls years ago, and might have watched them perform once on Conan O'Brien or another late-night show when I was in college. Still, I couldn't place her as a member of that band, nor have I ever heard any of her solo work. Her online bio was intriguing and the concert was to occur in some friends' living room, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity. Naturally, these things are bound to happen when one reaches the forefront of the rock community. [...]
Evelyn Evelyn tour dates Evelyn Evelyn , the world's only conjoined twin singer-songwriter duo "discovered" by Amanda Palmer of the Dresden Dolls and renowned minstrel Jason Webley , have released their debut album and kick off their tour this week. In addition to the twins' performances, circus composer, Sxip Shirey will open each night and Amanda and Jason will each perform sets of their solo material to finish out the evening. 05/19: Seattle, WA @ Showbox at the Market 05/20: Portland, OR @ [...]
Amanda Palmer describes the music she made with the Dresden Dolls as "Brechtian punk cabaret," so what better choice for her main stage acting debut than the campy musical Cabaret ? Palmer becomes The Emcee of the Kit Kat Club in the American Repertory Theater's revival of the Broadway hit, where her propensity for corsets and eye shadow should serve her well. Running in Boston from August through October, the play pairs her again with Steven Bogart, who she calls a "directing genius." The two previously collaborated on With the Needle That Sings [...]
As I posted yesterday , Gaba Kulka performed with Amanda Palmer and Jason Webley in Prague earlier this week. You can see some great photos from the gig here . And following are some YouTube video links from the performance provided by Gaba, including a new one of her elephant puppetry while Amanda and Jason sang "Elephant Elephant" from their Evelyn Evelyn album.

Evelyn Evelyn channel vaudeville and The Sound of Music on their brand new video... with puppets, yes puppets. Amanda Palmer of the Dresden Dolls and Jason Webley have teamed up for the high concept, vaudevillian project Evelyn Evelyn, touted as the "world's first and only conjoined-twin singer-songwriter duo". The music evokes another time and place, perhaps some warped cabaret or a children's musical theatre in Weimar Germany. Webley has described the music as sounding "like something the Andrews Sisters might have recorded if they had grown up in the circus listening to new...
