Who Killed Amanda Palmer is the first solo album by American musical artist Amanda Palmer.
The name of the album is a reference to the series Twin Peaks, which revolves around events surrounding the death of Laura Palmer.
Palmer was born in New York City's Mount Sinai Hospital,[7] and grew up in Lexington, Massachusetts.[8] She attended Lexington High School, where she was involved in the drama department,[9] and attended Wesleyan University[10] where she was a member of the Eclectic Society.[11] She staged performances based on work by the Legendary Pink Dots, an early influence, and was involved in the Legendary Pink Dots electronic mailing list, Cloud Zero.[citation needed] She then formed the Shadowbox Collective, devoted to street theatre and putting on theatrical shows (such as the 2002 play, Hotel Blanc,[12] which she directed).
On January 1, 2010, she stated on her Twitter feed that she "might have told [Neil Gaiman] [she]'d marry him but also might have been drunk."[73] On January 15, 2010, Neil Gaiman and Palmer confirmed their engagement in an announcement made to their respective websites.[74][75] On November 16, 2010, Amanda Palmer hosted a flash mob wedding (not legally binding) for Gaiman's birthday in New Orleans.[76][77] On January 3, 2011, the couple announced, via Twitter, that they had legally married in a private ceremony.[78] The wedding took place in the parlor of writers Ayelet Waldman and Michael Chabon.[79]
Palmer practices meditation and wrote an article titled "Melody vs. Meditation" for the Buddhist publication Shambhala Sun, that described the struggle between songwriting and being able to clear the mind to meditate.[80] Palmer has also mentioned her pescetarianism on her blog.[81]
Pescetarianism /ˌpɛskɨˈtɛəriən/ (also spelled pescatarianism) is the practice of a diet that includes seafood, but not the flesh of other animals.
WHEN I MEDITATE, I do not have a hard time letting go of films, grudges, or grocery lists. But I can't let go of music.

What the fudge?
It has been a month, maybe as long as a month and a half… Where have I been?
Same as every one else...doing other things.
I am just going to write it off to good karma.
I just lost a couple of paragraphs worth of thoughts and it is best not to think of it as a loss but as fortunate accident. Let us think those words were never meant to be recorded.
It isn't like anyone is going to really read this yet.
This is my therapy
.
So, if I believe in karma I will not try to re-create what I lost I will move forward… Ever forward.
I'll comment about how I started this blog.
It has been my habit start block with a movie. This time I started with a music out. Amanda Palmer is a little bit too artsy artsy, a little too punk to that caught my attention any other way than through her significant other...

I found Amanda while researching Neil… And I was researching Neil because I was looking… Listening to an audiobook he wrote.
Anansi Boys is a novel by Neil Gaiman. In Anansi Boys we discover that 'Mr. Nancy' (Anansi) has two sons, and the two sons in turn discover each other. The novel follows their adventures as they explore their common heritage.
Anansi Boys was published on September 20, 2005 and was released in paperback on October 1, 2006. The book debuted at number one on The New York Times Best Seller list,[1] and won both the Locus Award and the British Fantasy Society Award in 2006.[2] The audiobook was released in 2005, narrated byLenny Henry.
Amanda and Neil made such a quirky couple that they caught my attention. I especially enjoyed the YouTube video called what is in your bag. They went into a book and record shop and then talked about their choices. They brought several new authors and bands onto my radar. I thanked him for the period
if people stopped writing books and is another video was never recorded or another song ever written there is more out there and one could possibly hope to enjoy this is a new phenomenon of this generation. If you look back, previous literature almost always referenced the classics, the Greek classics. It was common ground. Referenced often. Everyone knew what was being meant for no reference was made to Greek literature and mythology. Although we all know about Greek mythology, we do not know as in-depth as previous generations. And many of these references are not obvious to the modern reader. I found this to be true when I read Henry David Thoreau quote Waltons Pond quote. I had to get in addition with footnotes to explain what was referencing in Greek mythology.
Walden (first published as Walden; or, Life in the Woods) is an American book written by noted transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau. The work is part personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual discovery, satire, and manual for self-reliance.[2] First published in 1854, it details Thoreau's experiences over the course of two years, two months, and two days in a cabin he built near Walden Pond, amidst woodland owned by his friend and mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson, near Concord, Massachusetts. The book compresses the time into a single calendar year and uses passages of four seasons to symbolize human development.
By immersing himself in nature, Thoreau hoped to gain a more objective understanding of society through personal introspection. Simple living and self-sufficiency were Thoreau's other goals, and the whole project was inspired by transcendentalist philosophy, a central theme of the American Romantic Period. As Thoreau made clear in his book, his cabin was not in wilderness but at the edge of town, about two miles (3 km) from his family home.
Carmen is struck again I lost another paragraph… For the better I'm sure.
Time to venture out to information space and see what else I can find to amuse myself…
