Amanda Palmer Sings Lady Gaga's "Pokerface"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE6owd3AfBc

Thank you Amanda Palmer for inserting the rant below and somehow making this song more musical and giving a performance of real empowerment! Hooray! Really worth watching.

she's a consumer and a product
art of conduct
cause she's buying what she's selling
she's not lying, she's just trying to write songs rebelling
just like madonna in the 80's
lumping with her simulcrum
on this logical musical continuum
she typifies Baudrillard's argument
we no longer have the ability to make sense of the distinction between nature and artifice
thus a new culture emerges where
feminity can be read as artifice
the women as signifier

Keith Cary and Bob Armstrong at Old Soul in the Guild Theater Building, Sacramento March 20 2010

It's always a pleasure to hear and see Bob and Keith, and lately Bob (also creator of Mickey Rat, illustrator of Martin cowboy guitars among many other things) has been busting out this awesome Neronde accordion lately. Look up Keith Cary and you'll be amazed what you find too.

This is one of my favorite songs performed by the Sour Mash. They are street performers, so I bet they sing it from the heart! I appreciate that.

the sluggish beast lumbers towards town - by Julie the Bruce

Here is a little song I came up with this morning on a free bass accordion, a little trainer version. Free bass accordion has a different way of arranging the bass keys than a traditional piano accordion. Therefore I had no way of knowing what pattern the bass keys were in, at least, I haven't learned it yet.
This is a song for all creatures of Halloween forgotten and all the monsters that don't scare us anymore.
