Peter and the Wolf and some short thoughts before bed

By Corinne | Published: January 17, 2010
Since it was free, I decided to attempt to navigate the Financial District (evil named non-numbered streets!) to see Neil Gaiman (one of my favorite authors ever!) do a reading of Peter and the Wolf, with the Knickerbocker Chamber Orchestra. First event I’d gone to with him there, and I figured I could use a [...]

Amanda Palmer in NYC

By Corinne | Published: June 7, 2009
The date was June 5, 2009. Going back through my archives, I remember admitting that I had a growing obsession with Miss Amanda Palmer in late February (post here). 3 months before I got to see this force of nature in person. Behind a crowd that was 5-7 people deep. My best friend and I showed [...]

“I wanna eat Nutella” - AFP/Umbrella

By Corinne | Published: April 29, 2009
And, before I disappear into real life again, here are two pretty neat videos I found in the last …week? since I’ve posted. A guy does an acoustic cover to Radiohead - Creep (who hasn’t done this yet?), BUT it’s the audio for a pretty neat video piece. Check it out below. Someone programmed these bits of [...]

Teeny obsession filled

By Corinne | Published: April 21, 2009
I’ve had a few posts about the wonderfully talented AFP already. And I’m already a fan of Neil Gaiman — have been for at least a decade at this point. If you haven’t heard of him, you should check his work out. I loves it. I should probably have a post about him soonish. So, [...]

Concert Outlook: dredg and amanda palmer

By Corinne | Published: April 18, 2009
I can count the number of concerts I’ve been to in my life on one hand and 2 extra fingers. My first one was Bush with Veruca Salt opening back in 1997. Right during standardized test week. It was at MSG, and when I got the scores back several weeks later — all the tests [...]

Dresden Dolls to SockDreams

By Corinne | Published: February 27, 2009
I can’t believe I haven’t heard of The Dresden Dolls till now. So I give you Amanda Palmer at the Boston Pops with ‘Coin Operated Boy’. “COIN OPERATED BOY”, AMANDA PALMER PLAYING BOSTON POPS from Cloud Club on Vimeo. I actually saw ‘Missed Me’ on YouTube first. But, still, they’re both ridiculously catchy. At any rate, Amanda’s fashion [...]
