Equal parts piano siren, art agitator and punk-pop priestess, Amanda Palmer's performance instincts have energized her band The Dresden Dolls' gothic cabarets since 2001. But she has since decided to take a stab at a solo effort, and called upon...
"If there's no one beside you,when your soul embarks,then I'll follow you into the dark."I Will Follow You Into the Dark (cover) ~ Amanda PalmerI am not quite sure what my beliefs are in regards to souls, and where we end up after this life. I have moments where I think I believe in some things, and inklings on my feelings about other things, but in the end I tend to believe in the possibility ...

Breaking from previous installments of the Who Killed Amanda Palmer series , the video finds Palmer going to a party, drinking a 40 too fast, getting date raped by a Bavarian, subseq...
