From Left Field...

Okay guys, we have some reviews coming up for you (soon, I promise) but first I have a little side tracked question.

They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but where do you draw the line at imitation and just plain copying. This morning I was checking my email and noticed I had a friend request via MySpace. I'm all about networking for our site in any way possible but I still generally try to "know" a little bit about the people I'm adding. So I checked out this girl's site. Turns out she likes Amanda Palmer. A Lot. From her eyebrows down to her socks, her music style, and even her day job is quiet similar to the 8ft Bride living statue bit Amanda does (or did). And did I mention she's currently looking for a drummer?

As far as I can tell she's not doing this as a tribute act to the Dresden Dolls or trying to be the Australian Amanda (although some evidence points to the contrary). I mean, everyone is entitled to do their own thing and I do like her music because...well...I like Amanda Palmer, too. Please don't think I'm a bitch for calling her out because, really, I'm not trying to hate on her. It just struck me as a little curious this morning and I wondered how other people feel about this kind of thing.

Uneasy Lies The Head

Hey bitches.

So I know you've all been salivating lately, wondering just what has the guy that writes Gabriel been doing since WTC closed, other than being totally annoying to Maise and Iris?

Okay, maybe not salivating per se, but you've definitely not needed any help in the mastication department.

In any case, the answer is: Uneasy Lies The Head.

Please check out the MySpace page and give a listen or an add. I hope you dig. More content to come shortly.

(Oh, and Angelman will be joining me for live shows, JR, so you're really gonna be missing out on this one.)
