Musicians and groups desperately need venues like The Rat. Too bad there are so few of them left.

+1.  It also takes a special location and environment for places like that to thrive.  That nexus used to be easier to find- but these days, not so much.

Modified because I saw this part of the quote "the club finally closed its doors in 1997 amid a movement toward gentrification."  That's part of a problem, unfortunately.

And one final note on AFP - she's married to Neil Gaiman which is definitely way cool. :)

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."

They went on to get married, then really married later... but that quote is pretty awesome all by itself.

Yup! She doesn't have that middle-F in her initials for nothing. She earned it. ;D :Thmbsup:

This seems to be the Amanda Palmer thread:

she's playing about 9;30 tonight (ET) at the 'Seeger Fest' (in about 5 hours or less) which is being streamed live:
http://www.seegerfest.org/

that's well past my CET bedtime, so hope to get to see it on youtube. Be interesting to see what she plays in that scenario.

their idea of what constitutes a livestream is different from mine - they do have a 3+ hour video up there, but it's the same one today as yesterday...
but yeah, it's on YT, just a bit of fun really:
