Wow. Yeah, really really don't. People are so hateful.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Come on, Amy. I used the capital letters and everything to try to warn you.
I know! But I'm contrary. I had to peek.
Whoo, the comments are an entertaining train wreck. Wow.
Not having read the comments nor done more than skimmed the article, I have a serious problem with a national magazine paying a writer to talk about how awesome his girlfriend's band is.
Fiancée.
I saw a wedding picture of them in Twitter somewhere. She was in bridal gear, but also made up as a statue, and they were on courthouse-like steps, with what looked like an officiant.
Still, I don't know if that means they're actually married yet or were just doing a cool photo.

Well before Dresden Dolls, she used to do the living statue thing in Harvard Square.
They're not married yet.

Gee, I wish I still cared about journalistic standards in the music press. But that's a bit quixotic for me at this stage. I mean, there's barely any professional music press which isn't primarily cocksuckery. You have to go to the enthusiastic amateurs to get opinions and critique which are UnSpun.
Fuck, even Rolling Stone in its heydey killed innumerable bad reviews because Jan Wenner wouldn't have it.

Enh. When I read the article I figured it was published because (a) Gaiman writes pretty and (b) it's an insider/outsider look at the Dresden Dolls. I didn't take it as a review of the show or the band. (And I say this as someone who has only read *some* of Gaiman's work and has only a glancing familiarity with Palmer as a solo artist and next-to-no familiarity with the Dresden Dolls).
