The Power of the Power Failure – the first winner of the power failure songwriting contest, from NORWAY……is: Thomas Herlofsen! out of the first hundred or so submissions that i’ve been able to listen to, this one – “later i told you” stood out as a clear front-runner…..the lyrics didn’t just paint a simple picture, they painted a picture beyond the picture, o top of the picture…..and as soon as i heard the second verse, i was SOLD. (you’ll see why, my god). read more about the process and listen to the recording HERE.

June 28th, 2019

we decided to put the album up FOR CHARITY, since the patreon $$ covers all the basics. we aren’t putting it on the DSPs (digital service providers, i.e. iTunes, spotify, amazon music) to keep things simple, we are making it available ONLY to patrons as a download (for the download tier folk) and other than that, on bandcamp only.

THING #76: Voicemail For Jill (Official Music Video)

March 7th, 2019

Voicemail For Jill (Official Music Video) – i’ve said it before, when the song came out…..making a song about abortion is hard, and making a video for that song was even harder. but i knew what it had to be, and what it had to make you feel…if it worked. i think we made it work. i know it worked for me, because i cry every time i watch this video, and i’ve now seen it 20 times. read more about the making of the video on my patreon HERE.

THING #52: Amanda Palmer & Jasmine Power – Mr. Weinstein Will See You Now

May 22nd, 2018

Mr. Weinstein Will See You Now – I’ve been fiddling in my own head for months with ideas for songs and tunes to address the #MeToo movement, and it’s such a hard thing to write about it. It’s so personal to these women, these stories, and it felt to wrong to write something funny and cabaret; the topic is too harrowing. It’s not surprising that, just like the movement itself, it took two women getting into a room together, comparing notes and joining forces to create something almost like an anthem for taking back our narrative. read the full backstory and listen to the song HERE.
