Amanda Palmer? Yummy. Though, part of me wanted to run screaming in the other direction when I found out this solo record was a collaboration with Ben Folds. There is only one Folds song that I can remember (“Army”) that doesn’t make me want to shove an ice pick into my ear. On the other hand, I loved Palmer’s Dresden Dolls so much that it hurt. So what was a fella to do? Why, run right out and get Who Killed Amanda Palmer, of course!
