Ragamuffin Stew

My favourite Brechtian punk cabaret ragamuffins, The Dresden Dolls, have been updating the photos on their MySpace site which I drop in on every now and then (they're the only reason I'm on MySpace - I just don't 'get' it). So here, for your delight and delectation, are two lovely photos:

This first one was shot in Barcelona (therefore it must be good) with Miss Palmer striking an interesting pose.

This one is called 'the dolls in hell' and is by Amanda (it's dated 2005). It's quite eerie and Edwardian, as they walk, bowed, towards the exit sign, but hand in hand.

Both Dolls now have their own MySpace sites as well as the joint one and have been firing off blogs recently about what they're getting up to now that 'The Onion Cellar' is over. Brian is up, up and away with him doing drum surgeries, getting involved in stuff at Harvard, playing with other bands and generally enjoying himself. Amanda seems to have gone the other way, missing their togetherness, having accidents, drinking and generally seems a bit on the dark side. I worry about her. On the other hand, she seems to be working on an album of 'Fuck The Back Row' material so that's a good thing. But I'm still waiting for the DVD of the Roundhouse shows...
