Amanda Palmer has released more details about her forthcoming album of Radiohead covers. It is called, 'AMANDA PALMER PERFORMS THE POPULAR HITS OF RADIOHEAD ON HER MAGICAL UKULELE' which is, obviously, a glorious title. And here is the most marvellous record sleeve >>The track listing is:
1. fake plastic trees
2. high and dry
3. no surprises
4. idioteque
5. creep (hungover at soundcheck in berlin)
6. exit music (for a film)
AND a special digital only bonus track:
7. creep (live in prague)
She says:
* the album will be available on bandcamp for a minimum donation of 84¢…some stuff i’d like you to know about that 84¢:
- 54¢ of it is going directly back into radiohead’s pockets (the cost of selling my covers of their songs)
- the remaining 30¢ will be going to paypal to cover the transaction fee
- should people (like YOU) choose to donate MORE than that, it’ll come directly to me - no label, no nothing
- i really would love for people to see this release and love it but maybe hopefully learn something from it about how artists get paid in this type of situation
She also says that we are now her record label and marketing division and I, for one, am both pleased and proud to be in that position. I've said it before and I'll say it again - it's the job of my heroes to produce art and product and it's my job to buy it and promote it.
Can't wait for the record!
