Amanda Palmer is pretty awesome. She founded the Dresden Dolls, she has a productive solo career, she is going to marry Neil Gaiman, she is starring in Cabaret at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, MA right now, and apparently she plays a mean ukulele. Palmer's album of Radiohead ukulele covers is downright powerful. The ukulele is cute and catchy, but it is her voice that steals the show. Gone are Thom Yorke's wispy murmurs and cries and in their place are Palmer's bold and plaintive pipes. Wow. She just crushes all of the seven covers on the album. Oh yeah and she went to my high school - no biggie.
