EVERYBODY, RT. i’m doing a live twitter Q&A right NOW. new album, new tour, new artbook...my first huge record made with 100% patronage: THERE WILL BE NO INTERMISSION. ask shamelessly, the artist is IN. info at: nointermission.amandapalmer.net #AskNoIntermission
FIVE. HANKY. RECORD.
yes. that song was probably “the ride” or “death thing” - both of which made it onto the album. (and are awesome.)
i’m taking off july and august to collapse with @neilhimself and our three-year-old, ash. :) then i hit europe and the UK and australia. those dates will get announced later ....
WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR THE PRODUCTION ON THE SONG YOU WILL DIE
liberating yet terrifying. WHO AM I
oooh thank you for the heads up!!! i’ll bring my cape.
Q: #AskNoIntermission I'm always curious about song sequencing on an album. what helped guide the decision making for order of songs on "No Intermission" thx

loss. grief. motherhood. influences. fear. abortion. cancer. miscarriage. IT’S A LAUGH A MINUTE, I TELL YOU. GUT-BUSTING.
Q: @amandapalmer Did you know that you'll be in Denver on Comic Con weekend? I feel like that's a sign! I'm not sure what it means... but it seems like a harbinger of fabulous things to come ... #asknointermission

this is a theater show. it’s a sit down and listen show. there was no way i was gonna make people stand through this kind of experience. also, many of the songs are quiet. so all that.
Q: #AskNoIntermission i noticed some of the tracks are named with parts of another songs so is it something like melodrama with liability or like bsides that made into the a side

this record is the deepest and direct i’ve ever written. so if you’ve been moved in the past, this one is like mainlining. it’s just one gut-punching song after another. i wrote them to survive the last 6 years, so i assume they will resonate with others trying to survive.
hahaha. just @jasonwebley on one song. it’s perfect. i wrote that song on his houseboat and he recorded the demo there as well. full circle. 🎡
prouder than anything i’ve ever done. including the last book. and like i’m fully liberated from a lot of things.
very probably. xxx
i’m sure those will find their moments. they didn’t fit on this album, if you know what i mean. they could be future @dresdendolls songs 😱
YES. I FUCKING AM. THIS BABY LIT A FIRE UNDER MY ASS TO BE AN UNAPOLOGETIC ART MOTHERFUCKER MOTHER. i was worried that i would die an art death when i became a mother. instead, i became fearless.
UK/europe dates will be announced in february.
this tour is going to be my VERY FIRST global tour with just an acoustic piano. (and a little ukulele). it’s just me, on stage, in giant theaters, playing songs and talking. it’s going to be really powerful. i’m excited.
hahaha we are working very hard at taking care of a marriage and a goddamn toddler. that’s enough for right now. 😬
Q: @amandapalmer What are you most proud of in the creation of this album? #AskNoIntermission

actually, two of the songs on this album were crowd-sources through my blog on patreon: “drowning in the sound” and “the ride”. everybody helped. x
it feels like giving birth after being pregnant for a long time. without the labor pains; but with added fear of criticism. (i would have loved it if they’d come to review my birth. (@pitchfork would have given it an 8.2....really great but minus 1.8 points for “trying too hard”)
Q: #AskNoIntermission I’m going to my first AFP show when you come to STL, I’m also going by myself. I’m excited and anxious. What are your favorite things about your shows?

this album has a lot of punk cabaret in it. “look mummy no hands” is LITERALLY a cabaret song...and “machete” is punk af. so yeah.
nope.
OOOH GOOD ONE. 1: “dilate” by @AniDifranco and 2: “skeleton tree” by @nickcave - which i listened to a lot while recording. it was my beacon.
thank you. making this record was an unavoidable pleasure for me.
I AM ON FIRE !!!! THANK YOU FOR ASKING. I LOVE YOU TOO.
Q: Do you ever feel an albums complete or does the perfectionist in you always feel you could change this or that? #AskNoIntermission
