I am a total whore for the Dresden Dolls. Ever since I heard Miss Me from their first album a while ago I have been fascinated with the power of Amand’s lyricism and the way that Brian plays.

I really relate with the songs on these albums because of my family background (which I am sure is something that Amanda hears often) and the struggle that I have faced to not repeat abuses dealt to me and to break the cycle of behaviour.

I love Brain’s playing because of the way that he gives voice to his kit. He doesn’t just keep time with snare and bass, but each of his drums are a different note within a different instrument. There is nothing that is as pure an example of this than the drum introduction to Half Jack on the Paradise DVD.

Amanda and Brian.. you have expanded my mind. Thankyou.

When I stayed with Aaron in Conneticut he took me to The Cold Stone Creamery. I had cotton candy icecream with gummibears and m&m’s in it. I could not get over the fact that the icecream tasted like REAL cotton candy.

I ended up begging him four or five times if we could go and I got the same concoction each and every time.
