A friend found Kim Boekbinder through, I think, @amandapalmer on twitter. This discovery has made me very happy. An amazing talent. Listen.

Like Amanda Palmer, Boekbinder (The Impossible Girl) is taking her cause to the internets. You can send money towards her upcoming album. It's such a cool idea and keeps artists in control of their art. Provide cash. You can get some awes stuff. Go here:

On to other current crushes - Amanda Palmer. Got to meet her recently in an Adelaide studio she was recording at, and saw her in the Garden. Amazing.
Check out this bit of purefuckingawesomeness the night several Adelaide fans (including my sister and I) got to lend our voices to a recording. (Have had 'New Zealand' stuck in my head ever since - youtube it!)

Many of us guests paid for the opportunity to see her again and she was absolutely lovely in the studio - told us what was happening, was funny and approachable. Was something else to be sitting at her feet as she played piano and ukulele, covered Radiohead and Nick Cave and drank red wine. Palmer goes to show that if you care about and engge with your fanbase, they will reward you with not just cash, but loyalty and admiration too.



And finally - one of my most enduring musical girl crushes is back. And she still rocks the crazy like no one else. Ms Courtney Love.
