Amanda Palmer is involved with an extended group of scientologists including Neil Gaiman, who has donated six figures to Scientology and been named a Scientology Founding Patron. Palmer is a perfect candidate for Scientology, ambitious, narcissistic and willing to ruthlessly claw her way up. But even Palmer’s raw ambition can’t overcome the fact she lacks any talent at music or lyric writing. Gaiman and Palmer are working as a team, with the Scientology seal of approval. They got paired up to make money, that’s why their relationship was “launched” with pictures, a soundtrack, a self published vanity book, a poster and even a pair of goofy wobble dolls. Unfortunately for Scientology’s coffers, Gaiman’s career is on the downslide after writing so many bad scripts that tanked and Palmer got dumped by her record label because she can’t write a song to save her life, let alone sing. Scientologists manage the comments on any thread discussing their cash cows so you’ll see vehement defense of these idiots coupled with slathering, phony comments about how great they are. Most of the crap on the web about Palmer and Gaiman is written by them in their relentless attempt to control the dialogue.

[...] Part of my lack of coverage of All Points West this year had more to do with my general malaise toward the lineup in general AND due to the inclusion of Coldplay on the Sunday bill as headliner. I am not a super indie snob, but I just hate the hell out of them. [...]

Hey Lex, believe me, we were impressed by the AFP fan outrage as well. We had a lot of fun on that one and we were able to go over to the forums and talk with them as well. Good people who love Amanda and once they got that we were joking (a bit) it was all cool. Thanks for stopping by, feel free to look around and tell us what you think.

I must say, I am impressed with the AFP fan outrage. Amanda has a lot of devoted fans behind her. I personally love her to pieces, but I know she’s not for everyone. Most of my friends are not interested in listening. I, however, COULD punch most of this list right in the kisser.

Greg Gillis. Electronic music is still music, and, if after pouring everything into making a track all he has to do to play it live is press ‘enter’ so be it.

Don’t be so ignorant to say that all music has to be performed in standard rock-band set up. That’s stupid.

Artists who try to help those less fortunate than they really do deserve a punch in the face. I’d like to thank the Radio Exile Staff for being part of the solution.

Dude, to accuse someone else of being a poor journalist for a mistake in an article (which they corrected and thanked the person for) is silly. It is. Your initial statement was a diatribe against how much Inside Pulse and Widro suck, but I won’t argue with you and say that 411 sucks because I work with them for my day job and they’re good people. You came here and didn’t like the article and that’s cool, but if there are over 150 comments here (most of which I appreciate, but some are people really just trolling for attention as best they can) and that’s less than 1% of the article’s total traffic. The douchey comments by yours truly have been directed at those that wanted the attention, yourself included.

Also, with a tiny bit o’ research, you could see that not only is my digital footprint pretty solid, and in the process of looking, you would see that I am married. Thinking that I have limited contact with women because I am a writer is childish, and that’s an incredibly lame way to look at things and voice your opinion when you don’t agree.

That’s what I won’t argue with.

Yes, I knew what you were referring to. That time. Since you actually spelled things right and used the proper vocabulary. And I’m sorry I wasn’t cool enough to find this gem of an article when it was originally posted. My loss, I suppose. Though one wonders why you’d bother to link to it in newer articles if you didn’t want people coming late to the “party.” And yes, I can see how busy you are by the amount of replies to this article you have posted, calling people morons for not agreeing with you. The mark of a true journalist. And a busy one at that. Keep up the good work! I am sorry you don’t have the time to keep arguing with me, though. I’m having a lot of fun pointing out your mistakes and inconsistencies. Also, funny how you thank Sarah for berating you for using “nee” in the completely wrong context. I guess any conversation with a woman is a good one, huh bud?

No, the “party” in question was a month old article that you’re just finding now. I would take the time and argue with you, but I am just too busy being a “lousy writer” to care.

Haha, not a party, moron. I was reading the other lame “column” about musicians who need a hug. Seems like I struck a nerve with you. The fact that you reply to everyone’s posts calling them a “moron” or “lame” just speaks to your amateurish writing abilities and immature personality. Don’t post stuff like this if you can’t take the heat. Don’t worry, once you move out of your mom’s basement and stop listening to lame emo indie rock, maybe you’ll get a girl to pay attention to you. See Sarah’s post above mine. You try to sound smart, but you’re failing, and simply exposing your ignorance. You might want to think about taking a journalism class or two, as well. When trying to be a writer, it helps to, you know, know how to write. Good luck with all that.

Thanks for the correction, Sarah. With over 5K words to look over, I was bound to make some mistakes, but thank you for catching that. I have fixed to read (aka Yusuf Islam) as I think that is what I actually meant, and while I am usually a douche, I like Cat Stevens and just made a mistake.

LOL. Seriously? You’re a month late to the party and you think this bugs me? Lame.
