The lyrics sound a bit stereotypical of males but I guess it is one big sarcasm so I don't mind it. I like this song.

"All I know is that all around the nation
the girls are crying, the boys are masturbating"

Great lyric

Amanda Palmer looks quite sexy in this video, not really the photo model type of sexyness but her charisma is top.

I'm really starting to love the Dresden Dolls. I've never seen of any of their videos before, very neat.

I didn't like "No, Virginia" much. But Amanda Palmer's solo album is damn good. Especially "Astronaut"! !! ^__^

I'd have to say I like their first album the best. I love the song about gravity. I would also like to point out that no, they are not a Hot Topic band. They may have a few items there, but they are trying so hard to kick the "goth" stereotype, as far as I know. And HT is going more towards new bands at this point anyway.. and honestly, most of those are hardcore, emo, screamo, that sort of thing.

Absolutely amazing. I fell in love with them shortly after the first album was released. I prefer the debut album over the others, but some newer tracks ('Sing', for example) stand out to me.

Oh, how I'd kill to see them live...

Haven's heard Amanda solo but generally I dislike those solo side-projects because it always makes me worry about the future of the band. Although in terms of the Dolls, they seem to have explicitly stated that Dresden Dolls are remaining intact and that there is not the slightest sign of a possible hiatus or break-up. I do think lot of people underrate Brian Viglione's input in the band.

The Dresden Dolls are awesome. I really need to buy their CDs!

I love their lyrics. Very good sense of humour.
And that is why the girl is called a tease,
And that is why the guy is called a sleaze,
And that's why God made escort agencies... :lol:

I didn't know Amanda's solo stuff was out yet! I'll go check it out - thanks Veresae!
