Song of the Day - April 27, 2006

I have been anxiously awaiting the new Dresden Dolls album Yes, Virginia. I adore their punk cabaret style; very few other bands have the courage to pull off what the Dresden Dolls do with such success. Their fans are practically a cult contributing artwork, video, sculpture, plays, etc. to the Dresden Doll's unique brand of performance art. A few of my favorite tracks include the frantic "Modern Moonlight," the soaring vocals of Amanda Palmer on "Delilah," and the angry "Backstabber." However, my favorite track is "Dirty Business" with its alternating fast and slow passages, brief toy-like piano sounds, and Amanda's dynamic vocals. The Dresden Dolls will be performing at Lollapolooza this summer and I will be there. Look for me up front near the stage. Click here to listen.
