Musician and generally awesome woman, Amanda Palmer would be a total curve ball, but what a curve ball to throw in. Not massively well known in the UK, this singer, pianist and chief song writer in the Dresden Dolls, as well as a solo career to boot, Palmer is tremendously fascinating. Shes shown a wicked sense of humour in the past, and her dealings with, and reaction to, the Daily Mail reporting news of her wardrobe malfunction were just beautiful. Shed have plenty to say, as the influences in her song writing prove.
