ok. i know this is the third email you're getting so bear with me.

here is a bonus clip of me and edward in conversation for you, my dears. this, is of course, patron-only so please do not share.

since i knew this interview was going to be just for y'all - and we did it with that in mind. so please watch. a lot of the interview is ABOUT the patreon and ABOUT this very thing you're helping us accomplish.

once you've watched it, hit me in the comments below...if you'd like that we share it with the rest of the patreon (or world) later, we shall.

you can stream it on youtube here:

also...if you're wondering why i sent you a weird picture of me and the band and a random stranger up top here - that's not a stranger.

that man on the far left (standing next to edward - and that's patrick the violinist in the white shirt) is jason curtis, my first true love. we were together from the time i was 15 to about 19. he introduced me to the legendary pink dots (edward's band, and my heroes) and to so much other music that changed....my entire life. 

full.

fucking.

circle.

and he was so happy.

music is everything.

Share it with everyone! You are brilliantly right on the edge of all the things artistic patronage can do for the world, and I love how you talk about it in this video (but not your guilt - we all pay you for our own reasons, and you needn't feel bad about that).

I always feel like I am getting more than my money pays for when you 'thing' something :)

I'm listening to the recording and just heard Amanda describe her musical ties with the Legendary Pink Dots as a 15ish year old. This was exactly me with The Dresden Dolls. When I was about 14 my best friend told me to listen to Missed Me. I loved it and so began to follow the Dolls passionately and read every blog, media statement and was part of the forum. The Dolls helped me get through a difficult patch as a teen. I even bought the piano book to The Dresden Dolls despite no knowledge of the piano and taught myself how to play coin-operated boy. Even now as a 26 year old I love Amanda and the Dolls. Thanks Amanda. You are 'that' performer for me who has made a huge lasting impression on me. Look forward to seeing you next time you are in Melbourne!

It's special when you're at that point of full fucking circle. It's wonderful. Love.

I just say Thank you to you guys. The whole Spin a rainbow cycle was magical, and I'm proud to be part of this project. We love Art and Art has to be recognized and also payed. For me all this are beautiful gifts that I'm receiving from you. Music helps

Hi Amanda! I hardly ever log in here to comment, but I've just listened to the conversation between you and Edward. I get the feeling of guilt -- I've got an awesome job and always feel so lucky that I get to do something I enjoy, every bloody day. But I hope you don't feel too guilty every time you Thing something here, because I find you do Patreon really really well. Edward's right -- it's not just the song or video, it's all the other stuff you put in, the blogs, the long messages to us, the extra titbits, the photos, all of that stuff. I support a couple of other creators, and I'm always struck by the difference in their (lack of) communication and your method of exploring and adapting to the model as you go along. So happy to be a patron, thank you!

Amanda, would you please share the link to Edward's Bandcamp?
