When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it blog.



hey it's hard .. nothing rhymes with blog.
Flog, log, jog, cog, dog, clog, bog, frog, grog, hog, sog (uncommon).

I'm not trying to be malicious, I'm just sayin' this for the hell of it.

I think "Let It Blog" might be a nice song.

the only sad part right now is how different amanda and brian's stories/wants seem to be.
This.

i urge you to go re-watch that avril video. the pain was real, dude
wow, at the time that came out I never in a million years would've made any correlation between that and the state of the Dresden Dolls. Now, in light of all this shit that's just gone down, it just really illuminates the situation...

When I'm alone
I feel so much better
And when I'm around you
I don't feel

Together
It doesn't feel right at all
Together
Together we've built a wall
Together holding hands we'll fall

Who would've thought that we'd be using freaking Avril Lavigne lyrics to interpret the demise of the Dresden Dolls  :'(

ahh sadness, sadness. However, on the bright side, both A & B are going fantastically in their respective endeavours, and the Dolls have left us with a bunch of great records and memories enough to tide us over until they are eventually ready to make music together once again. I'm sure that day will come.

long live rock love

Amanda, thank-you so much for your honesty!  That can't have been the easiest blog to write, but I'm sure I'm not the only one that appreciates the fact that you wrote it.

I've already done my big spiel to you and Brian in the positivity thread so I won't repeat myself here.  However, I just wanted to say that you guys rock, both together and individually and I will follow you in your solo careers, and I hope to see you together again some day.

By the way Amanda - the surf is good in Australia...........

Best of luck with your tour and with WKAP!  Hope everything goes well for you (and don't stress out too much about all this stuff - we still love you! :) ).

This is classy.

I don't mean that sarcastically. I don't mean that in juxtaposition to the way in which Brian's reaction has been largely perceived.

It's classy.

i just re-watched it. i have a different view of it now, for sure.

It is illuminating, and kind of really sadly ironic. I cried when I watched it this time, the first time it was just like, "Oh, that was fun...."

or about how hard it was not to blog about all this stuff when it was happening because it would have felt unfair and somehow classless.
(i relied on other outlets. my other friends. my solo record. and youtube. i urge you to go re-watch that avril video. the pain was real, dude).


this is so disturbing. I'm not sure how to say this without making it sound overdramatically like I feel betrayed (because that is not true). But I would give all the intimate blogs about sponges and everything else for one that covers what is really going on.
It's like "yeah i can talk about everything. that's the concept. breaking tabus, questioning limits..." sure, it is a different situation because it's an internal problem and writing might hurt brian/whoever and actually is nobodys business. but on the other hand if that is REALLY what she feels? it is fucking important. important to deal with it like with everything else. and important to keep the spirit of the blunt writing alive. and it seems to me, that NOT writing about it has somethig offending, too, if you can write about fucking anything else.
how many levels of truth are there? how much of all this was covered by other stories/means of expression? and how much distance do you have to get before you actually can write aboout something? but is it still true then after the wait?
i'm sorry. i'm uber sleep deprived and frustrated because i'm naive. learned something new today. just ignore me., I'll probably delete my post in a minute or two.

and yeah to gender stereotype books...

having said that, i think it's absolutely amazing that they stop now, although getting so much positive feedback (at least what i read...) for no,virginia and everything else, but because they're not feeling it right now. do what you want, but DO it, and if it's only half-assed stay away. long live the punk cabaret:)
