Very cool read on The Dresden Dolls review. I find that their first album is interesting, but isn't my favorite work by the duo. I much preferred much of No Virginia, particularly the overall vibe and delivery of that (although it was mainly b-sides from their sophomore effort Yes Virginia.)
Also, Amanda Palmer's solo effort may be well worth a listen. It's not as bizarre as DD, but it does feature some of Palmer's better songwriting. The song "Blake Says" from her solo album is one of the most depressing things I've ever heard in my life. In a more subtle way, really.
