Palmer: DEAR DOWNLOADER of MUSIC, this store is built on a \u201cpay what you want\u201d philosophy for my digital music. i firmly believe in music being as free as possible. unlocked. shared and spread. i believe that in order for artists to survive and create, their audiences need to step up and directly support them. honor system.\u00a0\u00a0 no judgment. if you\u2019re broke \u2013 take it. if you love it, come back and kick in later when you have the money. if you\u2019re rich, think about who you might be karmically covering if you really love this record. once you have it, SHARE SHARE SHARE!

A comment by my real life pal \u00a0Robert Goldberg<\/a>:\u00a0\u201dOh. Speechless. Just this: I think maybe sometimes an avatar stops even pretending. She just perfunctorily slaps on some flesh makeup and burns light into the world, no matter how. Such a person will be known by smiles, tears and seeming miracles. She may even forget who she is. But she\u2019s an avatar all right. Wow.\u201d<\/p>\n

An awesome song here, good video, listen to her whispered words. Yes, listen. ASK also, but listen.\u00a0http:\/\/amandapalmer.net\/videos\/the-bed-song\/<\/a>\u00a0 Check out all her songs and videos. The lesson is all about connecting with people, asking and allowing them to share with you what they will.<\/p>\n
