mxmtoon, also known as Maia, has dropped a new song.
This teenage singer/songwriter/ukulele player from Oakland is a charm.
Prom Dress is from last year’s debut, the masquerade, and Fever Dream, her latest.

Amanda Palmer
Amanda Palmer hasn’t recorded a proper solo album since 2008.
She’s been busy touring and recording live and occupying herself with side projects like Evelyn Evelyn, ukulele covers of Radiohead songs, theatre acting and the occasional tour with the Dresden Dolls.
Amanda Palmer & the Grand Theft Orchestra is due in September.
Via Kickstarter she has impressively raised over $800,000 to date to finance the album.
“Do It With a Rockstar” is the first song from the album and a free download.
Amanda Palmer
Amanda Palmer has always been one of my favorite artists. You never know quite what she will do next, from the Dresden Dolls to her solo projects, from the conjoined twins of Evelyn Evelyn to her various theatre performances. She’s profound and facetious, dramatic and silly. Always exotically charming and entertaining, she’s unique until herself and today we enter Amanda World once again with the release of Amanda Palmer Performs the Popular Hits of Radiohead on Her Magical Ukulele. She’s offering this 7-song EP for a minimum of a mere 84 cents. (54 cents must go to Radiohead for the rights and the other 30 cents to PayPal.) You can hear it here, download it here and support Amanda with some extra ducats. From the EP, “Idioteque” is the Song of the Day.
