We recently had the good fortunate to chat with Amanda Palmer about her role in creating and putting on "The Needle That Sings in Her Heart" (tentative title), a play ("a play that uses music... not a musical," according to Palmer) based on Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. Palmer created the show with her former drama teacher Steven Bogart as well as a cast of students at Lexington High School.

Feministing tells us that Roadrunner Records apparently asked Dresden Doll Amanda Palmer to cut images of her "fat" belly from her new music video, "Leeds United" (above). (Maybe that's just what happens when you're on the same label as Nickelback?) It's rumored that Palmer has left the label over the lipid lividity, but her blog doesn't confirm this.

In late January, the Dresden Dolls' Amanda Palmer told fans on her MySpace page that she would soon be going under the knife. Nodes had formed on the pianist/singer's vocal cords, and it would require surgery to remove them and get her throat back into shape.

Rob Vassegh of Cheap Thrills Boston sent Bostonist an interview he did with the amazing Titler, who will be performing tonight. For more about getting your kicks in Boston on the cheap, go to Cheap Thrills Boston.

--The Dresden Dolls will be at the Orpheum. Meow Meow, whom Bostonist had the pleasure at seeing at Sxip's Hour of Charm, will open. It's hard to explain what Meow Meow does exactly, but she is on a mission of seduction. 7:30 pm.

Have you played a show in Boston over within the last 18 months? Have you ever crashed on a Boston couch? Do you know someone who did? If so, check out the Boston Music Award nominations. You or they just might be nominated. Listen, we actually enjoy the fact that local musicians are honored once a year through the BMAs. Sure, it's always dominated by the usual suspects (Aerosmith, Dropkick Murphys, Dresden Dolls and, most...

We told you a couple of weeks ago about how Boston punk cabaret artist ("musician" doesn't seem to sum it up quite right) Amanda Palmer tried in vain to auction off her 1992 Volvo.

There may or may not soon be an interesting auction on eBay for Dresden Dolls fans.

Because Akon obviously isn't getting enough exposure these days, Congress threw their weight around and has all but boxed the little guy out of providing radio service to rabid fans. Ever since midi files essentially died and MP3s rose from the ashes, streaming audio has been a source for many to listen to and discover new bands via the Internet. Locally, Sooz has been creating and updating Exploit Boston Radio featuring all local bands, all the time. Bostonist first discovered the Casual Lean, the Snowleopards, and Bang Camaro while tuning in to the Internet stream. But today, along with a Boston Globe article on the subject, Sooz announced that there might not be a long future for Exploit Boston Radio if the current royalty hikes take hold. They'd force a minimum of $500 in fees for even the tiniest of stations, for big stations and streams of live radio the sky will be the limit for their required royalty payment.

Bostonist has been a fan of the Dresden Dolls for some time now, so we were quite excited when we learned of their collaboration with the ART for a play of sorts called "The Onion Cellar." We finally had a chance to see the performance this week.

If you ventured out after Thursday's holiday to participate in the great American tradition – shopping – you likely were subjected to all sorts of Christmas music. From Clay's Merry Christmas with Love to Nat King Cole's classics it's upon us. More and more radio stations are picking up the radio formatting. It may not be "too early" but it's certainly not what you'll find if you check out this weeks shows. And remember you can always catch 24/7 streaming of Boston's (no xmas tunes) local rock on Exploit Boston Radio to get you through December.

The temperature heats up a little this week. There will be a bit more humidity in the air. But unlike last week we're not going to be engaged in the same mad-dash around the city every night to catch all the good music. This week we can take our pick, settle in with a pint, and catch the good tunes at a single venue. Fantastic line-ups mark this weeks picks. From the opening band...

In a world where there's nothing to do but watch movies. In a city full of theaters, museums, and libraries. One moviegoer who can be in three places at once. This week's films promise to be festive, well-attended events for their respective niches: Bollywood, science fiction, anime, and self-identified "Brechtian punk cabaret" enthusiasts. Bostonist is especially psyched that Krrish's Massachusetts premiere isn't a day later than its release in India, and that no amount of...

Bostonist had the opportunity to attend the Dresden Dolls show at the Orpheum Friday evening. It was quite the spectacle - a local act returning home after hitting the big-time.

Find below a few suggestions from our staff for your evening of love, like, or lust.

We live in an iTunes nation. It's easy to pull a track down to your pod for under a buck. Bostonist still longs for cover art, liner notes, and that masterwork that is a multi-track collection of songs we call an album. Listed here is our much discussed, unbiased by payola, top 25 albums of 2005. After the jump you'll find where some of us stand individually on the subject of the years best. (Apparently...

Across the river, Zuzu's has their Electrosocial night with Plunge Into Death and Cyanide Valentine, with dancing provided by DJ MicL Pvtn. It's your best bet, and fun is guaranteed. Oh, and of course, there are arty noisy options over at Great Scott, so kick it over there after Hornby-time:We Are Wolves, Coughs, and Where Are You From? Are You In School? (Guess which band is from Boston, Boston.)
