"If you see Amanda Palmer on the street, kill her."

Neil Gaiman, author of award-winning children's tale Coraline, is reading from Who Killed Amanda Palmer, a conceptual photo book featuring pics of the Dresden Dolls singer staged in various poses of death. Gaiman wrote the macabre text.

Amanda Palmer is a sharer. The Dresden Doll/solo musician's life as an artist is an open book. Check out the "short" history she's posted about the making of her 2008 album, Who Killed Amanda Palmer.

General admission tickets might be sold out for Liner Notes -- our June 3 music-meets-literature benefit event in New York starring Dresden Doll singer and solo musician Amanda Palmer and best-selling author Neil Gaiman (Coraline) -- but now there's another way to get into the show, and contribute to a good cause at the same time.

This June, music and literature will join forces to save lives.

Dresden Doll singer and solo musician Amanda Palmer and best-selling author Neil Gaiman (Coraline) will headline SPIN's second installation of Liner Notes, a special event in New York City that brings together two different artists for one cause -- raising funds to support New Yorkers living with HIV/AIDS.

Last Christmas Eve, singer Amanda Palmer posted a message on her blog: "If you hadn't noticed, all of the Dresden Dolls and Amanda Palmer official videos have been taken off YouTube. I loved my videos. Now they are gone...Did I mention that being on a major label is starting to seem like...not such a grand idea?"

What? Amanda Palmer's just-released record isn't simply a collection of songs, but a full fledged multimedia experience that includes an exclusive online video series and a companion book of photography.
