Dresden Doll Amanda Palmer and Coraline author Neil Gaiman performed together Wednesday night for the second installment of SPIN.com's Liner Notes, an event that pairs musicians and writers in a unique live collaboration to raise funds for homeless and low-income New Yorkers living with AIDS.

Palmer and Gaiman, who have been dating for months, both demonstrated their craft -- Gaiman read from Who Killed Amanda Palmer, a conceptual photo book featuring pics of the Dresden Dolls singer staged in various poses of death, and Palmer played songs from her 2008 album of the same name.

Devout fans of both artists packed the 300-person venue. Moby even looked on from side stage.

Gaiman read a disturbing comic piece about a man working as a living statue who stalks a young woman. The story was inspired by the living statues in Krakow, Poland, he explained.

After a few songs on the piano, Palmer switched to ukulele to play a tune she wrote about her parents' decision to sell the house she grew up in.

The couple cozy up to stacks upon stacks of books at Housing Works.

Palmer and Gaiman auctioned off the first copy of Who Killed Amanda Palmer (out July 7). It sold for $1300 -- all of which goes to charity!

Palmer sang "Perfect Fit," which, she explained, was written during her time working as a human statue in Boston's Harvard Square.

The two-hour show capped with a fan autograph session.
