Ok, so I was just surfing and came across this article, about musician Amanda Palmer and her spat with her label, Roadrunner Records. Apparently.... (From Den of Geek.com) : "Sexism is alive and thriving at Roadrunner Records, where cabaret punk Amanda Palmer faced a head-slapping row over her “Leeds United” video. The label wanted to edit/alter a few shots of Palmer’s stomach they felt could “be more flattering.” Ironic, considering the fact that most of the dudes in the metal bands on Roadrunner are so fugly beyond Thunderdome that even the most EXTREME EXTREME makeovers couldn’t bring them within half an hour of flattering. Anyway, Amanda told her RR bosses to get real and leave the video alone. They complied, but later condescended/sideways complimented her into a complete rage; Palmer asked to be dropped from the home of Slipknot. The home of Slipknot refused. You must read Amanda’s blog entry detailing the entire affair. And I foolishly thought macho industry bullcrap couldn’t exist within the label that currently brings us Sammy Hagar." So I headed over to Amanda's blog and checked out the story....and THIS is the belly RR was so disparaging about:  What....the f***? Really? Anyway, in my mind, this is total BS. I think I just became an Amanda Palmer fan. ;D |

I'm not a fan of her music but I think she's pretty smart and has a good point. Roadrunner was a weird fit anyway. I'm sure there will be dozens of labels chomping at the bit to sign her and The Dresden Dolls.

Coming from someone who supports this Re-Bellyon and submitted his rotund belly to the official Dresden Dolls fanboard, what Roadrunner did was bull. You should see all the fans that supported it and posted pictures of their bellies in support of Amanda. About 3-400 pictures just on the message board alone bared their bellies in support. Plus, it helps that Amanda Palmer is hawt!

Well, it's on another forum, and the posting of the link will make Madison cry and ask you to take down the link. But it's named The Shadowbox, which is an awesoem forum. |

I love how, when you click on it, it comes up as "amanda f***ing palmer". Something about that just makes me think she's a cool chick. I can't explain it.

Oh, only one of the most talented artists in the history of...stuff. Seriously though, this woman is amazing. And Roadrunner is full of shit. Seriously, it's just unf***ingbelievable what they did. But she and Brian will undoubtedly find a better label to be on. And one that won't think she's fat. Really guys? Amanda Palmer is fat? Ha. |

A lot of stuff, both with her band The Dresden Dolls, and her solo record that just came out. LANGUAGE WARNING: Backstabber: Sex Changes: Leeds United, the video that caused all this ruckus: |

I adore this woman. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when she went off on the execs.

Huh...seems to me they should have been more concerned with the make-up job than her tummy in that Leeds United video. She's a pretty girl, but that makeup was HIDEOUS.

She has a great voice. |

I have found Roadrunner to be one of the worst labels for quality music.

And the eyebrows actually aren't makeup. Those are tattoos. |
