Best Video: Amanda Palmer "The Art of Asking"

3/7/13

White people love TED, everyone knows this. Amanda Palmer, last seen around these parts with her best music video, "The Bed Song," is white, so of course she gave a talk to other white people at TED's 2013 conference.

Now please don't let my lazy and snarky comments deter you from watching this very insightful presentation entitled "The Art of Asking." It's a really fantastic piece about the exchange of art and connecting with fans. This is absolutely something every aspiring artist or creative person should watch.

And even if the above signifiers don't apply to you, watch it anyway. There's something worthwhile here for everyone.

Ms. Palmer is currently on tour now with her band The Grand Theft Orchestra. Check out her official site for the dates and other info.
