I got into the Dresden Dolls in 2003 and I am a major, major fan of theirs. I really do love her music, both with the Dolls and solo.

I always thought the point of the outfits -- whiteface, the striped tights, the bowler hat, etc. -- was to sort of pick a shtick that made a statement but didn't obscure the music. I could be wrong.

By somewhere around late 2005/early 2006 it seemed to me that the sideshow had begun to obscure the music. Like, to the point where I would go to a show, and the Dresden Dolls would only play after an hour and a half of burlesque dancers and circus performers and Amanda would make speeches about art and about the message and so on.

So yeah, I get what's going on. Her background is in street performance. And my god, I love her music, but to actually hear her music at this point, you have to wade through three feet of overly indulgent artistic bullcrap. And I still adore the music, so I'll do it. But it annoys me.

This isn't me not understanding the 'art.' I get it. I just wish the art didn't get in the way of the music.

(And, well, some of her 'art' just isn't that original. And slowly it's becoming less subtle.)
