Amanda Palmer goes Down Under

The vegemite song is a classic as ever, but her rendition of The Ship Song saddens me. It lacks the rhythm of the original. Nay, rhythm is not the right word. "Bad Wine and Lemon Cake", the duet with the Jane Austen Argument, is still soft and gentle. "Formidable Marinade" with is exquisitively cabaretesque.
