When you hear about the Dresden Dolls, you generally hear from the magnanimous and charismatic front lady Amanda Palmer. But now that their latest CD—No, Virginia—is in stores now, we went to Mr. Viglione, the punk rock and free jazz fanatic who too often sits behind the kit for Ms. Palmer.

 

I'VE ALREADY ADDED TRACKS FROM YES, VIRGINIA... TO MY IPOD. WHY SHOULD I ADD NO, VIRGINIA?

That's kind of like asking, "I just had a hot make-out session with my girlfriend in bed and already took off my shirt. Why should I take off the rest?" If it was enjoyable up to that point, it might be worth exploring it further.

 

HOW DOES THE NEW RECORD DEPART FROM YES?

No, Virginia is a catchier, quicker-paced album.

 

IF YOU WERE A CAT, WHAT KIND OF TREE WOULD YOU BE?

I'M MODERATELY INFATUATED WITH YOU. WILL YOU BE MY DATE TO SENIOR PROM?

Thank you for the compliment, but one prom was torture enough.

 

PLEASE COMPOSE AN ORIGINAL HAIKU ABOUT EITHER YOUR CHOICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE OR WHY PEOPLE SHOULD BUY THE NEW DRESDEN DOLLS RECORD.

Barrack, Hillary,

They both rock our new album

McCain ran screaming

Rooooll call!Rooooll call!So, the roll call vote feels more like a game show than a democratic process. It basically goes like this:

Secretary Alice Germond (the host in our little metaphor), says the name of the state, and the giant screen behind her sports the state's name, and how many votes it's been afforded.

"State," says Germond.


Night Two of Pageantry

On Monday night, your trusty Dig reporter was relegated to the press gallery, and spent an hour and a half trying to find the damn booth for rotating floor credentials, being sent up and down the stairs, getting a different answer from every DNCC staffer. It made my thighs slightly stronger and the ball of rage in my stomach significantly heavier. It made me wonder how the Dems would run a country, when they can't credential a reporter. But last night I found the magic booth and got onto the floor, so all is forgiven.
