00:00Which brings up the larger issue of Kickstarter as a whole, most of these campaigns aren't
00:12people who need the money, they're just people who want it.
00:15We're talking about people like the indie musician Amanda Palmer.
00:17We're allowed to just fucking help each other, it's like, SHIT!
00:20I get a lot of hate, especially if you're someone like me who says inappropriate shit
00:49constantly and is by no means playing by anyone's rules.
00:54I put up a blog saying, we are looking for volunteer musicians, we just thought it would
00:59be fun for the fans.
01:01And it was, but the story turned into Amanda Palmer doesn't pay her band.
01:08There was some backlash to just my Kickstarter, a lot of people were like, you should be able
01:13to find some other way of getting money, Amanda, and I was like, this is the way.
01:18Sometimes it gets too much and I collapse and cry and shake my fist at God and then
01:22get up again and do something productive.
01:28The house parties feel like the core of what I fucking do.
01:32Be with some people and play music for them.
01:41Artists will keep making art, the way we do it is in massive flux right now, but it's
01:48fine, you need to embrace the flux.
