Happy birthday, Amanda Palmer
If you know who Amanda Palmer is and you already like her work, awesome.

If you don't know Amanda Palmer's work, please check out her stuff below.
Amanda Palmer, mainly known as the even-more-awesome half of The Dresden Dolls, has an album out called Who Killed Amanda Palmer. Also, she just turned 33. For her birthday, she asked that people tell someone else about her music. I'm happy to do so.
I'm a big fan. I'm normally not much of a music person, really. I don't really get into it. However, Amanda Palmer is my favorite songwriter/singer/musician, and she has been for a few years now. (Sadly, I was too shy to go over and do the fanboy squee the one time I saw her in person, even though she was being very gracious to the other fans who came over to squee. She seems really good at connecting with her fans, both in person and on her blog/twitter/etc.)
Mainly, I just love her sound. I got into the punk-cabaret style of The Dresden Dolls, but I also love the new album. I assert that you're likely to enjoy her sound as well.
Oasis, which I've been playing over and over in my car because of its cheerful tune and dark subject matter.
Leeds United, which seems to be the big single off the new album.
Astronaut
Ampersand
Runs in the Family
The Point of It All
Strength Through Music
Guitar Hero
Creep (cover)
Everybody's Gotta Live (lip-sync but fun)
