A Take Away show with Amanda Palmer. The writeup, and part one are at La Blogotheque.

Part one wowed me as well, and I have to track down more of these folks music (somehow Neil Gaiman getting involved with that "who killed Amanda Palmer" thing was not enough, but also randomly turning up at Blogotheque certianly has done it)

Today is a very special day, it's Pi day!
