I have been listening to the Dresden Dolls recently (as well as band member Amanda Palmer's own solo work). Dresden Dolls, "The Kill." Amanda Palmer, "Leeds United."
Sad/Funny story on the Leeds United video from Amanda Palmer's blog (emphasis mine):
right before the european tour i went to the new york offices of roadrunner to say hi and check in.
my a&r guy (my main contact at the label) sat me down in his office and said he wanted to discuss the “leeds united” video. he told me that there were certain shots that they wanted to either cut completely or digitally alter to “be more flattering”.
my favorite quote from that meeting:
“i’m a guy, amanda. i understand what people like.”

Sounds like a relative of Byron York to me:
Barack Obama enjoys high job approval ratings, no matter what poll you
consult. But if a new survey by the New York Times is accurate, the
president and some of his policies are significantly less popular with
white Americans than with black Americans, and his sky-high ratings
among African-Americans make some of his positions appear a bit more
popular overall than they actually are.
