The Dresden Dolls,&nbsp;the pioneering punk cabaret duo of singer-songwriter Amanda Palmer and drummer/multi-instrumentalist Brian Viglione,&nbsp;are entering a powerful new chapter. The band’s landmark 2006 album&nbsp;Yes, Virginia…&nbsp;has been fully re-recorded from scratch by Palmer and Viglione in Boston, with the new release,&nbsp;Yes, Virginia…(Tailor’s Version), arriving on vinyl, CD, and all streaming platforms on August 7, 2026. The band will then hit the road for a tour of celebratory shows in major venues across the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Europe.
The newly fashioned title is a nod to Taylor Swift’s reclamation of her early master recordings. Following the conclusion of a 20-year contract with Roadrunner Records, The Dresden Dolls regained the right to re-record the albums originally issued on the label. The announcement comes almost exactly 20 years after the release of the original record, making the timing of this release especially significant.
The track list remains unchanged (save for a bonus track on the vinyl &amp; CD versions), but the performances reflect two decades of the band’s artistic and personal evolution.

Cambridge Public Library

Brook Farm Institute for Critical Studies welcomes Irus Braverman as the next speaker in our public lecture series, Critical Interventions:
Animals have long played important roles in human warfare. Drawing on ethnographic research and on her own experiences growing up in Palestine-Israel, Braverman will explore how nonhuman animals have become active participants in Israeli warfare and how warfare itself has been shaped by their presence. Introducing the concept of "multispecies warfare," she will show that animals are not simply instruments of military violence, but that they also acquire political significance through animal welfare regulations, animal rights initiatives, property regimes, and environmental protections. Sheep seize territory through grazing, dogs become subjects of rescue and humanization, donkeys sustain mobility under siege, crocodiles operate as imagined security technologies, and camel movement becomes criminalized through conservation laws. Warfare, then, is enacted through both violence and care. By tracing unexpected connections between humans, animals, and war, Braverman will offer a new way of thinking about warfare itself: not as an exclusively human endeavor, but as a complex multispecies project that shapes political worlds.
This free and public event will take place in the Community Room of the Cambridge Public Library.
