If you’ve never heard author Neil Gaiman speak, I highly recommend doing so should you get the chance. He’s a wonderful orator, but as it turns out, that pleasantness translates to his singing voice as well (even if he doesn’t think so). Gaiman and Amanda Palmer performed a special one-night show in Florida on Valentine’s Day during which they performed his “I Google You,” a different kind of sorrowful love song for the digital age.

Thanks to Brett Culp, the creator of the fantastic Batman documentary (Legends of the Knight, now on Netflix!) I just so happened to star in, for capturing the performance and sending it our way.
