Let's talk Regina Spektor.

She's amazing.

I just bought Mary Ann Meets the Gravediggers and Other Short Stories.

Go.

Ooh, that's a good album. XD

I was actually watching her video of Us the other day, since I'd never seen it before. It's basically an incredible video. Go watch it. XD

Seen it. You know which video of hers I love? I adore On the Radio.

It's so cute.

I love everything about her approach to music. Many artists take themselves way too seriously; and even funnier is the fact they expect that same reaction from listeners. You have to love a genre that is built on subverting and satirizing the self-important attitude of other music styles. I found her music refreshing and a welcome relief from the insipid noises aggressively mass advertised as music.
I love the style of her videos. The paper work in Samson is one of may favorite effects, and I want that suit from the Us video.

*prepares to get lynched*

Having now listened to a couple of her songs, my official opinion is now "Meh."

I've heard better. She's not bad, but I wouldn't listen to her if I didn't have to.

Wow my eye hurt from the videos. So highly original and spastic (us) and cute (on the radio) I like her music would never buy a album but i would easily get a few songs for Itunes

Apparently she recorded a song for the new Prince Caspian movie.

She's a secular artist though, right?

Yes and yes. Her actual work is much better than what she recorded for the movie, though.

Oh, okay. I haven't heard her actual work, so I wasn't sure........ Unless you consider hearing the first 3 seconds of one other song hearing her actual work. Haha.

I loved the song for prince caspian. It really made the ending... listened to some of her other stuff but it sounds really badly produced but I still like it.

Oh my!!!! She is a beast...yes a BEAST on the piano!!!!! I love her songs! I love 20 Years of Snow....and, On the Radio, and Field Below, and Apres Moi, Lady, and a little of Edit. So yeah, I think she is great. =)

Yeah, if all you've heard is the stuff off of Begin to Hope, then you need to get Soviet Kitsch, too.

It has some of her best material, in my opinion.

PostPosted: **Sat Jul 19, 2008 10:35 am**

Thanks! I want to hear more of her stuff. XD I had no idea she had more....=/

My sister adores her; my opinion is less high, but not negative. I think she's pretty good, and she sounds different from just about anyone else on the radio. But I think Ingrid Michaelson has her beat.

At least she's not as horrible as that Colby Calais *blech*
