Regina Spektor

[tjej]

Like Tori Amos, only she's not annoying and self pittying.

Rejazz is a great song, as is Ne me Quitte Pas.

[Pictures of you WILLY]

She's also fairly hot :)

[Shingles]

She's also fairly hot :)

Ummm No

[Pictures of you WILLY]

Ummm No

ofcourse not as hot as Katie Price aka Jordan :rolleyes:

[Shingles]

ofcourse not as hot as Katie Price aka Jordan :rolleyes:

I cant stand Jordan

Give me Carman Electra anyday ;)

[Elsie]

oooh i love her

[tjej]

Soviet Kitch is possibly one of the greatest albums of 2005.

[James_Blunt]

I also like her, and her music as well i think she's the Bjork of jazz

[MrsBellamy1231]

Yeah she kind of is like a BJORK jazz version of her... Shes pretty kewl though, i seen her in concert last month, and she sings very great.

[James_Blunt]

Yeah, i'm glad you agree to that and over here in dallas, she's the special guest in keane concert

[tremelo]

Soviet Kitch is possibly one of the greatest albums of 2005.

Err it came out officially in 2004 in the UK.
And unofficially in 2003 (the Strokes tour pressing) 0 when I got it, wahey!


She is indeed awesome though, touching on magical. I can think of very few people who's music is anywhere close to as affective or endearing to me.
She's a lovely lady, with an unbelievable amount of talent and the character and charm to match.

Buy anything you can by her, if you you dont like it you dont deserve ears or a heart.

Hey...If thats what you say i might just have to check her out. Last i read something like that it was my own words and i was trying to convince others about the greatness of another singer.

Ill have to check Specktor out in the near future

2004/2005... same difference. :$

I can't decide if I like Songs more than Soviet Kitsch.

[jimminys_gal]

when i first read this thread, when it was first written, I decided to download ne me quitte pas thinking it would be a cover of the nina simone song of the same name. But to my surprise I found this amazing, unique, wonderful singer.

I am sooooooooooo jealous of anyone who has seen her live, she would be life changing!

[ava]

gosh she is sooo strange

[Elsie]

she is playing in london but none of my friends know/like her so won't come with!

[tjej]

She's on tour in Jan! Hooray!

[Keys]

Tori amos is not annoying and she is fairly hot.

I think she's ever so slightly odd, but I like her stuff. :happy:

[tjej]

I think she's ever so slightly odd, but I like her stuff. :happy:
My wife and I were discussing this last night. Some of her lyrics are so shit, it's what makes her good. Then some of her songs are so profound...

[tjej]

Awww she's so lovely! And short! Saw her in Leeds last night, had a conversation with her in russian accross a crowded Cockpit, gave her a muffin... Aww my faith in musicians is restored.

[Nincy Face]

You cow! :'( :'(

[Elsie]

I saw her in London tonight! Oh my she was amazing, I actually never wanted the gig to end...ever! There was a point where i was worried she wouldn't play samson but she did it at the very end...so beautiful!

[crazybobbles]

DER NER NER NER NER ner ner ner DER NER NER NER NEEEEEER

Bwahaha. She didn't play that one though :(

[Elsie]

[tjej]

she didn't no sadly
But she played Carbon Monoxide and if my somewhat hazy memory serves me right, Ghost of Corporate Future. :D

[Nincy Face]

Did she play love affair?

I'll be damned if she did. :(

[tjej]

Did she play love affair?

I'll be damned if she did. :(
I'm trying to find her setlist for Leeds... damn me for getting so drunk...

[Nincy Face]

Regiiiina. Regiiiiiiina. :(

Regiiiina. Regiiiiiiina. :(
She did Pound of Flesh... and... Bobbing for Apples.. and.. that one that I really don't like... Poor little Rich Girl... and then I went to the bar and bought several WKDs and yes.

[Elsie]

i have 3 albums and there were a shocking amount of songs that I didn't know but it was so good that it didn't matter
I remember :
Us
The Flowers
Poor little Rich boy
carbon monoxide
ode to divorce
apres moi
Samson
ghost of CF
Fidelity
Prisoners
Just like the movies
Dance anthem of the 80s

[Nincy Face]

Drunkard. :p

[Elsie]

ooh iremember pound of flesh, could someone send that to me?

she played "that time" as well actually

[Kazuya vs Ummagumma]

Her new album is great, I love 'On The Radio'.

[moderntimes]

Myy friends and I are in love with her song called "US". It's playing on a sky advert in the cinema with some guy skate boarding. firs so well with the images. Love it.:)

[MachineToTheSoul.]

I liked her.
I really fucking liked her.
Until I saw her live.
People even left because she was so much of a twatty diva.

I still like her music, but the bubble has burst.

[ava]

i think she is one of the most strangest women ever!!!
but i really love 'samson' :happy:

[Elsie]

she is playing London on the 28th and 29th of June, I just discoverednthis.
28th is bloody SOLD OUT! 29th is my leavers ball!
I think the word "rah" is appropriate right about now!

I have seen her live before and loved her

[Larsen B]

"Jacqueline was being such a big girl with her cup of tea looking out of the window and Barbara, she looks just like my mom"

:'(
Powerful song.

[Nincy Face]

Was just listening to the consequence of sounds when I saw this song re-appear. :happy:

[Nincy Face]

:D

Loving the new-ish album. :happy:

Break my fall, break my fall <3

[Kazuya vs Ummagumma]

I really like the songs on the Bonus disc.

[Nincy Face]

I really like the songs on the Bonus disc.
Was Scarecrow and Fungus on that as well?

I heart that song! <3

[mystery_girl]

I saw her the other week at the rescue rooms. She's soo amazing, her voice was just as beautiful live as on record. Bit surprised at that comment calling her a twatty diva, she was so funny and smiley! Bad day maybe! Wish she'd done chemo limo though :(

[Plug_In_Bellamy]

I lurve Regina Spektor!

And the videos of her playing Poor Little Rich Boy and playing with the drumstick, piano and singing at the same time amazes me.

I've been looking for Apres Moi sheet music for the piano but cant find it anywhere its annoying. Hmm.

[Decades]

I saw her live last night, she was fantastic! We also met her afterwards, she was very friendly and smaller than I thought...

Après Moi was great live.

[Ducky101]

W_bNR3VsAu8

Covering her song :)

[Caro]

OK, so I've just had my first Regina experience and she's really good! :happy:

Just listened to Soviet Kitsch and Begin to Hope.

[ComeToMe]

She really is such a talented female :happy:

[guitarchaeologist]

Like Tori Amos, only she's not annoying and self pittying.
Since when is Tori Amos either of those???

Tori > Regina

But I'm still loving the single that's getting played on VH1 and radio. :)

[Liron]

She's coming to Israel and I don't know a single song by her.

Should I go? :LOL: (note that we get 2-3 somewhat known acts here a year if we're really lucky)

[Caro]

Ummm... Regina is much more interesting then Tori will ever be. Her persona and music.

[Ellie.B]

I won tickets to her private gig in london, was very cool :happy: Amazing singer :D Glad shes becoming more recognised in the UK, saw she was on Popworld last week with paint all over her face or something :p

[Abbey]

Awww she's so lovely! And short! Saw her in Leeds last night, had a conversation with her in russian accross a crowded Cockpit, gave her a muffin... Aww my faith in musicians is restored.
Luuuuuuucky!

I wish I'd heard of her just a couple of months earlier, I could have gone to her show at The Astoria :(

[Nincy Face]

Luuuuuuucky!

[Emmy]

Just taught myself how to play Braille. It was a lot easier than I thought it was.

[Vero!]

[Emmy]

Awh, she is really very lovely :happy:

[uka]

What about a camera? olol :rolleyes: /kazzielevelofhumour

Would have been a great photo opportunity tonight though. Shame all those with proper cameras had them confiscated. Some nice Nikons. But yeah, lighting was perfect. What did annoy me was the fat guy next to me. A crappy digital compact and he kept using flash. IN THE DARK. OFF A REFLECTIVE PIANO. :stunned:

regina is playing at the royal festival hall! not only do they NOT search your bags, the photo bit is free for anyone to sneak in! of course, having a dslr camera makes you blend in a bit more :) dunno about regina though, she's quite picky with photographers taking photos of her, i mean its pretty distracting since some of her songs are just her and the piano

[Liam]

Yeah, she asked that for the first few songs at least that we didn't use flash but it still happened :( Gay people.

And worse, so many people on the balconies were talking :stunned: You paid £20 to talk over the sound of Regina Spektor AND in the dark? :erm:

ah only fools use flash, at royal festival hall its alll about the 50mm lens and just taking photos without flash, i kept owning other photographers because they insisted on using big fuck off fat lenses with higher apertures haha.

[YellowSphere]

Begin To Hope is an annoying album, because the songs are fantastic, but the production is woeful. It amazes me that it's released sounding that shite.

[uka]

so ummm, how was she Liam? I hope you said hi from me!

flashes annoy me so much during concerts :p
THEY DON'T HELP, TURN THEM OFF NOOBS!

then you see these persons, miles away from the stage taking a shot
person 1: "oh crap, it's blurry"
person 2: "turn on the flash!"
person 1: "oh yeah!"
*flash*
person 1: "still blurry, I'll try again"

:rolleyes:

[crazybobbles]

thats the beauty of autoflash :p

regina HATES it, she'd stop the song and tell you to fuck off if you're not careful! I remember her telling someone just that because they were screaming during samson. it's one of those gigs ;p

Respect! I really hate it when people ruin the mood by screaming or singing along

[Liam]

Yeah, we had people occasionally shouting out, but it all happened relatively near the start of the gig, so she just took it. There was a lot of support for her anyway, she seemed really touched by how into it we all were.

Won front-row-center tickets to a concert she did a couple of months ago....
Fantastic show.

[crazybobbles]

eeee seeing the spektor tonight!!!

[inn]

You better get some tasty tasty

[Liam]

I'm trying to recall the set from Brum. There was a song she sang at the start i didn't know, it was just her singing, and then she ended with a Lennon cover, but from what i can remember there was:

Set (not in order):
On The Radio
Apres Moi
Baby Jesus
Fidelity
Summer in the City

Bobbing for Apples - These two together on guitar
That Time

Bartender
Musicbox
Raindrops
Prisoners
Poor Little Rich Boy
Sailor Song
The Flowers
-------------------------------------------
Us
The Ghost of Corporate Future
Field Below (she forgot the words lol :p)
Lennon Cover

So yeah, huge 19 song set. Not bad.

[uka]

Oooh very nice set, but no Samson then?

[Liam]

Oooh very nice set, but no Samson then?

I said from memory :$ She did play Samson yes :LOL: So yeah, 20 song set.

[uka]

I said from memory :$ She did play Samson yes :LOL: So yeah, 20 song set.

[crazybobbles]

haha i had the setlist for my gig, but it was torn :( then the guy who tried snatching it actually had the cheek to steal it from me when i was walking back to the station! it was however funny watching him run like a girl! :D photos coming soon, i might even....

..hold it... hold it

upload her singing samson :D

:LOL: cheeky fucker

[crazybobbles]

:LOL: cheeky fucker
he did manage to get away with it and all, only because i wasn't bothered in chasing him. i folded it and shoved it in my back pocket and he just took it off me when i was looking at my photos and sorting my bag out. i would have destroyed him if it was a proper setlist haha

nice shots too, just commented on flickr :happy:

[emzlilachouse]

I really like her! My friend lent me her album today, so im just listening to her at the moment :D

[Istya]

I hope everyone heard the duet she did with Sondre Lerche. It's called "Hell No" and it's absolutely gorgeous. :happy:

I could upload it if people don't have it- I don't think that record got much press abroad.

[ArrowSmith]

New album coming out:

http://pitchfork.com/news/34833-regina-spektor-reveals-new-album-ifari/

"Based on an advance listen to some of the tracks from her follow-up, Far (due in June via Sire), we can happily report that success hasn't spoiled Spektor's oddball charisma."

[Davy]

I'll keep my eyes eagerly pealed.
I do love Regina

[ArrowSmith]

http://www.myspace.com/reginaspektor

Has her new lead single "Laughing With". Another winner!

[emzlilachouse]

Love her music so much and really cannot wait to see her at Glastonbury

[Spektor]

hmm, makes you wonder where my username came from. :P

Love her to death. New album is all sorts of brilliant. UK users can listen to it free here (http://reginafar.co.uk/timesalbumstream/). Very different from her old style but her music is just as captivating. The Calculation, Blue Lips, Folding Chair and Dance Anthem of the 80's are my favorites so far. But all are great. :)

Yaaaaay!

In Regina-related news, I've been a good person and not downloaded the leak - even though I could if I wanted to since I've already 'supported the artist' by buying a ticket.

[Spektor]

'Got it' and it's awesome. Don't worry PirateH8rs, I'll be getting it physically too. ;)

Same :)

'Genius Next Door' is SUCH a beautiful song. I'm addicted to this album. Also, Regina performed at the Beacon Theatre in NYC on Monday and you can download the gig here (http://reginaspektor.org/download-page?task=viewcategory&catid=115). Brilliant gig, Après Moi and Fidelity were the best I've ever heard live. And her little mess up during Consequence of Sounds was cute :p

[lyricalwax]

Machine is brilliant. "Man of a Thousand Faces" is transcendently good.

YES, wow this album is brilliant indeed, I'd go as far as to say it's one of the best albums of the year so far. Maybe even her best? Can't believe I'm already thinking that after only a few listens. Definitely need to see her at Hyde Park now.

[Olly.]

shes playing a gig in hyde park?... my b'day on the 30th as well. Sorely tempted.

[Max]

And me! So glad I bought a ticket :happy:

I dunno if you want to hang out with us for the concert, it'll be cool in a group. :)

I might be horribly retro and buy the album from a shop on the day of release.

[Olly.]

anyone else wanna go, theres a pair up on ebay, £62 atm

[Fish Custard]

I GOT HER NEW ALBUM YESTERDAY AND I FECKEN LOVE IT!! :D *enthusiasm* :dance:
Fave songs: The Calculation, Eet and Machine. Bloody love Machine <3

[sade]

Did not know she has a new album out. Have to check it out.

I find her to be best possible lazy Sunday morning music, you know, playing in the background when you're making your first cup of coffee of the day and reading the Sunday newspaper... (well okay, when you're trying to get over your hangover and eating the last slices of yesterday's pizza).

I find her to be best possible lazy Sunday morning music, you know, playing in the background when you're making your first cup of coffee of the day and reading the Sunday newspaper... (well okay, when you're trying to get over your hangover and eating the last slices of yesterday's pizza).

Haha, it started out so well :LOL:
Yeaahhh, its amazing <3 I love her so much, but not in a gay way :awesome: It's called Far, I think its out tomorrow generally, but was out on itunes early for some reason :erm:
Anyway, I recommend it. It's brilliant :happy:

[Josefine]

I dunno if you want to hang out with us for the concert, it'll be cool in a group. :)

I might be horribly retro and buy the album from a shop on the day of release.

Ah, that'd be nice :happy:

[ArrowSmith]

I'd like to see Regina vs Matt in a piano showdown. Whoever wins this arpeggio battle gets an Olympic Gold Medal.

[ArrowSmith]

Anyways the absolutely epic tracks:

Blue Lips
Machine
Laughing With
Human of the Year
Genius Next Door
Man of a Thousand Faces

[Spektor]

So many brilliant tracks on this album. Can't get enough of Blue Lips. <3

I love her so much. In a gay way.

Far is #1 on iTunes and Amazon.com until Wacko Jacko died and now the death-crazies are buying up Thriller.

Im gonna bit on a pair of tickets like now, so if anyone wants to go then tell me asap.

[Beast Love]

Been listening to her new album on spotify, it is just fantastic. Machine and Folding Chair, I love love love love love love love love.

[Nincy Face]

I really like Dance Anthem of the 80's. :happy:

I love the video as well, it's cute :happy:

[Olly.]

got outbid on tickets :(

[neenz.]

They're showing her Glasto performance atm on bbc2 when you press the red button :)

[Olly.]

Great weather expected for tuesday, 32C!

[ArrowSmith]

"Far" has something everyone will like. The only thing it doesn't have are Manson guitars. But plenty of piano arpeggios!

[Olly.]

i won on ebay, im going :awesome:

[Libertine]

I love the video as well, it's cute :happy:

It's adorable. :D

Good stuff at Glasto. Was hoping they'd show 'Us' though. :(

Got the deluxe version for my birthday by the way. :happy::happy:

Aww, I watched her performance at Glasto, was gutted they cut out Machine though :( They played all the songs on the set list, then stopped at Machine :indiff: Hmm, I love Us :happy:

Oh, awesome! Do you love it? :awesome:

[Max]

I saw her on Monday. She was fantastic. :happy:

[Josefine]

Those who wanted to see Machine at Glastonbury on TV but didn't...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaTNfsUZhTc

Have a crowd shot video from Hyde Park from myself.

[Libertine]

Oh, awesome! Do you love it? :awesome:

I do, I do, I do-ooooo. Can't believe the mixed reviews it's been getting, completely split down the middle, some really rate it and some have given it as low as 4.8/10. :stunned:

It's great, without being biased. If it wasn't I'd say so. ;) Love all the videos on the DVD too. An extra £6 is still a bit much though, and the packaging is a nightmare.

Edit: Also, I missed her on Nick Grimshaw last night. :( Can't find anywhere to listen to it.

[Max]

I think that if the lyrics weren't so good, I may not have been digging it as much. A lot of the music feels a bit too familiar in my opinion, apart from Machine, which is my favourite song in a musicality sense. Some of her lyrics are some of the best that she has ever written.

[Olly.]

machine stood out for me on the album, really enjoyed it at hyde park too. <3 her.

I know what you mean, I love it but it's a bit 'Regina by numbers'.

I tried booking tickets for Manchester, but there are only seats available. The other 3 dates are all standing. Do you think the standing for Manchester and seats for everything else sold out and that's all thats left? Or only seats are available in the first place? :( HELP PLEASE!

[Fish Custard]

I have to add under 18s aren't allowed, they need ID :indiff:
I just ordered them, then got the email which said no under 18s. I had to ring up and cancel. So no Regina Spektor for me :supersad: Anyone who is going though, have fun :happy:

[RandyRandom]

anyone going to the London Hammersmith Apollo one on the 4th of december?
Can't wait!

No :(

Missed out when tickets originally went on sale, and obviously the London date sold out stupidly quick. Don't fancy paying over £150 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Regina-Spektor-2-x-tickets-Hammersmith-Apollo-Fri-Dec-4_W0QQitemZ320447730424QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_Defau ltDomain_3?hash=item4a9c2c52f8#ht_500wt_975) per pair.

This girl can really sing, she's awesome. I prefer her live actually.

So talented. Saw her back in 06 at tiny little shitbox venue here (Canes Bar & Grill :LOL:) Best ever. Would love to see her somewhere small again but alas will never happen.
