Any Regina Spektor fans here?

PAULYBEE2656 06.03.2007 01:28 PM

sellouteater 06.03.2007 01:32 PM

nobody, wtf, i thought you guys were diverse and what not

Danny Himself 06.03.2007 01:36 PM

Count me in. I like her.

maggot brain 06.03.2007 01:41 PM

I'm listening to Pavlov's Daughter right now - good song. I find I really like some of her music, but some songs really bug me (not sure what they're called so can't give examples).

sellouteater 06.03.2007 01:46 PM

samson is kinda boring and ordinary she's got a couple songs like that but most of her stuff preety cool chemo limo sounds amazing and scary when yr high

Katy 06.03.2007 03:31 PM

I love her. Since I first saw her. But I will admit I like her more rough/basic/old/live stuff better than the more produced stuff on 'Begin To Hope'. But even the Begin To Hope songs grew on me after a while (and sound better live).

Torn Curtain 06.03.2007 03:43 PM

I liked her previous records, the new one sounds commercial and flat.

sellouteater 06.03.2007 03:46 PM

Doesnt any one have Regina sheet music?

Fábio Vieira 06.03.2007 04:27 PM

^^ I love the song "Modern Girls and Old Fashioned Men, played by the Strokes with Regina Spektor on vocal...

Norma J 06.03.2007 05:33 PM

My girl owns a record of hers. I don't care when it's on...

i didnt say she was diverse. i said sonic youth fans were diverse and my piont was how all you people listen to a lot of differnt music and i was iritated that no one had responded to the post yet. and yes she is very diverse and interresting so screw u <3

Rob Instigator 06.04.2007 01:38 PM

reguina is nothing like tori. tori is a tortured bore. regina is fun and witty and weird
i got my g/f her latest and she would not stop listening to it. now she is into amy winehouse.
she hates the loud rock n roll. oh well.

sellouteater 06.04.2007 04:28 PM

whos amy winehouse?

val-holla-ing 06.04.2007 06:05 PM

a singer who, if she didn't have an eating disorder, would eat regina for lunch.

again, the world has enough tori apples and fiona amoses. red hair and an accent doesn't make this one any less boring.

Danny Himself 06.04.2007 06:09 PM

Regina Spektor has brown hair. As far as I know.

 


See?

val-holla-ing 06.04.2007 06:09 PM

 

looked red to me.

Danny Himself 06.04.2007 06:13 PM

Yeah it looks red in a few pix. Oh well.

I like her. In the female singer-songwriter section that is crammed full of the hopeless, she seems like a welcome change. She's not so doom and gloom (not that there's anything wrong with that) as others. Nor is she ridiculously annoying, like Sandi Thom, or any of the other populars of our day.

When I first heard "Fidelity" I thought, 'yikes', because of the little glottal stop she makes when singing 'heart'. But I got over that. So far, "Ode to divorce" is my favorite track of hers.

zedius 06.04.2007 11:35 PM

I'm listening right now, but I don't like it cuz I'm not diverse. Im gonna switch it to something more ordinary like supertramp or xiu xiu or anaal nathrakh or mother love bone or ani difranco.

Seriously. What is a good song? I will listen, cuz from what I've heard I don't get the big deal. Sounds like starbucks music to me.

Green Magnesium 06.04.2007 11:58 PM

Regina S. and Amy W. are both hot... but at the same time their musical output bores me.

At least Regina's voice doesn't make me want to die, even if it is bland.

Amy tries way too fucking hard to sound soulful. I'll just stick with Billie or Etta or Nina or even Carole King for christ's sake.

Amy can eat my beav.

PAULYBEE2656 06.05.2007 07:35 AM

i listened again to regina last night and nope, does nothing for me... and please explain to me how amy winehouse is attractive??? janice from friends..........

Rob Instigator 06.05.2007 09:18 AM

janice from friends was hot. you should have seen her naked with her thighs up in the air waiting for me to finish smoking that fat bowl I loaded the other year.....

I thought amy winehouse looked hotter before she got all skinny
 

Green Magnesium 06.05.2007 10:22 AM

Wow she looks like a tranny in that left pic...

Some trannies are indeed attractive mind you. I guess Regina just makes a bad tranny :(

She should have stayed plump.

Rob Instigator 06.05.2007 10:34 AM

the Brit tabloids will KILL a young actress/simnger/model etc.

they will find the most unflattering shots of you and post them and call you fat and hideous. it is such a load of shit./

sonicl 06.05.2007 10:40 AM

I heard her on BBC Radio Two the other day. She sounded very much at home.

It didn't excite me, it didn't bore me, it was just... there.

i think she's kinda repulsive looking, I don't even need to hear her music to know it sucks, just by the people she hangs around with,

SynthethicalY 06.05.2007 12:31 PM

I was watching Amy Winehouse's rehab video, and that was really awful so awful. Oh I have no opinion on Regina Spektor.

Rob Instigator 06.05.2007 12:47 PM

amy winehouse has been a jazz vocalist for a while, and her new album is more torch songs and soul stuff.

i don;t like it nor do I hate it. it is meh

that's the dumbest shit ever.

Glice 06.05.2007 03:08 PM

Regina. It's a shame, only her name sounds like a vagina. Diamanda Galas, however, is surely the sound of a vagina. Or perhaps Karen Carpenter. Hmm. I'll need to think about this one. Amuse yourselves as I do so.

i saw her at sxsw and she actually had a bit of weight on her and looked *dare i say it* good.

Danny Himself 06.05.2007 05:48 PM

The tattoos are perhaps the most unappealing thing about her, besides the ridiculous amount of eye makeup she wears.

val-holla-ing 06.05.2007 09:31 PM

yeah. i can't really make an excuse for the eye makeup.
