Bolshie Russian-American quirkstrel Regina Spektor is, and always ought to be regarded as something of a fringe player. Sure, much of latest and sixth full-length What We Saw From The Cheap Seats is trimmed with powdery pop propensities that in the wrong, racketeering hands could be sprinkled into a Miley Cyrus record or if tinkled out of the commensurately wrong fingers could be construed as stuff saccharine extracted from some rightfully neglected gobbet of Vanessa Carlton's discography (A Thousand Miles lamentably, inevitably excluded). But in an era of artificiality in which ears mutilated under [...]
Her latest release highlights both her quirkiness and adept nature to do what she does best: make beautiful music. If there are two sides to Regina Spektor, you can classify this album as "Regina Classic". That's not necessarily to classify the other side of her music as "Regina Lite" or "Diet Regina", but there is certainly more character in the classic flavor -- despite how incredibly talented she's proved to be on every one of her recordings. When we were first introduced to Ms. Spektor, she was hitting a drum stick on a wooden...

Estamos en el proceso de saborear, luego de la sorpresa inicial, los nuevos sonidos y canciones que nos ha regalado Regina Spektor como parte de su más reciente producción, What We Saw from the Cheap Seats , editada el pasado 29 de mayo. El álbum ya nos ha ofrecido también algunos buenos sencillos como "Don't Leave Me (Ne Me Quitte Pas)" , una melodía alegre y muy festiva de la que incluso tuvimos oportunidad de ver su video oficial apenas hace unas semanas. Sin embargo, esta era la única sorpresa [...]
A influência da cena nova-iorquina dos anos '00 na carreira de Regina Spektor é grande, tão grande que até mesmo colaboração com o The Strokes a cantora fez. Mas sua veia europeia é inegável, e Regina lançou um disco com trechos em italiano e francês, What we saw from the cheap seats . Mas faltava nesse novo álbum uma lembrança das raízes de Spektor : afinal, a compositora e pianista nasceu na Rússia. Spektor acaba de corrigir isso ao colocar em sua página no YouTube uma versão [...]
Regina Spektor está emocionada por su inminente gira por Rusia. Tanto, que publicó una nueva versión de su canción Don’t Leave Me (Ne Me Quitte Pas) cantada en ruso. La cantante norteamericana nacida en Rusia (se mudó a los Estados Unidos cuando apenas era una niña) le dedicó la canción, que publicó en Facebook , a los estudiantes del idioma. “ Escribí una versión en ruso de mi canción mientras trabajaba en la grabación del disco. Ahora, me gustaría regalársela a mis [...]
Filed under: News , Holy Hell AP Photo, Scanpix Sweden, Ulf Palm Seventeen people have been taken to a hospital after being struck by lightning at Sweden's Peace and Love Music Festival . As shown in the AP photo above, festival organizers set up a makeshift care center to begin transporting people to a local health facility near Borlänge, Central Sweden.
Regina Spektor has always tottered upon a particularly flimsy balance beam, typically falling to the side of irresistible eccentricity but occasionally plummeting into an exhausting pit of whimsical excess that lies on the other. From her debut effort "11:11" that shook up the East Village anti-folk scene and crowned her Queen of the Adorkables, to her transition into more lush, extravagant territory with 2009's "Far" , "What We Saw From the Cheap Seats" is a cocktail of heartbreaking sincerity, puerile outbursts and playful observation that toys with a distinctly darker tone whilst retaining all the [...]
I'm liking Regina's vibe more and more with this album. This video makes absolutely no sense but I bet making it was a blast.

“Today we’re younger than we’re ever going to be,” a line from the opening track of What We Saw From the Cheap Seats , quickly sums up what Regina Spektor is all about. Sure, on the surface it’s a playful declaration of carpe diem exuberance. But it’s also a precious reminder that this is as good as it gets, that everything is slipping away. It’s this wistfulness that has often been missed over the course of Spektor’s six albums, and that’s a shame because she’s actually a gritty songwriter. [...]
2012 has been nothing if not an awesome year for music. The awesome releases will have to taper off eventually because I'm already overwhelmed. We easily started off with a playlist twice this size before narrowing it down to ten tracks a piece. Apologies, I Have None - 60 Miles Audra Mae - The Real Thing Best Coast - The Only Place Chris Stowe - Sometimes They Give Us Beer For Free [...]
After last week's explosion of awesome , this week couldn't help but feel something like a letdown in the music-video department. But there was still definitely some heat, especially in our pick for the week's best video, one of the most beguilingly strange and inexplicable clips of the year. Weird anomaly: All five of this week's videos come from solo artists. (That's if we're counting Best Coast as a solo project. Sorry, Bobb Bruno.) Check out our picks below. Read More...

"A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men." -Willy Wonka Best Coast - "The Only Place" If living in California actually is anything like what Best Coast make it out to be in their latest video, I might start believing Bethany Cosentino when she sings, "Why would you live anywhere else?" Dirty Projectors – “Gun Has No Trigger” Is that you Dave Longstreth? It's hard to tell due to the fact that the Dirty Projectors spend almost the entire video in [...]

I'm totally obsessed with this video. It makes absolutely no sense and features Regina Spektor in a fancy apartment/hotel room doing random stuff. Honestly, that's the best description I can think of. She's bouncing around, setting a trash can on fire until a flaming trumpeter emerges, floating in the hallway, breaking shit, and making odd poses under a picture frame. But it's awesome and adorable! I feel like Regina is the sunny version of Fiona Apple. If Fiona were to give someone a shrunken head as a wedding gift I wouldn't be surprised. Regina, on the other hand, would proudly [...]
Regina Spektor publicó el pasado 29 de mayo su nuevo disco de estudio, What We Saw from the Cheap Seats . Para continuar con el proceso promocional del álbum, la artista acaba de estrenar el videoclip correspondiente al segundo single, "Don't Leave Me (Ne Me Quitte Pas)". Se trata de una de las canciones más alegres y optimistas de la nueva placa y el clip sigue la misma tónica. Ha sido dirigido por Ace Norton , que tiene una amplia experiencia en el mundo del vídeo musical. Anteriormente ha trabajado con grupos como Death Cab [...]
