Regina Spektor

Bumping for awesome. God she is great.

I think I'm enjoying soviet kitsch the most of all the albums but they're all brilliant.
 
2009's "Far" is my favourite album of hers. Beautiful

Amazing album. :cool: Such a great songwriter and she has the best voice.

I love the live version of 'us' that is on youtube.
I am learning it on guitar :)

:cool: I've been playing that on the guitar too. I only just got into that album and I practically had that song on loop yesterday.

I'm just playing the open chords and picking around on the A, D and G strings. Probably doing it wrong though, I'll look at the live version too for tuition. She is a great performer, I really like the live version of folding chair.
 
Incidentally, I'm listening to Zoë Keating's albums at the moment. Absolutely brilliant, beautiful cello music. All solo stuff. Search youtube to watch her work her magic bringing a song to life. :cool:

Regina Spektor - heavy Zionist seeing anti-Israel as anti-semitism.

"I do not agree with the Liberal Media when it comes to Israel. I have never seen such one sided reporting in my life. And I've seen some amazing propaganda growing up in the Soviet Union. I have never seen a group of people so determined to portray Israeli people, Israeli soldiers, as blood thirsty, inhumane monsters. I am not a politician. I am sure there's a great political reason for this kind of reporting. For this kind of misrepresentation. I am sure there's a great reason for my hearing on a UK television set, while getting ready to play one of the festivals a couple of years back, a reporter saying, in a tragic voice with a tragic face "At this moment Hezbollah is fighting for its very existence." As if Hezbollah was a kitten that fell down a well, and not a terrorizing organization, and that Israel was the one who threw it down there. I'm sure there's a reason. And i think the reason is fear. ...

A Jew is a Jew is a Jew is a Jew. And if anyone thinks that speaking out against Israel is anything other than thinly veiled anti-semitism, they are deeply mistaken. "Maybe if i am quiet and at the back of the class and look down they won't notice." That should not be the motto of the World. Nor should "Maybe if I'm the loudest to condemn Israel, they'll remember me as a friend later." Because eventually, when there is only you left in the class, you will get noticed. We all will."
Best I get off this forum. :D
