Salve Regina

[madlori]

I'd like to celebrate the fact that I've disposed of 12 papers today (go me!) by pimping one of my newest favorite musicians, who I hope everybody will give a try: Regina Spektor

I see her most often associated with the anti-folk movement. However, nobody seems to really know what that means, so I'm not sure how useful that information is.

Also, "Samson" is off what I think is her first album and is not available on iTunes, unfortunately, which is why I had to beg so sweetly for it. (And thanks again!) A lot of her stuff is a bit arty and abstract for my interests, but some of her work is just gorgeous.

I adore Regina. Samson is one of my favorite songs. I saw her live once and she's great. That's pretty much all I have to say, but I agree that everyone should have a listen.

I'll listen to it, if you send it. Been on a kick the past couple of weeks and have discovered a ton of new-to-me music that I really, really like.

And here I'll pimp The Arcade Fire. You should really give them a listen if you haven't.

I must also speak of my love for Regina. "Carbon Monoxide" gets stuck in my head all the time.

SO GLAD someone else loves Regina. I've had her CDs for a while now, and I absolutely adore them. AND she is rocking in concert. All hail the queen!
