Musical Monday #11

I have recently fallen head-over-heels in love with Regina Spektor.

First off, the chick can TOTALLY rock out the heavy eyeliner.
Secondly, I'm a sucker for girls who play the piano. (Tori much?)

Third, she recorded with Ben Folds for his song "You Don't Know Me."

And lastly, she writes songs like this:
"The Sword and the Pen" from the album Far.



But also writes songs like this:
"On the Radio" from the album Begin to Hope.


So while I obsessively listen to her last two albums on shuffle on my iTunes, you should go out and buy them so you can join me. Just don't get mad at me if you go from dancing around your kitchen table to wanting to crawl under it and cry. That's how you know it's good.

As always, you can purchase Regina Spektor's CDs from iTunes or Amazon.com. Or visit her website here: http://reginasplash.warnerreprise.com/

(I recommend the iTunes version for the bonus tracks, including the first song I featured today.)
(And no, I don't get anything if you purchase this CD. But I totally should.)

Fidelity is one of my favorite songs EVER!! I can't say I'm familiar with any of her other stuff though. Thanks for reminding to download some new songs.

Love her. If a chick has a piano and a haunting voice, I'm hers. Amy Lee of Evanescence? Yes, please! Sarah? I'll take two.
