Just a quick post to see if anyone else has ever heard of / tried any Regina Spektor?? Until a couple of days ago I had never heard of her but after trying one of her albums on a whim (Mary Ann Meets The Gravediggers And Other Short Stories), I have now gone out and got her other two albums off allofmp3. It is difficult to describe her, but think of Joanna Newsom's & Amy Winehouse's voice being spliced together with some excellent songs and you are getting close. Worth a try,
Cheers,

Hey Dave.. downloaded Begin to Hope ...It's a good album but I have to give it a few more listens...it's a little quirky but there's something really compelling
about her.. in the same vain of singer song writer.. I recommend the
new Susan Vega featured on allofmp3 right now..I think it's a really good
album ..played it a few times through ..it's my pick hit of the week in my house..lol...
Take care,

She's fantastic. I saw her as an opening act for Keane in New York before anyone's heard of her I think. Or at least before I heard of her. This was back in 2005. She's getting a lot of notoriety now. Very happy about it. A Russian immigrant girl to New York - just like me. Fantastic success story.

Late seeing this! I LOVE Regina Spektor (and Joanna Newsom). Begin to Hope is awesome, not so keen on Mary Ann though.

Did you know, that Suzanne Vega's hit "Tom's Diner" was the first ever song converted to mp3 some 20 years ago?



I know it's unrelated to that thread, but the artist was mentioned here.

Cheers
