Regina Spektor (Russian: Регина Спектор; born February 18, 1980) is a Russian-born Jewish-American singer-songwriter and pianist. Her music is associated with the anti-folk scene centered on New York City's East Village.
Spektor has said that she has created 700 songs,[7] but that she rarely writes any of them down. She has also stated that she never aspired to write songs herself, but songs seem to just flow to her.[8] Spektor's songs are not usually autobiographical, but rather are based on scenarios and characters drawn from her imagination.[9][4] Her songs show influences from folk,[10][11] punk, rock, Jewish,[9][12] Russian,[9] hip hop,[10][13][14] jazz,[10][13] and classical music.[9][13] Spektor's musical style has drawn many comparisons to fellow singer-pianists Tori Amos and Fiona Apple,[15][14] as well as the vocal stylings of Björk. Spektor has said that she works hard to ensure that each of her songs has its own musical style, rather than trying to develop a distinctive style for her music as a whole.[8]
Spektor possesses a broad vocal range and uses the full extent of it. She also explores a variety of different and somewhat unorthodox vocal techniques, such as verses composed entirely of buzzing noises made with the lips and beatbox-style flourishes in the middle of ballads, and also makes use of such unusual musical techniques as using a drum stick to tap rhythms on the body of the piano or chair.[16][4] Part of her style also results from the exaggeration of certain aspects of vocalization, most notably the glottal stop, which is prominent in the single "Fidelity". She also uses a strong New York accent on some words, which she has said is due to her love of New York and its culture.[1]
Her lyrics are equally eclectic, often taking the form of abstract narratives or first-person character studies, similar to short stories or vignettes put to song.[16][1] Spektor usually sings in English, though she sometimes includes a few words or verses of Latin, Russian, French, and other languages in her songs. Some of Spektor's lyrics include literary allusions,[4] such as to F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway in "Poor Little Rich Boy", The Little Prince in "Baobabs", Virginia Woolf and Margaret Atwood in "Paris", Ezra Pound and William Shakespeare in "Pound of Flesh", Boris Pasternak in "Après Moi", Samson and Delilah in "Samson", and Oedipus the King in "Oedipus", and Edith Wharton's Ethan Frome in "2.99 cent blues". She also used a line from Joni Mitchell's California in her song "The Devil Came to Bethlehem". Recurring themes and topics in Spektor's lyrics include love, death, religion (particularly Biblical and Jewish references), city life (particularly New York references), and certain key phrases have been known to recur in different songs by Spektor, such as references to gravediggers, the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and the name "Mary Ann". Spektor's use of satire is evident in "Wasteside," which refers to the classic satirical novel by the Soviet authors Ilf and Petrov The Twelve Chairs, and describes the town in which people are born, get their hair cut, and then are sent to the cemetery.
In Spektor's early albums, many of her tracks had a very dry vocal production, with very little reverb or delay added. However, Spektor's more recent albums, particularly Begin to Hope, have put more emphasis into song production and have relied more on traditional pop and rock instruments.[3] Spektor says the records that most impact her are those of "bands whose music is really involved",[17] specifically naming The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Billie Holiday, Radiohead, Tom Waits, and Frédéric Chopin as primary influences

to whom it may concern
i dont usually rant but ive been hearing reports about people questioning why we played saguijo after the concert.
first things first. when marlboro pulled out and cancelled the show a week ago, the band was free of all obligation to play the show. if it was about the money we could have just walked away fully paid no explanations to the press or anybody. free from the contract. the band decided to play nevertheless. the tickets and the prices was for the new promoters to buy out the production from philip morris to put it simply. contrary to what some people think it takes money to stage a concert. stage, lights, and video screens don't magically grow out of the ground. that's what the ticket prices were for. the band was not in the negotiation meetings between the the two promoters and we did not want to be in the meetings.
personally i said just call me cos i'm ready to rock. no extra pay no contract negotiations. as far as the eheads was concerned were out of the contract.
but here's what you dont understand. playing music is what we do. we play when we're happy, play when we're sad, play when we're angry, play when we're sick, play til we die.
painters paint, writers write, my skateboarding friends skate or die. when u ask nba superstars what they do in their spare time. they play basketball. us musicians, we play. thats what we do. getting paid is a bonus. i will not apologize for that. when we don't get paid we still play.
we played saguijo because we wanted to, we needed to. our hearts and souls dictated it. we could just go home and sleep. we did not talk about it. there was no invites there was no plan. we did not get paid. we borrowed equipment.
yes ely knew about it. buddy told him the next day. yes pupil was in saguijo too.
yes marcus buddy and i have lost a parent. we know how it feels.
ive been playing music for more than 30 years. professionally since 1993.there have been a few times when it was me who was unable to continue the set due to illness. albeit it was a lesser scale and (thankfully) never reported. it was nonetheless life threatening. ive had a run in with losing my voice, food poisoning, diarreah (embarassing) and a few more i do not care to mention that involved blood and bones. i had to drop out of the set from the eheads, cambio and sandwich. thankfully there was always someone there to finish the set for me. and i am thankful that they were there. i did not feel bad. ive also saved a few shows from other bands when shit happens. we dont plan this and we dont complain but we still play.
my bmx friends ride with broken bones.
if we finished the eheads show that night you would STILL have found us in guijo playing after.
yes i visited ely in the hospital yesterday. i hope he recovers soon. we have a show to finish.
WARNING: ISA ITONG NAPAKAHABANG POST... DI KO ALAM KUNG MAY KWENTA TO SA'YO PERO SAKIN MERON...KUNG LABU-LABO MAN ANG PAGKAKASULAT PASENYSA NA.. walang edit edit kasi..kung anung maisip ko type lang..
Hindi ko masasabing solid na tagahanga nila ako, sa totoo lang never pa akong nakapunta sa gig/concert nila nuon. Two years old palang ata ako nung nabuo ang banda nila, kaya hindi ko din masasabing panahon ko nga sila. Pero ang sigurado ako, bata palang ako naririnig ko na sila at nakikita sa TV.Bata palang ako kinakanta ko na ang mga kanta nila. Bata pa lang ako sila na ang background music ko tuwing nalulungkot ako, tuwing masaya ako, tuwing kahit anong mangyari. Pasalamat ako sa Ate ko na kasabay kong nag aabang sa kanila sa TV, sa Ate ko na tuwing naglilinis ng bahay e pinapatugtog yung cassette tape nila. Naalala ko pa t’wing uuwi kami sa probinsya para magbakasyon palaging nakasalang ang mga cassette tapes nila sa stereo ng sasakyan namin. Hindi ko napapansin ang zigzag at nakakahilong daan papuntang Bicol dahil sinasabayan ko yung mga kanta nila. Halinhinan ang mga kanta nila at ng Yano sa pagtanggal ng pagkabagot ko sa mahabang biyahe papuntang Bicol.
Nuon pwede pa kong maligo sa ulan kahit nakashorts lang at walang pang itaas, magtatakbuhan kami ng kuya ko at ng mga kalaro namin sa bakuran naming malawak pa noon, tapos lalangoy sa fishpond ng lolo ko, bubugawin lahat ng manok na panabong ni Daddy na nakakalat din sa noong malawak pa naming bakuran. Kapag umaambon pa lang at nagsimula na kaming maligo, papagalitan kami nila Lolo’t Lola kasi nga naman magkakasakit kami. Isang beses, hindi ako pinayagang maligo sa ulan dahil mahina pa daw yung ulan, eksaktong pinatutugtog sa radio nun yung “Tuwing Umuulan at Kapiling ka”. Tandang tanda ko sinabayan ko yung kanta....”Buhos na ulan aking mundo’y lunuring tuluyan..” sabi naming dalawa, hindi ko alam kung pangit lang talaga ang boses ko o nung panahon na ‘yon nakinig sakin yung ulap.. biglang lumakas ang ulan kaya nakaligo kami ng kuya ko sa ulan. Simula non sa t’wing nahihiyang bumuhos ang ulan, kinakanta ko yun. Masaya ko no’n t’wing umuulan dahil nakakpaglaro kami nila kuya, hindi pa ko marunong gumawa ng bangkang papel non kaya nagpapagawa ako sa kanya, minsan kay Lolo tapos ipapaagos naming sa tubig. Malinis pa no’n yung tubig na umaagos sa kalsada wala pang kasamang mga basura.
Isang beses nung umuwi si Ate galing sa dorm niya, kinuwento niyang nagpunta sila nung fair nila at tumugtog. “Nagkagulo lahat, syempre puro babae e diba? May mga tumutuntong sa upuan tapos nagbubukas sarang payong.. tapos may naghahagis ng mga durog na Chippy!” yan ang kwento niya sakin non. Dahil bata pa ako at ni hindi pa pinapayagang pumunta sa Birthday ng kaklase ng walang kasamang matanda..hindi din ako malamang nakakapanood ng mga ganun, ni hindi nga ako pinapayagang bumili sa tindahan ng mag-isa. Kuntento na kong nakikita sila sa TV, sa songhits, sa Chippy at Burger Machine Commercials, kuntento na kong naririnig sila sa radio. Kuntento na ko sa mga kwento ng Ate ko.
Sabi ko pa nuon pag malaki na ko panonoorin ko sila.
Ngayon laos na ang cassette tape, may gumagamit pa nga ba nun sa panahon ngayon? Sa panahon na kahit ang discman ata ay wala na rin sa uso? Nadagdagan na ng 19 pang taon ang edad ko simula nung magbuo sila ng banda. Ilang taon na din kaming hindi bumibisita sa Bicol. Hindi na rin kami dumadaan sa zigzag na daan tuwing uuwi do’n. Ilang beses na din napalitan yung putting Toyota Corolla ni Mama na gamit naming tuwing uuwi ng Bicol. At yung driver namin nuon, halos hindi na nakakakita ngayon. Kagaya noon madalas pa rin silang nasa TV, at radio, ewan ko lang sa songhits dahil simula nung nauso ang internet hindi na ko bumili ng songhits para tingnan ang chords ng mga gusto kong kanta. Pero hindi tulad ng dati, ngayon makikita mo sila pero hindi na magkakasama. Maliban syempre kay Buddy at Raimund na parehong nasa Cambio.
Ngayon kapag naligo ako sa ulan ng nakashorts lang at walang pang itaas siguradong mahihibang ang mga makakakita sakin at iisiping baliw ako at babarilin ako ng tatay ko. Oo flat parin ang lahat sa akin..pero ika nga nila dalaga na ako.
Lumiit na din yung dati naming malawak na bakuran. Nailipat na din yung mga manok na panabong namin sa farm, nadagdagan ng dalawang Kabayo at ilang mga kambing ang alaga naming, hanggang sa namatay, nanakaw, binenta at pinamigay na silang lahat.
Ngayon kahit maligo ako sa ambon (nang kumpleto ang damit syempre), sa medyo malakas na ambon, o sa ulan na may kasamang kidlat wala nang magsesermon sakin. Grade 3 ako nung namatay si Lola, Christmas break naman nung 2nd or 3rd year college ako nung namatay si Lolo.
Marunong na rin akong gumawa ng bangkang papel ngayon, pati eroplano alam ko nang gawin, pati pag balot ng marijuana alam ko na kung pano (joke lang yan ang maniwala utu-uto). Ngayon kung papaanurin mo ang bangkang papel mo sa baha.. hindi na uusad dahil madaming basurang tangay tangay yung baha. Hibang ka din siguro kung maglaro ka pa sa baha sa panahon ngayon, dahil hindi mo alam kung anung kasama ng bahang umaagos sa kanal, kalsada o kung san pa man yung umaagos. Limot ko na din ang mukha nung mga kalaro namin ni Kuya nuon. Pero naririnig ko minsan na kinukwento ng Nanay ko na may anak na at pamilyado na ang halos lahat sa kanila.
Over na din si Ate sa pagiging groupie stage niya. Matagal na siyang hindi nag-aalak, nag yoyosi, at kung anu pang maisip niyong bisyo. Kung dati hindi ako pinapayagang pumunta sa kung saan ng walang kasama, ngayon ako na ang sumasama sa bunso kong kapatid sa kung san man siya pupunta. Ilang beses na kong umalis at hindi umuwi. Ilang gigs na rin ang napanuod ko. Sa mga gigs na yun, nakita at narinig ko silang apat... kumakanta, tumutugtog sa magkakahiwalay na banda. Ngayon hindi na din ata uso ang lumilipad na durog na chippy, nung huling nanood ako ng gig... mga bote ng mineral water ang lumilipad.
Nagpalit palit na din ng endorser ang Chippy. Naging Parokya ni Edgar, at yung “Kami po ang tear here!” At ang NAPAKASIKAT na Halika Tikman ang Langit Burger Machine nuon, ay Burger Machine naLANG ngayon...
Ngayon, malaki na nga ako...literal man o hindi ang usapan.
Nag reunion concert sila, sa kasamaang palad hindi ako nakapanood dahil nung araw at oras ding yun hinatid naming si Ate O. sa airport dahil pabalik na siya ng Dubai. Nung padaan na kami sa The Fort, nakatanggap ako ng mensaheng pinutol ang concert dahil nga kinailangang dalhin si Ely sa ospital. Sayang. Malaki na nga ako, pero di ko parin sila napanuod...pero sige ok lang ay hindi pala ok..pero wala naman akong magagawa e
Habang hinihintay kong lumaki ako at payagan nang pumunta at manood ng mga banda ang daming nagbago sakin, sa iba sa halos lahat ng bagay sa paligid. Nagbago ako ng mga pangarap, paniniwala at tingin sa mga bagay bagay.
Natuto na ko at nalimutan ko na din kung pano mag gitara. Hindi kagaya dati na umiiyak ako at ayaw kong pumasok sa school dahil boring ang pag aaralan (parts ng fish), ngayon tapos na din akong magsunog ng kilay. At madaming madami pang nangyare at nagbago.
Ngayon kapag nagbbyahe kami ng malayo o kahit malapit pa hindi na Casette tape ang baon naming kundi CD (Eraserheads Anthology 1 and 2). Nung naggraduate ako nung college paulit ulit kong kinakanta yung “Sa Wakas”. Madami akong naaalala tuwing naririnig ko mga kanta nila, minsan malungkot, minsan masaya, minsan chill... Siguro nga kung gagawa ako ng soundtrack ng buhay ko marami raming kanta nila ang mapapasama.
Tuwing maririnig kong sasabihin ng mga tao na “Sayang sila..” “Kung hindi sana sila nadisband...” Anu nga bang nakakapanghinayang? Hindi naman sila nawala talaga, hindi naman nalalaos at naluluma yung mga kanta nila. Ilang beses mang pakinggan hindi nagagasgas. Paulit ulit mang kantahin hindi napagsasawaan. Magbago man ang lahat ng bagay, taas baba man ang presyo ng gasoline..pag dating sa kanila wala namang nag/magbabago...
Nagmahal man dating halagang 600 pisong chucks na ngayon higit 2,000 piso na. Madami mang nagsulputang bagong genres. Madami mang nauso, at nalaos. Madaming banda man ang umangat na sa mainstream at lumubog. Maaaring may kanya kanya na nga silang tinutugtugang banda ngayon, marahil hindi na talaga sila magsasama sama bilang isa... bilang banda na kinabaliwan at kinababaliwan parin ng marami hanggang ngayon, hindi mapagkakaila na nag iwan sila ng malaki malalim at permanenteng marka sa Pinoy Music Industry.
Sa paniniwala ko hanggang hindi namamatay ang Industriya ng Musikang Pilipino...
Sila ay mananatiling sila...
nandyan, nandito lang
P.S
Hangga’t hindi namamatay ang Industriya ng Musikang Pilipino...
(Wag naman natin hayaang mangyari to, let’s support local bands...wag magpaakit sa murang OPM pirated CDs please)
