Regina Spektor - 11:11

I don't let myself listen to Regina very often for fear of getting sick of her, but today I felt the need to go back to her first album that she made in college. It's more jazzy than her other albums, and I never got into it as much, but the more I listen to it, the more I like it.

I was in the store the other day and came across a Regina Spektor album that featured stories written by her. I'm not quite sure of the details because not much was written on the outside of the jewel case.

I can't remember what it was called.

Duh. I just looked it up. It's called "Mary Ann Meets the Gravediggers and Other Short Stories."

It's a misleading title. "Mary Ann Meets the Gravediggers and other short stories by Regina Spektor" is really like a best-of compilation for the UK, since they didn't get proper releases of her first three albums, or something like that, so they're referring to her songs as being stories.

Cool. I'll pick it up eventually. That day I was only looking for $12 or less CDs. The Regina one was $15. I figured I better check with my friend CV before purchasing.

Lightspeed Champion - Falling Off the Lavender Bridge

I saw them perform on Conan and thought they were worth trying out... only I forgot about them until Cari reminded me they exist. The full album is pretty cool. I like it more than I thought I would.

I gotta say, the album cover doesn't necessarily grab me.

Yet, catchy in its horribleness.

I guess catching is better than grabbing. Grabbing is aggressive, and catching is maybe saving you from a painful fall.
