Regina Spektor is hot

I found about Regina from a friend of a friend. I promptly spent the next two hours pouring through her YouTube site and her website, watching her videos. I even (gasp) bought one of her two CDs (Begin to Hope) at BestBuy when I wandered through the other day.

Stop and let that sink in a moment.

I. Bought. A. Retail. CD.

In this day of Itunes and Ipods and digital music stores and Limewire and IRC, I actually thought enough of this girl’s music to stop and buy the whole CD. I think the last CD I bought was Stone Sour, who promptly turned into one hit wonders. Maybe that doesn’t speak much for my taste in music, but who cares.

My only regret is that I didn’t get her other CD (Soviet Kitsch), and that there’s no way I’m going to be able to make her next show in Atlanta on the 28th.
