Spektor in SPIN

Firstly, Regina Spektor’s new album Far debuted at No. 3 on Billboard’s Hot 200 chart. EPIC WIN.

Secondly, Regina is featured in the latest issue of SPIN, which you can read online for free. Score!

“Aaaaaaaaaaaahh! Can we change the channel?” Regina Spektor pleads, shielding her eyes from a fight scene unfolding on the motor-home TV. “This is too scary for me.” The driver, clearly miffed at the prospect of not finishing his bootleg copy of Watchmen, eyes the singer — her cherry-red lipsticked mouth cast in a girlish pout — and finally obliges, switching to…Jurassic Park.

“Are you kidding?” Spektor, 29, laughs, as a velociraptor chases Jeff Goldblum across the screen. “I’m such a sissy. I can’t even handle Animal Planet.” She pauses, shaking her head. “The world is too much.” >>>>>>>You can read the rest of the article online here, just jump to page 64.

Thirdly, word on the street is Regina closed her T in the Park set this weekend with “Love, You’re a Whore”. Good to know she’s still playing that tune live, especially with that US tour right around the corner!
