insanity laughs, under pressure we're breaking

HT to gib and the fine work at Spektor's Thesaurus for inspiring/shaming me into getting around to some of these things...

It's a wonder I get anything done, and you're just fool enough to keep me around

I cleared the cobwebs here just enough to toss up a few odds & sods that I'm told had fallen out of circulation, plus two "new" shows from 2003 that had managed to slip past me until now.

I also sadly learned that Morgan Taylor - who years ago worked as a sound engineer at The Living Room in Manhattan (where Regina played many times) and who was a gifted songwriter and artist in his own right - passed away suddenly just last week. Please consider pitching in to a GoFundMe to assist his wife (Rachel Loshak, a great singer-songwriter too) and two young children.

The world weighs a ton, and I'm too young...

Excuse me - I'm sorry to bother you, but I just have to tell you, I love your voice.

The A.V. Club asked comedian Tig Notaro:

What’s the best thing you listened to in 2012?
Regina Spektor’s song “How.” On repeat.

We must get older, so wake up

There's a price to pay, and a consequence

The (outstanding) lead single from Regina's upcoming LP "What We Saw from the Cheap Seats" is available from iTunes .

Spending warm summer days indoors

Newly unearthed: 2006-06-01 New York, NY | Angel Orensanz Center

Go down the checklist, let's see...feelings are good...dishonesty is bad...and keeping it inside is worse still

A few tracks from this show have been out for a while (including the debut performance of Uh-merica); the full set includes a performance of the untitled song 'the devil come to Bethlehem' and a classic mid-song improv during Dance Anthem of the 80s: 2003-05-30 New York, NY | Sin-é

After his father crashed, he moved his family back and vowed to never leave the ground

An old show featuring Anders Griffen, what may be the first public performance of Poor Little Rich Boy, and a little something extra: 2002-05-01 New York, NY | Tonic

If you think like Thomas Edison, could you invent a word for me?

Carefully Laid Wires, Remembering It

Thursday 9/24 marked Regina's second performance of the unreleased song tentatively titled "Carefully Laid Plans" by the community, but known only as "Solo Song" on the set list.  This mysterious new track was captured in Philly in listenable quality for the first time, and is now available here, along with the rest of the show.  Also included is a quick rendition of "Happy Birthday" for Jack Dishel of past Regina openers Only Son and Little Joy.
