Damn this is weird. I don't have a chance to check this out right now, but Regina Spektor is an artist I listened to a lot back around 2006/7, then kind of fell off of her music. But literally yesterday I was thinking about her again and how I hadn't listen to her in so long and wondering if she'd released any new music in that time and suddenly here you are.

If you’re unfamiliar with Regina Spektor, she has the uncanny ability to write genuinely odd lyrics that get infused with genuine resonance due to her delivery and arrangements. I don’t know any other artist who’s able to do what she does.
The first track in this concert (not including her delightful opening ad-lib) is a good example. “Loveology” starts as a pretty traditional song, but it switches gears halfway through. Spektor directly addresses the audience as if she’s a college professor and begins listing topics of study including… “porcupinology” and “antlerology”?
It’s odd, but the second half of the song manages to exist in this weirdness yet also soar at the same time. That’s a big part of Spektor’s talent and one of the reasons I love listening to her work. Not every song she does shoots for that dynamic, but when she does aim at it, she almost never misses.
