gangsu Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Yes! She's real. All she needs is a stick, or one finger on the keys, and she's got it covered. http://www.myspace.com/reginaspektor "........! Try to make It..REAL! compared to what? ! ! !

Steve LeBlanc Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 you guys are crazy...I was listening to her new album last night...it is very deep and has some truly amazing piano playing on it. in short, I was very moved and therefore posted this thread to see if anyone else feels the same. All she needs is a stick, or one finger on the keys, and she's got it covered.sometimes a few notes are harder to play than 100s, I thought people knew that, or did you mean something else? regardless, she does more than what you hear on her myspace page, she can play the piano real good http://www.youtube.com/notesleb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gangsu Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Originally posted by Steve LeBlanc: you guys are crazy...Whoa, I'm a marked man! No, I agree with you. She's remarkable. It takes a little depth to appreciate that one perfect note, and I'm with ya. I hope! In the same way, it's easy to sew an eye-popping party dress; it's the simple black sheath that really requires some skill. The consequence of sounds! I hope Keyboard features her sometime.

Steve LeBlanc Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 heh...ah ok, I misunderstood you, mostly 'cause I couldn't understand soundscape's comment the sound the engineer got on her voice on her first record, coupled with the quirky way she sang on it didn't do much for me...but on the new album she sings wonderfully and the sound is much better, I was excited listening last night and that is rare for me these days when it comes to major label artists. And yes, if Keyboard doesn't feature her some time soon, it would be a real shame considering a er, 'less talented' pianist they featured a while back...cough, excuse me heh Cheers! http://www.youtube.com/notesleb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundscape Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Originally posted by Steve LeBlanc: heh...ah ok, I misunderstood you, mostly 'cause I couldn't understand soundscape's comment Well, given the last reply I remember getting from you was "Right on. Buuurp" (http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?/ubb/get_topic/f/18/t/018974/p/2.html#000048)... I'm not sure of the point of giving a more detailed answer. Incidentally, although photo shoots and other marketing materials can't be used to judge music quality, what on earth are these?

Steve LeBlanc Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 right on...buuuuurp Photographic art is a thing, i never saw them before but dig the polaroids, whatever...there is a lot of stuff that can be found in the trash on the streets of New York, maybe she's saying something about that. Or maybe it's some kind of marketing genius, fuck if I know. I bought her CD based on what I'd heard, not what I saw and was very pleasantly surprised to find the meat of the album is better than the singles...to my ears. http://www.youtube.com/notesleb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundscape Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Well, that pretty much answers it doesnt it? It is appears that her music is not 'beautiful' (and certainly not in any 'glossy' sense.) It then goes right back to supposed 'meaning' vs. (attractive) aesthetics.

Steve LeBlanc Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 ??? I think she just put some interesting polaroids on her website, she also has more polished (beautiful) pictures on her site taken by professional photographers...the more polished photos are what is used when she is being promoted by her label. maybe I did too many drugs in my youth? http://www.youtube.com/notesleb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundscape Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Do you find her music has a glossy sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve LeBlanc Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 I'm not sure I know what you mean by glossy but it is very beautiful and near-perfectly constructed btw, if my posts seem abrasive, it's not on purpose, I'm a bit hungover today http://www.youtube.com/notesleb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridog6996 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Not a huge fan, but I can dig her scene. In other words, I like what I hear, but not enough to spend $15 on a CD. Maybe if I had more to spend. She reminds me of a female Sufjan Stevens (which is a good thing). My YouTube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
