this song will attach itself to my brain and not let go for weeks at a time, also. Its a catchy song. The first time I heard it, I thought "Hrm."..now, I like it lots.
I heard it once on XM and it just wouldn't get out of my head, so I bought the album on iTunes as soon as I could. I think my Last.fm "now listening to" listing was pretty heavily-weighted towards that album for a few days.
I heard a Regina Spektor interview on NPR sometime last year, and made a mental note to add her album to my iTunes to-buy list. Of course, that mental note got misplaced until just now...
I kept meaning to pick up "Soviet Kitsch", but that's a mental note that kept getting lost in the same way as yours. I bought the new album on iTunes in part because it was mentioned in their "new music Tuesday" email, otherwise I'm sure I'd have forgotten this one too. =)
Ha, love it! (Of course, now I have teh brainwormz, but that's okay)
I especially like the way she's playing the chords on the piano but the actual music is (if I'm remembering my music terminology correctly) pizzicato strings. Not only is it different than what my brain expects (which is pretty neat) it gets bonus points for being complementary to what my brain expects (what's the opposite of hitting strings with a hammer to get sound? Plucking them! Brilliant! ^_^)
Of course, now I have teh brainwormz, but that's okay
Hee! Sorry? I heard this once on XM and it was firmly lodged in my brain for the next week. Then I bought the album and listened to it like five or six times in a row, and that helped a little. Still find myself singing it at random times though.
