Regina InSpektor

Sooooo... I love RS. I do. I've been down with this gal since 2004's Soviet Kitsch when I was up late one night in my State College apt watching old reruns of Degrassi and they played her video "Us." From then, I was hooked and needed to look everywhere for any song that I could possibly get my hands on. Terrible to say, but I searched high and low on Limewire for her previous CD's and with my luck, I downloaded them all. Yay!

I went out and bought Soviet Kitsch and faithfully bought Begin to Hope the day it came out. Although it took me a good 2 months before I could really get into the latter because I felt it wasn't as quirky or exciting as Soviet Kitsch. No matter though. I was truly happy when people other than Spektor Heads started giving her the recognition she deserved. Although I do believe Grey's Anatomy took it a bit far, by playing "Fidelty" on almost every single episode.

Though when an episode of Weeds played "Ghost of Corporate Future" during the end credits I truly rejoiced!

Ok, enough of my Regina raving. Enjoy one of these great RS songs. Don't be surprised when you are hooked as well.

(I wish I was going to Coachella just to see her)

Um -1 degrees??

I live along the East River. I'm a 30 second walk from Avenue C even though I always tell everyone 20th & 1st. It's nice to walk along the river, cry along the river as I did one day for 45 minutes (because after a stressful summer of interviews, I didn't see my life going anywhere) and see the sun rise and watch as Greenpoint shines under the its warm glow. This is all well and good.... in the Summer.

I wish I didn't live along the East River right now. I had me a lil babysitting gig on the UWS (Upper Best Side, as I like to say, even though I think the LES is waaaaaaaaaay better, New Yorkers die for the CPW addy) and yeah it was cold, but maybe all that money in pocket fueled my walk 4 blocks and an avenue to 86th. After my unneeded 25 minute wait for the L at 12am; I found myself attacked by the wind. For 6 blocks and 2 avenues over from 14th and 1st I thought my face was being rudely chipped off with an ice pick. My eyes watered so much I couldn't see. My fingers, although in my cute beige New York Co. gloves, were about to snap off and my ears? Oh my ears. They could have been weapons depending on how you broke them off.

Earth I love you and I'm glad to be on the only planet that has life (possibly) but really... the wind? on top of the cold? Is that necessary?

I hate you wind.

People Love Lily

So, being able to get all the "cool" mags early I read in pure happyiness that Lily Allen's album Alright, Still received a glorious 3 1/2 stars from People Magazine. Yayyyy Lily! Pick up the Feb 5th, 2007 copy of People on newsstands today. Didn't that sound all official and shit. Like I was on the radio.

Faran Krentcil ... that's all I have to say

So, I didn't realize who the HELL I was emailing today, when I was just asking Faran@Fashionista.com to add me to the It List of her new blog "Fashionista." Um, hello, I just moved to the city, this whole underground Blogger Nation thing is unbelievable new and LARGE to me. So I read an article about her and her new blog, in The Huffington Post and I realized, she's no ordinary bloggerette.

So like any web savvy person of the 21st century, I googled her. Faran Krentcil. I thought she was just a blogger who had some ins with Gawker, but no. She's huge. This one has written for New York Magazine. She's huge in the NY blogger/blogger world, and Fashionista.com is NOT her first little venture. Not only did I email her, but we had a total of 10 emails back and forth. 4 of them hers. I have definitely just soiled myself. Why you ask? Because I gave up a possible interning position with her, for my riveting current job.

I want to crawl in a hole and die... on a lighter note, my custom made Hobo bag from 144 Collection is coming this weeeeeeek! Awesome!
