Sverigefavoriten Regina Spektor Är Tillbaka Med Efterlängtat Album, “What We Saw from the Cheap Seats” 2012-03-15 11:00 CET Sverigefavoriten Regina Spektor är tillbaka med efterlängtat album, “What We Saw From The Cheap Seats”,. Besöker Peace & Love festivalen i sommar. 30 maj släpps det efterlängtade albumet “What We Saw From The Cheap Seats”via Sire/Warner Bros. Records i Sverige. Första singeln “All The Rowboats”finns tillgänglig digitalt nu. På nya albumet återförenas Reginamed sin producent-partner Mikke Elizondo (Eminem, Fiona Apple, Dr Dre), det är Reginas första album sen “Far” som släpptes 2009. Den 21 april släpper Reginatvå ryska låtar, “The Prayer Of François Villon (Molitva)” och “Old Jacket (Stariy Pedjak),” som hon gör till sina egna i exklusiva tolkningar för Record Store Day. Reginahar även fått den stora äran att framföra sitt nya material på turné med Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers på deras USA turné. “What We Saw From The Cheap Seats”spelades in under åtta veckor förra sommaren i Los Angeles. Spektor skrev själv elva av låtarna på albumet. Tillsammans med Elizondo jobbade de fram arrangemanget till låtarna för att få varje låt att stå ut från mängden. De flesta låtarna spelades in live med Spektor bakom pianot och mikrofonen för att sedan i efterhand lägga resten av instrumenten på dessa orginalinspelningar. Elizondo beskriver hur det var att arbeta med albumet ;“Regina Spektor is that rare artist that continues to surprise. Just when you think you have her figured out, she knocks you out with something completely different. It’s that spirit that drives this record. Each song takes you on a journey that only Regina is capable of providing. She has truly outdone herself.” Regina är en skolad klassisk pianist och skapade sig ett stadigt växande fanskara i New York där hon spelade mycket live under början av sin karriär. Sedan släpptes debutalbumet “Soviet Kitsch” 2004 och “Begin To Hope” 2006, som innehöll världshitarna “Fidelity” och “Samson”. Albumet tog Regina till de stora arenorna och gav henne en svensk guldskiva. “On ‘Rowboats,’ Spektor finally matches her memorable lyrical tales to music that’s just as, if not more than, dramatic.”—Billboard “With minor-key pianos, machine-gun drums, and thoughtful musings on museum paintings, she goes form pixiesh to serious, all in three and a half very dramatic minutes.”—Entertainment Weekly “Ms. Spektor can write pop songs when she wants to. But pop is far from the only thing she wants.”—The New York Times “A singular songwriting voice that spans genres and personas with grace and apparent ease.” —NPR Music För mer information eller vid intervjuförfrågningar vänligen kontakta Malin Persson, [email protected] Warner Music International, a leading company in national and international repertoire operates through numerous international affiliates and licensees in more than 50 countries.

  • An Anthem for Sad Girls Who Don't Know Heartbreak, but Do Know The
    An Anthem for Sad Girls Who Don’t Know Heartbreak, But Do Know the Bible Hannah Gordon You are my sweetest downfall Regina Spektor I loved you first, I loved you first “Samson” The first time I heard “Samson” by Regina Spektor, I cried. Begin to Hope I’m sure you did, too. It’s just that kind of song. 06/2006 Sire I was in my best friend Rebecca’s bedroom, staring at the ceiling fan going round and round, and pretending I was someone else. We were drinking her parents’ liquor—too much Jack mixed with not enough Coke—and texting boys with our plans to sneak out later that night. All of our weekends were spent like this, so we knew that we’d never actually follow through with it. We’d end up re-watching Pride and Prejudice or Breakfast at Tiffany’s, just drunk enough to feel dizzy and fall asleep early. In the morning, we’d make banana pancakes doused in maple syrup, lumpy and sticky sweet. Hearing that song was a revelation. It was transcendent. Maybe it was all the Jack and Cokes. But maybe it wasn’t. At fifteen, I thought I knew heartbreak, if only vicariously: I’d read books, seen movies, and listened to songs like “Samson.” My aching, teenage heart would shatter anew with each fictional iteration of something I had yet to experience myself. This hurt, this pain— I thought it was the real thing. Or, at least, I thought it could compare. “What is this?” I asked her once the song finished.

I analyze different visual and narrative strategies developed by the directors of youth cinema during the Brezhnev period as mechanisms for circumventing ideological control over cultural production.

  • Regina Spektor Kommer Till Hultsfred!
    2008-12-16 11:08 CET REGINA SPEKTOR KOMMER TILL HULTSFRED! Med 2006-års album "Begin To Hope" gick Regina Spektor från att vara en hyllad artist på alternativscenen till att bli en guldsäljande världsstjärna. Nu är det klart att Regina Spektor kommer till Hultsfred nästa sommar. Det blir hennes första Sverigespelning på nästan två år. De helgjutna albumen "Soviet Kitsch" och "Begin To Hope" har mutat in den rysk-amerikanska singer/songwritern Regina Spektor som en av nutidens mest hyllade artister. Att hon dessutom är helt fenomenal live har givetvis bidragit till att hennes fanskara stadigt vuxit under de fyra år som gått sen "Soviet Kitsch" först letade sig ut från New Yorks undergroundscen, för att nå ut till en betydligt större internationell publik. Det riktigt stora genombrottet kom med "Begin To Hope" och singeln "Fidelity", som båda två sålt guld i USA. Efter att tidigare i december framför allt ha släppt svenska artister kan Hultsfred nu avslöja att Regina Spektor kommer att uppträda på festivalens största scen Hawaii i sommar. Därmed är den första av festivalens internationella headliners till 2009 bokad. - Regina Spektor är en artist med gränslös talang och ett säreget uttryck som omedelbart skiljer henne från mängden, men i stället för att vila på det erbjuder hon dessutom ett unikt fokus och popsinne i sin musik. Det känns grymt kul att presentera en internationell popakt på Hawaii, och ännu mer kul att presentera en av våra personliga favoriter, säger Åsa Johnsen, bandbokare Hultsfred För tillfället är Regina Spektor i studion och jobbar med sitt kommande album.

  • News Media Industry
    Spring 2007 Industry Study Final Report News Media Industry The Industrial College of the Armed Forces National Defense University Fort McNair, Washington, D.C. 20319-5062 i NEWS MEDIA 2007 ABSTRACT: The ability of US citizens to freely express their views and opinions is a gift we must never take for granted. A key means by which our government and citizens communicate is the News Media. This critical industry is now experiencing tremendous change. Technological advances have led to an explosion in communication media that now provide consumers more news options than ever before. Traditional media such as newspapers, television and radio are being forced to develop digital media in order to maintain and attract a wider customer base. Historical advertising and business models are no longer adequate, but finding a replacement has proven difficult. This critical industry will survive the challenges of today, but the future state of the industry remains uncertain.

  • Bill Grace - Poems
    Poetry Series Bill Grace - poems - Publication Date: 2009 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Bill Grace() 'The poets have become the pastors of our time.' Helmut Thielicke AUTOBIOGRAPHY; In 1976 an extremely modest chapbook of poetry was published titled 'The Halcyon Poems.' In 1996, 'Snippets of His Glory While I Wait' a second chapbook was produced. A third chapbook is planned which will be influenced by reader feed back and also a writers critique group that meets at Gemini Ink, a writer's cooperative in San Antonio, Texas. The projected title is: 'Poems Twice Read on the World Wide Web' and the full title page will add the phrase: 'and other confessions of an agora poet.' In seminary Bob Leslie was the professor I studied with more than any other. Robert C. Leslie published 'Jesus and Logotherapy.' This work came out of his year of study with Victor Frankl. The word 'noetic' has come to me out of these influences. Frankl understood the word 'noetic' to mean the spiritual but a spirituality that is not religiously based. I hope that some of the poetry contained in this blog is spiritual but only a very small fraction is orthodox. I am a poet of the noetic. In those moments of pure religion that I dip into I turn to my own great tradition that is Christianity whose central core, that I sometimes struggle to live, is SACRIFICIAL love. Sacrificial love is far easier said than done. Autobiography represents a wonderful opportunity to say 'thank you' to the teachers, professors, counselors, mentors and therapists to whom I owe a legion of thanks.
