Today's Quick Mention: You would think that the announcement of
the iPhone 3GS would make an iPhone lover like myself very happy, but it
doesn't. There just aren't enough new features to warrant the super
high price tag that AT&T is going to slap on it in order to let me upgrade.
Talk about disappointing.
Fresh off putting out Laughing With, which I strongly believe will
end up being the worst song of 2009, Regina Spektor has a new tune to help
promote the upcoming release of Far. To be honest, I didn't
have much faith in the album after I heard the aforementioned travesty, but
the track below is one quirky gem, and now I'm back to being interested.
Hurry up June 23! Enjoy.

Spektor - Folding Chair:
Finally! This weird pop song is exactly what I was
expecting to get from Regina. I love the hand claps,
how peppy her vocals are, the sweet talk about how perfect
her body is...and is that gorilla-esque grunting at 2:08?
Yes it is, and it makes no sense in the most glorious of
ways. Songbirds are a dime a dozen, and I think that
anything they can do to stand out and show who they really
are is the way to go. I really hope the rest of Far
is similarly random.
