Another vote for good canadian music!!

good luck on going to the front. I tried a couple of weeks ago and it died in the queue.

She's almost there - go Regina, go!

am not bitter...am not bitter.

If it's any consolation ('misery' loves company), it's happened to me before where the roles were reversed - so yay?

Well, I heard this song live when she was in Seattle back in May, so

Not bad.

Oi Krupo, much as I'd like to claim Ms. Spektor as being Canadian, Wikipedia says she's from the States (after immigrating there from Mother Russia). That said, good post

I get "cutie" and "swinging" (and "Canadian"'s apparently wrong), but what's in any way, shape, or form "folk" about this song?

Or has "alt.country" caught on enough that anything that sounds like traditional or "country" music - and yet appeals to hipsters/indie people - gets called that now, leaving "folk" free for anything?

(Yes, I'm an indie music fan. No, I'm definitely not "indie people".)

Thanks for the clarification - that's what I get for piecing together history from the back of old sugar packets.

Wikipedia is much better. Wow, this vid had 200k views in two days...

I obviously missed it here earlier, but luckily, John Scalzi's blog sent me hunting for it here. It's not just a great song, but the video has wonderful visual metaphors.

man, this song would be amazing except for the stupid fa-a-a-a-a-alll style stuff. If she held the note instead of warbling like a broken toy, it would easily be my fav song by her.
