sounds like a hoot, being passionate.

when i viewed your blog the first time i had heard of spektor but wasn't sure who she was and decided not to watch the video you had for whatever reason.

....

(this is a wonderful anecdote so i had to facilitate a bit of poetic license with the out of place ellipses)

so,

i went out to lunch today with four blazers (they choose the greatest music) and when we got back to school we relaxed in the car listening to their ipod system when infidelity came on.....i absolutely loved it and asked who it was; when they told me i immediately thought of you and this splendid blog.

so,

i put on the video right now and lo and behold! it's the same song, with an equally wonderful video production.

isn's that just a splendid story?

i think so.

:-p

yes, another comment.

i had such success with ms. spektor that i decided to download nina simone's sinnerman (i've never listened to her before).

(it took 4 minutes to download, which is a long time for my computer....i didn't realize it's length until puting it on)

well, to make a short story shorter (i'm long-winded even in brevity, hence all the asides) i thought your comparison to dante's commedia was because of your love for the song....but, wow. that really was a musical equivalent (i was chanting the "power" repititon right along with her at the end, haha)

i now completely trust every musical suggestion or interest you might have.
