I never would've taken Regina Spektor for someone to revel in fart jokes, but I suppose she is the one who told us we don't know her at all (that's really bad). But over at her MySpace, in a post from yesterday titled "far(t)," she gives the update on her new album Far, along with the correct album art. It seems the wrong art the other day, which has somehow set off all this flatulence:
Sorry bout the new cover mix up. We had a million comps, ideas, and we posted the wrong ones... everything is like a kaleidoscope... i'm giving up trying to make things perfect, because they never are... i bet my record comes out called "Fart"... i kind of hope it... i've kind of wanted it to be called fart for a while... ever since i named it far, i wished it was fart...
but you don't need to worry bout all that. I think the cover is right now... and i know that any day now my new song "Laughing With" will be up... We will put it in the player here, and get it out into the world... It's a new song that i never played for people at shows before...
"Laughing With" is up now, and it's no laughing matter. (Thanks for the tip, Matthew.) Take a listen then take a closer look at the album art and tracklist:
01 "The Calculation"
02 "Eet"
03 "Blue Lips"
04 "Folding Chair"
05 "Machine"
06 "Laughing With"
07 "Human Of The Year"
08 "Two Birds"
09 "Dance Anthem"
10 "Genius Next Door"
11 "Wallet"
12 "One More Time With Feeling"
13 "Man Of A Thousand Faces"
Far is out 6/23 via Sire.
