The Egyptian Room is Not Your Mom's Basement, Or, My Regina Spektor Experience.

I went to a Regina Spektor concert on Tuesday. It was awesome, right? Right! But why, oh why, dear people, must you sing along in my ear with your bad voices when we have all paid cash money to hear that lady on the stage who has an excellent, interesting voice? I had the same experience at the Mariah Carey concert. I want to sing along, too! But I realize that it would be stupid and arrogant to sing along in a non-karaoke bar, non-shower environment, such as a concert where the famous talented person is RIGHT THERE SINGING FOR US SO PLEASE SHUT UP!

And seriously, girl behind me, no one was impressed that you knew the Russian parts. We just wanted you to SHUT UP.

I was a little bummed that she didn't sing any of my top three favorite sad songs. Here's an example:


Maybe I will put up a picture later.
