IN THE NEWS:
SoundSpike's Song of the Day for Wednesday (1/19) is "Magic," off Only Son's sophomore set, "Searchlight" (Red General Catalog), which was released yesterday (1/18).
Piano-playing singer/songwriter Regina Spektor just came out with her first live concert film and album, "Live in London" (Sire Records), and will appear on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" Tuesday (11/23). 
More than 75,000 people filled Great Stage Park in Manchester, TN, for the 2010 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival. The four-day event kicked off last Thursday (6/10) and wrapped up yesterday (6/13).
Regina Spektor will perform at The White House for the first-ever White House reception in honor of Jewish American Heritage Month, according to a press release.
You'd swear that Regina Spektor was your wisest storytelling grandparent--based on her detailed observations of mortality, human nature, religion and war. She's more like a best friend when she makes silly dolphin sounds or pounds her keyboard and sings about digital technology and modern sexual liaisons. For her third major-label album, "Far," Spektor plays both roles and comes across more profound, amusing and undeniably brilliant than ever.
