“I don’t even know what the fuck ‘slashies’ are – why would anyone say I hate ‘slashies’?” It’s a question Regina Spektor delivers with a fair amount of passion, understandably outraged at having been misquoted in an article. Worse still, the article’s reference pertained to a close friend and fellow musician. “Karen O is such a star. She’s got that – I don’t know – that particular quality... Read More

It’s a disservice to any artist to judge a new work on the providence of the old, but it is hard to listen to Regina Spektor’s sixth record without feeling like a light is going out somewhere. The Russian born-Brooklyn raised troubadour has done some brilliant things in songwriting, especially when her predilection for bright-eyed whimsy is indulged just enough to let her astute observations of...

So then, what's the band name and what do you 'do' in the band? Susy Blue. I'm the benevolent dictator; I write the songs and their arrangements, sing them and occasionally play flute, piccolo and more recently keys.   Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like ?   Weimer and whimsy (I will say it again so I am right)....

Steph Hannah asks Miss Elm: What inspires your song-writing?   Usually, it is really horrible males.   What has been your favourite gig you've played at so far?   A small warehouse (turned circus arena) called 'contortionist studios' back in Brisbane last month packed full of attentive and warming smiles.
