Regina Spektor checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Tuesday (May 19), talking about an imposter on Twitter (the account has since been suspended). The singer songwriter tells readers:
I found out that there has been a mystery person posing as me on twitter for a while. A long while. And that person has quite a following. A whole lot of people. Even my record label thought it was me. And it made it into the London Times top twitters list. Somehow I had no idea. And I’ve never twittered yet, in my life, so it feels very wierd. Like my identity has been stolen, or at least borrowed.
So, I just wanted to pass that on. Whoever is the other me on twitter is quite good at it, so I hope now that they get the chance to stop pretending, they will use their talents of writing and blogging in some other cool new way. Anyhow, I’m not on facebook either, though I am aware of an “official page” there. I write my blogs on MySpace and my dad posts them up, and sometimes when I can, I post them myself.

Regina Spektor updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Monday (March 16), talking about her fifth album coming out in June and tour plans in support of it. The New York alternative pop artist tells readers:
My record, that I’ve been working on for a while now, with four wonderful producers, is finished. It’s going to come out in June! I did an interview with Pitchfork about it, and today it came out, so it’s starting to sink in that this is really happening… wow… wow. Wow! The feeling of being on a roller coaster and looking down at the plummet… Both exciting and terrifying. More exciting though… much more.

Regina Spektor spoke with Time Off magazine about the status of her fifth album and about touring Australia for the first time. “It’s all theory at the moment,” she said regarding the new material. “It’s like baking a cake in theory, but then all of a sudden you have to handle stuff with your own hands and you accidentally spill half of the milk, so you’ve only got half of it in the cake. Everything changes, you know. Man plans and God laughs. I might meet someone tomorrow who plays the best banjo I’ve ever heard and I might end up with banjo on my record.” Timeoff.com.au has since removed the full article.
