Welcome to Spektor's Thesaurus, the web's newest and most comprehensive Regina Spektor fansite! After a lot of preparation, we are finally ready to launch. A huge thank you to all of the fans who have contributed over the last several years to get us to this point. This website and archive wouldn't be possible without contributions - both big and small - from countless fans all over the world. While we are not officially affiliated with Regina and her team, we were so moved by her art and the community that surrounds it, we wanted to give back by making all of the slowly evaporating ephemera organized and available for years to come. We hope you'll enjoy!
Across the site, you'll find many hidden gems, including every song Regina has ever written, performed, or contributed to, an extensive concert archive with as much media as we could find (audio, video, photos, and posters - some of which was thought to be lost), all known demo recordings, a complete listing of Regina Spektor's discography no matter how small the contribution, audio and video interviews over the years, and even fan-made content, such as sheet music. When possible, we also try to provide some analysis to highlight the history and importance of certain songs, releases, or concerts. We encourage you to explore the history and evolution of her music and even particular songs, such as her unreleased material or first performances of each song.
As new announcements are made, new material gets unearthed, or new bootlegs get created, we'll make sure to publish on this site and update you via this blog.
Again, we hope you enjoy and even get inspired to contribute. We look forward for what's to come both for Regina's music and the site!
