When I saw Regina perform last year, it was an outdoor show during a rainstorm. She walked out with a bucket, and dumped it over her head before she started the first song.

Oh Regina, I wish you’d find _my_ wallet…  
Also, I’ve gotten around to listening to **Feist** ’s album **The Reminder** , and it easily blows away her first three albums. The songs are starting to breathe and move with a purpose, with a dash of flair and sprinkle of weird. She’s definitely got her own style, but I can finally see why Pandora would dare compare her to Regina…

Regina’s amazing live. I’m seeing her for a third time this June, at Bonnaroo – where I also saw her the first time, in 2007 – and I’m as excited to see her a third time as I am to see Tori Amos for the first time at the same event.

Another vote for Tori Amos as a key influence.

But if you’re looking for more, you might like [Keren Ann](http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Karen+Ann&search_type=&aq=f) (her stage name). [This take on her “Not Going Anywhere”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1504cSBhWG0&feature=related) is probably as good a start as any…
