Regina Spektor’s Summer in the City

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:47:32 GMT

Regina Spektor’s Summer in the City: In the broadest sense, both Regina Spektor and Aimee Mann are often described as singer/songwriters. Those words, when put together, are usually considered a genre but they’re not really. There are a lot of singers who write songs but aren’t considered singer/songwriters. It’s all a bit of a nonsense.That said, both Mann and Spektor are fabulous. And they put on very different shows. Mann has a full band, and in general she keeps the between-song banter to a minimum. Spektor is on the stage alone, switching between the piano, keyboard, and, at a couple of points, nothing but the mike stand. It’s the differences that make both sets wonderful.Aimee Mann‘s debut solo album, Whatever, was released 30 years ago, in 1993. For a decade before that of course, she fronted Boston new wave band ‘Til Tuesday, scoring a hit with “Voices Carry.” There’s none of that for Mann nowadays, and there’...

He takes a glass and dips the rim … Wait, what is that? Salt? Sugar? This hard-charging, chain-smoking scientist isn’t making a Lemon Drop, is he?Turns out he had his own concoction — a strong one. The Oppenheimer Martini is gin with just a splash of dry vermouth, with a rim that’s been dipped in a mixture of honey and lime juice.The Lexington House version of the Oppenheimer Martini, with the honey-lime mixture for the rim.
