Regina Spektor Is Laughing With Optical Illusions & Sky-Painted Pianos

Gorgeous Brooklyn babe Regina Spektor's great new single "Laughing With" (the first from the upcoming Far) gets the video treatment. I hunted and hunted for it, because homey don't pay $1.99 to download videos from iTunes.

It was worth the search. Regina finds herself in a world surrounded by pen and ink drawings and optical illusions. She even goes to take off her mask, and instead removes her head. It's reminds me of an antique parlor game, like a music video directed by an Exquisite Corpse. It works with the juxtoposition of the "laughing" lyrics and the somber piano playing off the goofy-yet-lovely surroundings. Anyway, you should totally watch it at Culture Bully, because every time I try to embed it, my sidebar dissapears and the video won't play. Arg!
