“Laughing With” reminds that “no one’s laughing at God” in heartbreaking fashion. “No one’s laughing at God when it’s gotten real late and their kid’s not back from that party yet,” she says.
We do a lot of things with God. We call her name in moments of ecstasy, play tricks on her and let her play tricks on us, call on her when we want good news, and shut her away when we’re finished.
Far reminds us that God can be funny, that finding a wallet can include a story and that being “Human of the Year” isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. And, all the while, Regina Spektor reminds us how beautiful, strange, and passionate a performer she is.

So any possibility I can get you to write a tag article for "anti-folk" Jordan? Cause if you don't claim it, I will.

I can probably get around to one in a few days once my stack of review stuff gets smaller, but if you want to have a crack at it, g'head.
