Old Shame is In-Universe only


* CreatorBacklash:
** She may feel this way about some songs, they way she [[SelfDeprecation talks about her own work]], but her true old shame is her appearance in the super-obscure film ''[[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0326412/ Winning Girls Through Psychic Mind Control]]'', which she has never, ever mentioned in interviews.
** "Regina at the Market" may count given that it eventually got deleted off her [=YouTube=] channel.

** An old candid video from 2006 of her wandering around an open market eventually got scrubbed from her [=YouTube=] channel, but still gets circulation among fan groups because [[{{Moe}} it's such an incredibly cute]] moment from when she was [[SociallyAwkwardHero more socially awkward]].

*NiceGirl: Regina is pretty much the living embodiment of this trope.

* OneOfUs: Her intelligence and nerdy love of classical literature aside, one particular interlude between songs sticks out. Forgetting her toothbrush on a trip to California, Regina, ever the optimist, reveled in the opportunity to buy a child's toothbrush (as she calls it, "travel sized") featuring Superman. And she dressed as Zorro during a Halloween show.

** For [[Series/OrangeIsTheNewBlack whatever reason]], "You've Got Time" is the same. No piano, but one of her better known songs, especially since Season 2.

Added DiffLines:

* BlackSheepHit: "Fidelity", the only song of hers to come close to troubling the pop charts, features no piano. While not a bad song, that is her signature thing.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: More than two thirds of her catalogue is unavailable on her [=CDs=] - the rest exists only as live bootlegs and studio demos that she appears to be fine with, with one exception - her [[OldShame 1999 Demo]]. Also, her first album, ''11:11'', is only available as a (legit) digital download.
** ''Songs'' was also only ever legally available from an online indie music store (which, thankfully, is still going), and her concerts.
* NoHitWonder: For all her success, Spektor has never had a top 40 hit. The closest she has had to a hit single is "Fidelity", which reached 51 on the Billboard Hot 100.
* OldShame: She may feel this way about some songs, they way she [[SelfDeprecation talks about her own work]], but her true old shame is her appearance in the super-obscure film ''[[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0326412/ Winning Girls Through Psychic Mind Control]]'', which she has never, ever mentioned in interviews.
