We get it: Regina Spektor is an acquired taste. Not everyone digs her spunky blend of finger-fracturing, piano-based melodies and odd-bird lyrics, but it&rsquo;s difficult to single out another modern pop songwriter with Spektor&rsquo;s visibility who delivers albums like her latest, <em>Far</em>. Like a great novel, <em>Far</em> creates a world of its own, unbound by rules or convention. (Some snipe that she&rsquo;s quirky for the sake of it, but those wags might be confusing her with Lady Gaga.) In a five-star review, we called <em>Far</em> "an endlessly rich album, strewn with fantastic, idiosyncratic and largely accessible pop songs that grow more endearing with each listen." Her live performance will likely engender a similar response.</p><p><hr class="infobox-hr-separator" /> <div class="infobox"> <strong><span class="infobox-head">Regina Spektor </span></strong><br /> 8 p.m. Thursday</p><p>Nokia Theatre, Grand Prairie</p><p>$32.75</p><p>800-745-3000; <a href="http://www.ticketmaster.com">www.ticketmaster.com</a></p><p></div>
