the fall of LISA LOEB

the long-awaited "anywhere but here" soundtrack (featuring "i wish") hits your local nationwide conglomerate music-chain store on october 12th, and the never-really-expected "friends 2" soundtrack (featuring "summer") hits shelves on november 2nd. while all of this hitting is normally a bad thing, this time around it's actually great for us, as we're treated to *two* brand-new LISA LOEB songs to hold us off til the next album. personally, i hope the "friends" disc has an extended version of phoebe's "fetus" song in it, cause that song ruled like no other.

also, VH1 will be airing lisa's performance at the sundance film festival on september 14th. a cd of that performance (an acoustic version of "falling in love") will then be sold exclusively at starbucks through october 27th, and then finally through regular retail outlets (for "regular" people) on november 2. from what i remember, the disc also has jill sobule, abra moore, duncan sheik, eagle eye cherry, and blondie, and sounds very promising ..

anyway, most of this came straight from the official LISA LOEB site, so if any information is wrong, it's their fault, not mine.

the september '99 issue of "movieline" magazine (with sharon stone on the cover) spotlights a one-page sssssexy interview with LISA LOEB. she talks about everything from cough syrup to "hello kitty" vibrators, and if that alone doesn't make you run out and buy the magazine, i have No Frickin' Idea what will.

LISA III

lisa is currently working on a follow-up to "firecracker," due .. uhh .. anytime between right now and the end of this year. or early next year. or maybe even some time after that. at any rate, she'll be on the soundtrack to a movie called "anywhere but here," starring susan sarandon and natalie portman ("my peepo ah DAH-yeeng, senatah!!"), with a brand new song called "i wish (anywhere but here)" .. you can go to jammer's lisa loeb shrine if you want to see the lyrics to the song, or if you want to read more about it ..

two jars and a loeb in a robe?

the internet is buzzing over rumors that LISA LOEB has been asked to play the much-hyped "female jedi" in star wars: episode two. while no one can confirm or deny these rumors, a lucasfilms insider had this to say, at a recent press conference: "what we're looking for is someone with the presence and the aura of a well-trained jedi knight. we've got a choice list of candidates right now, but cannot say for certain who will be cast at this time." the insider added, "we are, however, very impressed with lisa's natural ability to levitate objects with her mind .. in the long run, that should save us a lot of money on pointless special effects." more on this shocking situation as it develops!!
