The artist is Tracy Spuehler and her album is called 631. She's been compared to Liz and Aimee Mann in a lot of her reviews, and I think she's fabulous. She's just starting out so a lot of her stuff is on the simple side, but very much from the heart. The album is really cute and singable, and you can get it on Amazon or heardiagnally.com. If anyone has it or gets it, I'd love to know what you think. I really recommend it.

Some of the letters, entries, whatever, recently were a bit depressing. Many of us seem to be down, down, down (no more references, promise) about how quiet it is in liz land these days. It's like we have so much frustration about the delayed album that there's anger towards Liz. Very suppressed anger, but still, anger. But you know what, god as queer as i might be sounding, we should chill out a little, step back from it and maybe reflect... It's been a hell of a long time since exile in guyville; think about how much she's changed since recording that album. She grew up, she got married,got pregnant, and got divorced. Think about how much a person must change through all those life experiences. Maybe many of us will be dissapointed with the upcoming An Evening With... and probably we'll all be a little suprised. Either way I know we'll all go buy it, shitty ratings or great ones. I'm probably one of the youngest listers, lizters. No one I know at my school or otherwise has heard of liz phair when i ask them, but they'v got all briteny spear's cds. It's sad how us younguns rely on the radio. No more for me. A few of my friends kinda got into polysester bride when I played it for them, but no recruits. What I'm getting at is that I might be chump for writing this to all you twenty and thirty year olds, but I felt the need. I love liz phair for more reasons than I could ever remember, much less write down. I love the part when she sings "I won't decorate my love" over and over in Nashville. I love her voice after Hurricane Cindy, when she giggles that she wrote it for Cindy Crawford. God, her voice is so fucking cute; it makes me smile. I play shatter over and over, listening to it with my eyes closed. Is it just me or does the quitar vaguely remind you of a zeppelin riff? Well, finally I love Liz because she's just so human, she sings about all her flaws and I instantly connect with it. I read lyrics and shout "That is so me!" She's frank, she's blunt,and sometimes rude; she's beautiful. Liz lives. That's enough for me now.
