I will either start my next record or I might take another production or soundtrack before beginning but I promise it wont be too long. So things are moving and let's hope Capitol doesn't throw a monkey wrench in it. I'm glad he said this, I was wondering myself what was going on. And MP's fans can start looking foward to his new record too.

A couple of things... Michael Penn mentioned something about Liz's album to his mailing list, and here's what he had to say: "Hello all and a belated happy holidays. Believe it or not, things are progressing on the web site but it will still be a while. As you know I am producing the new Liz Phair album which is going great and will be out later this year. I think we will be finished in a couple of months and then... well I don't know. I will either start my next record or I might take another production or soundtrack before beginning but I promise it won't be too long." With the groundhog predicting another few weeks of winter, does that mean Liz will stay in hiding for a longer period of time? (Sorry, just let that one slip) And lastly, I'm *still* working on the image gallery problem. It's a huge pain in the ass, and I apologize for the obvious inconvience. - -Ken kenmlee@ix.netcom.com MeSmErIzInG - AnOtHeR LiZ PhAiR WeBsItE http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Club/2471/ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 2 Feb 2002 22:18:34 -0500 From: "overpavement" Subject: re:re: say what? very funny post, ken. one thing i wonder about: didn't EMI just pay mariah a ton of $ to just go away? doesn't EMI own capitol? not that there's a clear connection, but is anyone else concerned that capitol/emi are not really all that eager to see another liz disc AT ALL? that they're really *only* interested in "sure things" at this point? from a business standpoint, the mariah thing makes some sense -- they probably saved themselves $20 or $30mil. but is it a signal that any act who can't guarantee a pretty big return is going to get the axe as part of the new regime's cost-cutting moves? on the one hand i worry about it, but on the other hand it might be a good thing for her in a way (and i've actually defended the record companies in a couple of posts over the years), to get away from capitol, even though i believe the 4-year delay is more her fault than the label's. the reply from ken's capitol contact could mean a lot of things, but one thing it could mean is, 'don't count on it.' between her lazy work habits and capitol's precarious finances, i do wonder when/if we'll see anything new this year at all. michael penn's note to his mailing list is encouraging, but he doesn't really have the experience of trying to get through the final stages of birth with one of her albums, so i'm not sure he isn't being overly optimistic. the bad thing to me will be the even slimmer chance of her doing live shows in 2002. and at some point is 'the road' even going to be appealing to her anymore? i mean, isn't liz going to be 35 this year? at what point does it start to not make sense for her to be singing many of the songs from 'exile' on stage anymore? 35 may not be the cut-off, but it's getting close. or am i just being a douche? i don't mind if she focuses on newer material at her shows, but just get out on the goddam road while you're still in your 30's, for chrissakes. o > Date: Fri, 01 Feb 2002 22:01:06 -0800 > From: Kenneth Lee > Subject: Re: say what? > > Well, I did contact our Capitol Records contact with the following > question... > > Any word on a *tentative* release date > > for Liz's new album? > > And his response was... > > haha > > > > =[ ------------------------------ End of support-system-digest V5 #27 ***********************************
