Your such a teaser. - -- Brett Jones brett@5foot2.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Feb 2003 22:40:34 -0800 From: Kenneth Lee Subject: the Liz interview part 2 Hi again, I wasn't going to post so soon, but since Jase posted that information about the Rock The Vote show, I feel obliged to skip ahead in the interview for the pertinent information... Ken: Is the new album's release date really May 22nd? It falls on a Thursday, and usually new releases come out on Tuesdays. Liz: The cd is definitely coming out end of May. I hired a new manager, Greg Latterman, who is based in Chicago actually (how ironic). He seems like a very hooked in guy and had the most fascinating plans. We have so much work to do before then. Every time they test me on the phone and I say, implacably, "I am not missing my releases date," there is this silence for a moment when the mental work load kind of dumps on their heads for a moment, and then they draw breath and blood back to their brain and reply, "ok. We've got alot of work to do then." I don't care. I'm excited. Little shows are popping up, like the Fred FAbulous Five, or whatever they're called, Donovan Leitch's all star band, (He is such a cool cat, by the way)so I can fly out to the Grammies in NYC and do a song with them, maybe I will ask Ben Lee. David Gray, maybe, in LA. Starbucks party, maybe in Austin, S by SW. Little stuff. Rolling into bigger stuff. Rolling rolling rolling. Keep them doggies rolling. Keep them roadies loading, RAWHIDE! So, there you go. Straight from Liz -- Rock the Vote in NY, possible performance at the Grammies, Starbucks party in LA, and an Austin SXSW appearance. You heard it here first. Okay, that's enough for now, right? :-) - -Ken kenmlee@ix.netcom.com MeSmErIzInG - AnOtHeR LiZ PhAiR WeBsItE http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Club/2471/ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2003 03:39:49 -0500 From: "DarkSide oftheMoon" Subject: a twin peaks connection? Liz says: 'No clue about Julie Johnson. There are a couple of good songs on there that I would be happy to have see the light of day, especially this one called She's gone Crazy' that angelo badelimente (sp?!) produced that was haunting and I'd like to hear again. Can you believe I write and record these songs and then lose track of them and keep no copies? What kind of a loser am I?' Angelo Badalamenti? Of Twin Peaks/David Lynch/Julee Cruise fame? How cool is that? I wanna hear that one!

I always had this mental image of this poor helpless girl stanidng broken in some Roman coliseum while these gladiator types with the same face encircle her. Yeah, I guess cherry is better. "i hope i'm not belaboring the point, but i think the sexual references just serve to underscore her profound bitterness. i don't think there's any "come on" or double entendre in there at all. she's just being supremely sarcastic, albeit in a defeated way..." and so on. That's still a somewhat juvenile interpretation of the song. The interpretation itself being juvenile. You're cutting the song short if you only see it as this broken woman hating her life and resenting everything. There's more emotion going on than that. Yeah, she's chained down and all, but she's a grown mature woman, like you said, and while she has learned that life goes on long after the thrill of living is done, she's not taking a puddle of mudd outlook on her life. The song, and of course this is all just to me, is delivered with a smirk, not a sigh. Like a Paul Simon song. Yeah, just like a Paul Simon song. The immense sadness of the song comes in her acceptance and complete understanding of it. circle the cherry. that's so dirty. je ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2003 21:32:52 -0500 (EST) From: Stephen Griffes Subject: Re: support-system-digest V6 #35 whoa, liz worked with angelo badelamenti for a jj song? that is a hookup I can't even imagine. weird. i recently got marianne faithfull/angelo badelamenti's "This Secret Life". It's pretty decent and yes, "haunting" tho taking time to grow.. i just read pj harvey is writing w/ marianne btw...another unlikely but super exciting pairup. steve. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2003 22:04:37 -0500 From: Jase Subject: Re: support-system-digest V6 #35 Steve wrote: >i just read pj harvey is writing w/ marianne btw...another unlikely but >super exciting pairup. A less unlikely but just as cool one: Courtney Love and Brody Armstrong (from the Distillers) have collaborated on a song for Courtney's upcoming solo album. One I'm a little more leery about: Courtney also teamed up with Liam Gallagher to record a cover of "Songbird."
