她說新專輯一定會在 5/23/2003 之前問市， 因為再ㄠ下去她就沒錢了， 新專輯的製作人有包括 Michael Penn, Gary Clark 和 The Matrix， The Matrix 是一個三人的製作小組，成員有包括 Scott Spock, Lauren Christy 和 Graham Edwards， 最近讓他們聲名大噪的作品是 Avril Lavign 的 Complicated 和 Sk8ter Boi， 因為 The Matrix 大部分的合作對象都是偶像們， 像是 Ricky Martin, Christina Aguilera, Backstreet Boys 等， 所以 Liz Phair 的歌迷們非常擔心作出來的成品。 The Matrix: http://www.apogeedigital.com/users/users_matrix.html 網路上有一首 Liz Phair 跟 Michael Penn 作的新歌，叫做 Take A Look`, 據說不會收錄在專輯裡，link: http://suprnova.lunamorena.net/takealook.mp3 另外就是 Liz Phair 的親筆信報告有關新專輯的事情： 01-10-03: OKAY, SO LIZ PHAIR EMAILS ME... My very first email directly from Liz Phair. With her permission, it is reprinted here for your enjoyment: Oh, I'm just having the best time checking this site out. I love what you've done with it. There seems to be a small furor going on about release dates and evil production couplings, and all I can say is, really, no REALLY, don't worry. The Matrix songs are great, mainstreamy, but really exceptional as such. I needed to get on the radio, and they and I have had an unusually fruitful four song pairing. It's obviously different than my own quirky stuff, but we've amazed the label with a four for four hit-type factor, and no one who's heard it ( myself included) can stop playing it because it rocks and is fun and slick and smart. So that's that. Inside the game of the music business, I've turned my fate around with these tracks and am poised for a nice ride. Which is important to me. A huge part of my motivation in any creative endeavor is ignoring, if not down-right spitting in the face of, the words "No, you can't." I'm just rebelious. I hate that they say you can't get on the radio. I hate that those suited executives look at me (Or looked, thanks to some fabulously generous and outstanding work by Michael Penn, Gary Clark, and The Matrix) and think, "Art Piece. Hang it on the wall. Can't do anything else with it." You might understand that Music Industry is just another Guyville and I want to take it down. Or sit on top of it. It's just my nature. And it wouldn't be satisfying if I didn't love the music I make. I absolutely love some of those Matrix songs. I finally made music, like 'Extraordinary' and 'Rock Me', that I want to blast out of the windows of my car, waiting to park at Universal Studios for KCRW Christmas show. The Matrix stuff is the kind of stuff you take to rural America and play at top volume for your cousins because they get it, and they like it, but when they hear the words, it shocks them. I live for that reaction. As for my own art, there are many, many songs recorded over these last four years that we're deciding what to do with. Many are just me and my guitar, maybe not as good as at twenty-five, when all I had to do in the world was sit around, get stoned and play guitar, but alot are pretty special. I even thought of starting a subscription service to do like a song-a-month club on-line, because, why wait? I write songs all the time, and in their nascent form, are quite possibly more brilliant, especially to all my brainiac fans out there who don't need their art pre-digested. Release date for the proffesional album is very firmly May 22, 2003, because any longer than that and I run out of money. Expect to see me playing shows very soon, as per that money thing. No title as of yet, but I'm hovering around a 'night' image. I don't know what else to tell you, but if you can stand to move a few feet closer to the center, I promise the album rocks. And if you can't, then have a laugh and wait for the demo material to trickle out. It's only music. You don't have cancer. I write it for me. It fulfills my need to speak, to be understood. And if I change, and you don't like it, I can't help you. Because only when I'm traveling in my life, when I feel like I'm transforming, or having some adventure, will music come flooding out of me. Friction, baby! P.S. I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't give out my email xxxxoooo Liz Well, there you have it. Album, tour, praise for this site... what more can you ask for? An interview? I'll see what I can do... :-) [Thanks again to Liz Phair for the kind words and permission to reprint this email.] source: http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Club/2471/updates.html http://suprnova.lunamorena.net/experience.html --
