current lisa quote:
from an interview with modern drummer online
"Over the years I’ve learned that instead of trying to force musicians to play things that I’m hearing in my head, I try to start off with a little bit more of the raw materials that are close to what I need. I’ve always had great musicians, and now I have musicians who I feel a little bit more confident with right from the get-go. We start playing and what they initially come up with is usually close to what I’m looking for, so I feel less bossy. [laughs] That’s good because I tend to be very specific with what I’m looking for and what I need."

what's new on the site?:*1/7/07*
i haven't updated too much recently, but i felt i needed to at least update the basics around here. you can see i updated the look of the site with a new background and color scheme. i think it's a little nicer looking :) i also added a page for lisa's new best-of album called the very best of lisa loeb. the biggest news lisa has recently released (in my opinion) is that she's re-releasing "the purple tape" on cd, which makes me super happy. my copy is wearing thin - although i did make two copies for myself so i could listen to the tape without damaging the original, what a nerd i am. otherwise, there's talk of a second season of #1 single on e! - i would love that because first season was a great chance to see more of what lisa's really like and also we got to see her a little bit during the song-writing process... awesome. that's it for now!
peace, jocelyn (aka trinity & wildplum :)

my little blurb about lisa:
well, what can i say? lisa is such an amazingly talented singer/songwriter and i am so grateful she got into the business! i have seen lisa four times in concert. the first was in 1998 in st. louis where she opened for sarah mclachlan. as you can imagine, this concert was absolutely incredible. in nov 2001 i saw her in NYC, which was awesome b/c the venue was so small and i was literally less than 10 ft away from her. she played a lot of songs from her previous albums (with me watching the guitar work carefully, taking notes of chords i hadn't figured out yet) and many from her album, cake AND pie, which came out in feb 2001. my third lisa concert was november 2002 in grand rapids, where she opened for the goo goo dolls. i got to meet her after her set; it was so cool. see pics of this exciting day here. most recently, (february 15, 2004) i saw her at the house of blues in chicago - second row center seats, met her afterwards, lots of signed stuff :)
see the guitar model that lisa plays (so beautiful!)
of course, lisa has many different guitars, this is just one
(and hers is custom made)... sigh
see a picture of me performing at principia college in '99. i did lisa's song "this" from her firecracker album. it was a real treat to perform that song... esp with my cool lisa specs :)
my thoughts about songwriting:
playing my own stuff in front of people is incredibly nerve-racking. it's that feeling of vulnerability that goes along with opening your mouth and letting all your personal emotions out in song. however, i love every minute of it. i love writing songs at home on my guitar, just playing the same chord progressions over and over until i hear a tune coming out. and then, just feeling what the song wants me to say... what to tell the world... it's creepy. music is your gift and not everyone wants it... but for those who embrace it, that somehow gives you just enough validation to keep going... and to smile.
