i think this song is fantastic.

Is "Tails" By Lisa Loeb and the Nine Stories The Most Influential Album of the 90s?

Didn't she get "most promising newcomer" one year based on that one single, which had only the instrumental version as it's b-side?

For a long time, she was the first one-song wonder, never mind one-hit wonder. Then she had to go and ruin it by putting out an album.

It's a classic, though I think a little credit has to go to the Nana Mouskouri glasses.

absolutely classic!
also, i think that way back she used to collaborate with elizabeth mitchell, so right there might be some indie-cred for you indie fuxx.

Not that long -- "Do You Sleep?" was a chart hit about a year later.

for the longest time, "stay" was the only thing she had released. her debut album came out more a year after reality bites. pop up video said she was the first artist to ever have a number one before getting a record deal.

True story, that one...

She won the Brit Award for Most Promising Newcomer in whatever year it was ('91?). Tom Jones announced the winner as "Lisa Lobby."

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Thursday, 21 September 2006 07:48 (nineteen years ago)

Not "Mr Blobby" then?

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 21 September 2006 08:10 (nineteen years ago)

I suppose we were lucky it didn't come out as "Lisa Jobbie."

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Thursday, 21 September 2006 08:24 (nineteen years ago)

That was the MTV European Music Awards of '94 or so (which Jones was presenting) iric, not the Brits. I'm not really proud of knowing this tho.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Thursday, 21 September 2006 09:01 (nineteen years ago)

'94, was it as late as that? Blimey. The year of Jeff Buckley, DJ Shadow and Wu-Tang and they went for Lisa Lobby.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Thursday, 21 September 2006 11:12 (nineteen years ago)

frankly, from that list i'd still take her now

DON'T TRY IT

When Palin gave her convention speech in 2008, the first two people I thought of were Andrea Martin's Edith Prickley and Lisa Loeb.

i'm only hearing negatives no no no no

― adrian "stanky" legg (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 17 July 2013 22:26 (twelve years ago)

xxp not just vocals, wasn't Ida actually the backing band on the album?

― it itches like a porky pine sitting on your dick (Phil D.), Wednesday, 17 July 2013 22:50 (twelve years ago)

No. Here is the story Dan Littleton told to me, which I hope I am remembering correctly: Lisa and Liz Mitchell of Ida were both college friends of Ethan Hawke, who called Liz one day with a "hey, I can get you on a soundtrack to a movie I'm doing if you can get to the studio this weekend." But oh no, the regular 9 Stories guitarist is not in town for some reason -- so Lisa calls Liz and invites her to sing and Dan to play on that track. Lisa's boyfriend is the other electric guitarist on the song, and Dan would want me to tell you that the dumb sounding chord voicings played after "I think that I'm throwing but I'm thrown" is Lisa's boyfriend. The rest of the album is 9 Stories.

― Three Word Username, Wednesday, 17 July 2013 23:14 (twelve years ago)

Yeah, and I already know I got one detail wrong, which is that Ethan Hawke met Lisa after college in New York. I'll stand by the rest of it.

― Three Word Username, Wednesday, 17 July 2013 23:17 (twelve years ago)

eleven years pass...

I would be happy to sit down for coffee and Timbits with her (coffee, anyway--have to watch my sugar intake).
