Tonight I was completely sucked in by the goofy, disturbingly cute, bespectacled goodness of Lisa Loeb. For those of you unaware, she and the lucky Dweezil Zappa now have a charming cooking show on Food Network. Cleverly titled "Dweezil & Lisa," it depicts them traveling about cooking, eating and playing. I like it muchly. I tuned into the first episode because they were visiting familiar haunts in Atlanta (Watershed, the Varsity, Gladys & Luther's). This time they were visiting Phoenix.
Lisa claims to be a vegetarian. Whatever. The opening shows her "sneaking bacon into her vegetarian diet," she orders fish at a restaurant and eats the batter off Dweezil's chicken. No matter. She's still damn cute.
I see that she's playing the Bowery next month. Whatcha think? Would the estrogen levels just be too much for me?

She's a much wittier songwriter, she hasn't written a horrible book of poetry and she doesn't beat us about the head with stories of living in a car in Alaska.
Uh, wait... I see that Glen Ballard wrote some of the tracks on her new album. Hmm. Maybe I'll go Liz Phair with glasses? Ugh.

Posted by: LadyCrumpet on February 1, 2004 12:42 PMshe's cute and uber sweet too. i had the chance to meet her after a show once. spent some time chatting and she didn't blink an eye when my friend and i asked her to autograph our CDs to Charro (me) and friend of Charro (friend). ... (long story)... still, i love her. my only complaint is that she doesn't come to the DC area much.
