Description

Today, we're tuning in to the "Tails Full Episode," of an album that became the soundtrack of the 90s for many of us. Dive into the world of Lisa Loeb, a musician whose rangy talent and thoughtful lyrics have turned her into an enduring cultural icon. From her early days playing at bars and her ascent to a chart-topping independent artist, we explore the album she made with Nine Stories, Tails.


Join us as we dissect the layered complexity of songs like "It's Over" and feel the empowered ambivalence of her empowering yet wistful lyrics. We'll wander through the contemplative "Snow Day," energize with "Taffy," and unpack the emotional depth of "Do You Sleep?" and "Hurricane." Our conversation is a journey through Loeb's artistic vision, from her thoughtful approach to album packaging to her savvy business decisions, and from the rocking grooves of "Taffy" to the sensitive strains of "Rose Colored Times."


We've got tales to tell, and tails to chase, in today's full episode dedicated to the one and only Lisa Loeb. So, make yourself comfortable, turn the volume up, and let's step into a world where music weaves the fabric of our memories here on Once Every Two Weeks.
