According to People Magazine, the famously bespectacled singer will deliver her new baby this coming June . "I grew up with a big family, so I'm excited for Lyla to have a sibling!" the 43-year-old tells People. The past few years have seen the actress/vocalist get married in 2009, [...]
Sixteen years ago this week, Lisa Loeb was suffering a massive fame hangover. She was a year removed from her one and only hit song, "Stay" clogging the radio waves and the charts. It started as...

Ever since I began writing for The Ripple Effect I've come across a wide variety of music artists, some good and some shockingly good. However, the one negative aspect is receiving requests from friends of friends and boyfriend's sisters' cousins' uncles twice removed making requests for me to listen to their demos and CDs. Well, maybe it hasn't been that ridiculous, but it's not too far off. I mean a lot of people have come out of the woodwork asking for my help. Although I respect and encourage them asking me politely, I feel weird trying to remain [...]

Last night, we had the chance to sit down with Dallas' Own '90s pop sensation Lisa Loeb for a few minutes before she played to a packed outdoor crowd at Jack's Backyard in Oak Cliff. And, liter... Continue reading "Lisa Loeb Tells Us How She (Selfishly) Got Into The Eyewear Game." >
Dallas' Lisa Loeb is known for a few things -- talking "so" all the time, only hearing what she wants to, thinking that she can leave and later realizing that she was wrong, thinking that what s...

In these MP3-lovin' times, it's essential for musicians to tour. Unfortunately for them, tours can be difficult and expensive to put together ...
Let's state the obvious first: Rebecca Black's Friday does not represent an acme moment in the annals of popular music. I am even inclined to agree with those who suggest the song is quite awful, especially in its excess of autotuning. It sounds like the theme song for a particularly hyperactive Japanese game show. My remaining days will not be diminished by the absence of Friday on my iPod. But those people with whom I'm inclined to agree are not the target audience, many of whom dislike the song as well. Black's target audience has a crush on [...]
Regular readers know that I suffer from chronic ear problems brought on by congenitally small eustachian tubes, coupled with a permanent, high-pitched half-hissing, half-ringing noise which worsens significantly when my ears are blocked. Listening to music in this state, I once wrote, is like trying to hear the good stuff underwater, and surrounded by keening whales . What I may not have mentioned before is that several years ago I made the decision to manage these two related medical issues by having tubes installed in both of my ears - a [...]

While the LW team has gotten to do a lot of cool stuff over the years, it's perhaps our Live at Lime series that we're most proud of. Often spontaneous and always unique, these recordings give you a window into the sound of artists ranging from Lisa Loeb to Gary Jules to Tom Morello at one particular moment, whether they were stopping by in the midst of a hectic tour, about to embark on a string of shows in Europe, or bringing awareness to a cause they believe in. Authenticity [...]
Back in the beginnings of this blog we posted about I Am Not Lefthanded and their amazing 'Long Goodbyes' track. The 3 piece band with Irish roots but London lives are back on our radar with their soft melodic indie rock that melts in your mouth. 'Lifelines' taken from their current EP 'Time to Leave' [...]
Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories: Stay (I Missed You) [ Purchase ] Some music fans are lucky enough to grow up in households where music is prevalent and important, and others have to find it on their own. For me, I was a casual music listener, but mostly just heard whatever was on the radio until I had an epiphany in 1996. This epiphany came in the form of a hit single on the radio called "Stay (I Missed You)". As for the theme, the song in question lost it's [...]
Ah, Flower Communion Sunday. Traditionally the last Sunday service before a Universalist Unitarian parish moves to a lay-led summer, the Flower Communion celebrates both the contributory nature of the UU community and the natural world by bringing the blooming world into the church at its last, and then letting it go back out again as we ourselves turn to the world of social justice and peace-making. The beauty and diversity of life - of our own, and the bounty of the land - is present in the rich cornucopia of the green-stemmed bounty. [...]

As it turns out the California earthquake hit the epicenter of the show business world, leaving many to wonder if celebrities were affected by the California earthquake. Thanks to the marvels of Twitter, we got an instant, real-time reaction from celebrities who experienced the earthquake. [...]

Here are some neat-o acoustic versions of some classic punk tunes. Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. Robert Frost Toonage: Dinosaur Jr - Borstal Breakout (Sham 69) Frank Turner - Pay To Cum (Bad [...]
I recently watched this video of a post-earnest post-altbro at a dive bar, post-post-ironically singing Lisa Loeb's hit song "Stay." It sorta made me wonder if today's indie hits will ever be karaoke-able. I know that local alternative hot spots sometimes offer 'indie karaoke', but it seems like they just encourage you to sing The Cure/Blondie/Matchbox20/etc. Since most modern karaoke catalogs aren't responsive enough to learn about new buzzbands, we might never see today's indiewave bands get karaoke tracks/midi files. Even beyond the struggles of indie representation within the karaokesphere, I can't help but think about [...]
