Gonna Tell Everyone to Lighten Up

Well, it's going to be 88 degrees here wednesday, so summer has arrived. and, yes, that is Liz Phair singing back-up vocals on Sheryl Crow's new single, soak up the sun. Seems silly, but true.

Those of you familiar with her peculiar harmonizing might have picked that up, (I didn't). Rumor has it that everyone's favorite reformed-indie-low-fi-pioneer makes a cameo in the video, playing basketball, of all things. Sheryl's explanation of how they hooked up, makes me wonder about this liz + basketball thing.

ok — i’ve watched that damn sheryl crow video TWICE — NO CAMEO. not even any basketball.

maybe i misread this — and you just meant she’s in Cherish and was interupting miss crow’s recording session with her basketball. hmm??

seriously. i want more liz phair. is that too much to ask?!

she’s not in the video. at one point, that web site reported that she co-wrote the song, which isn’t true at all.
