It’s very rare that I’m up late enough to catch any of the late-night talk shows. And if I am up that late, we’re usually watching a movie. But last night, needing an excuse to knit, we stayed up late and just channel-surfed. After skipping around and watching a few of the shows (Diane Keaton, a guest on David Letterman’s show, was really strange last night), the intro for the Conan O’Brien show came on. The names of his guests began flashing on the screen, ending with….Lisa Loeb!

I guess had read somewhere that she would be on his show, but I disregarded at the time because, like I said, I rarely watching late-night talk shows. So, yes, I was psyched!

Lisa’s first album, The Purple Tape (and yes, the cover of the tape is purple!), made eons ago has never been made into a CD…until now. It will be released this month! It is a 2-disc album with extra features, like early recordings and interviews.

She ended the show (and the show ran out of time before she could be interviewed–darn) with “Snow Day,” actually a song from her Tails album. But what was REALLY cool was that earlier that night when I showered–even before I knew I’d be watching Conan–I was singing “Snow Day” in the shower!!! How weird and random!!

Very cool. The end.
