Liz Phair’s next album, Somebody’s Miracle, is scheduled for release Oct. 4th.

I must say, after hearing Exile in Guyville, I had not been more excited by a new act since Arrested Development’s 3 Years, 5 Months & 2 Days in the Life Of…. But since then, while Arrested Development has blazed new trails (I have yet to hear Among the Trees, but understand it’s great), Liz has failed to impress. But, with the “unplugged” format, and Shanks and Alagia on her team, I have high hopes.
