Liz Phair on the 15th Anniversary of Exile in Guyville
Prince and Liz Phair on the Dating Game
So I was on the Dating Game but instead of three bachelors, I had a bachelor and a bachelorette. One was Prince and the other was Liz Phair. They answered all my questions with each other’s dirtiest lyrics. As the game progressed they went from speaking the lyrics to singing the lyrics. Even in dreams [...]
My burgeoning sexuality is 15
You can’t swing a mouse around the Internet without learning that Liz Phair’s “Exile in Guyville” is 15 this year. I love Liz Phair’s music with the kind of blind passion and dedication that is usually reserved for Paul Westerberg and my childhood musical hero, Billy Joel.
Liz Phair’s music means more to me than I [...]
liz phair saves the lives of dozens
I’m so hopped up and spitting nails angry today that I want to tear apart designers (yes, the people and really only one of them) with my bare hand. The only thing keeping me from justifiable homicide is Liz Phair’s “Happy” (the version from Sessions at 54th).
Can we talk a bit about the utter wonderfulness of Liz Phair’s second album Whip-Smart? I love this album. I can’t say that I love it more than Exile in Guyville, because there is a lot of my coming of age wrapped up in that one. But there just seems to be no love for [...]

i kissed the buddha and made him cry
today is one of those days where if it wasn’t so incredibly rude beyond words, i would not take my headphones off for any one. i would just stare up at them with big dark-circled eyes and a blank face. the combination of lack of sleep and complete work freaking outness has left me totally [...]
everyone avoids me like a cyclone ranger
it’s a liz phair sort of day here. if i start diving into the ani difranco you might want to send in the troops. i’m most needy and lonely today, on this bright fall-like day.
all the work stress of the past few weeks has thrown me off and i think i am in the [...]
