Liz Phair was one of the coolest dudettes around back in the day. I loved her album Exile in Guyville – good lyrics, good music. Saw her live and that too was great. Then came Whip-Smart, which featured “Supernova”, and after that I kind of lost interest. A couple of years ago she released a self-titled album which I didn’t like at all – she sounded way too smooth for my liking and the promotional photos portrayed her like some kind of over-aged Britney-like schoolgirl, which I found a bit embarrassing. I haven’t heard Somebody’s Miracle.
Exile in Guyville has just been re-issued – if you don’t own it yet, go get it it’s worth it.
