I love the woman, so I am going to make this thread.
In the latest Liz news...
She no longer has a record label. When Virgin and Capitol merged, Liz was one of the artists dropped. That makes me so mad. She is still on Capitol Records.
Anyway, discuss.

So they did drop artists? My connection over there left right before the merger so I don't know what's going down over there.
I am so in love with Liz. How do you know she got dropped? I feel so bad for her.

She's not listed under the 'artists' section on capitolrecords.com and her official message board is gone.

:( I hope she gets a new label that gives her total artistic freedom so she isn't forced to make these slick, polished records.

This is so sad. I love Liz. She's a critic darling, too. I'm sure somebody will be smart enough to pick her up.

I agree. Somebody's Miracle was subpar. I love Liz but that album didn't match up to her other stuff. I want a sequel to LP myself. Call her a sell-out if you must but that album had some of her best material ever!!

Call her a sell-out if you must but that album had some of her best material ever!! Loads of really catchy songs on that. I honestly wouldnt mind another LP...or some mixture between LP and her indie stuff!

A lot of artists got dropped from Capitol. If your last album didn't hit 500k or show promise of upward commercial mobility, you basically are fucked. (See Vines thread).
You really need to buy EXILE IN GUYVILLE! It's classic, and as I am sure you are aware, nothing at all like her current material. It's a filthy, sex-obsessed lo-fi feminist agenda. And probably one of the most important albums of the past 20 years.

I Love EIG.
Now only if she would've recorded H.W.C. for that album it woulda been awesome.

And probably one of the most important albums of the past 20 years. I actually have been thinking about buying EIG, Whip-Smart, and Whitechocolatespaceegg when I get the money. I've heard a lot of her older songs (and like them), so yes, I'm aware...haha.

What else of hers should i get??? It depends on what you like. If you like straight-up indie rock, get Whip-Smart. If you like indie rock with a bit of a pop twist, get Whitechocolatespaceegg. If you like adult pop/rock, get Liz Phair. If you like adult alternative-style pop/rock, get Somebody's Miracle.

"Extraordinary" is being used in commercials for Propel flavored water, so maybe she'll reap some royalties from that and put it towards a new record. Then again, she has said she is considering taking another long break (she's done it twice...one lasted 4 years, the other 5 years)

I hope she makes a better cd than the crappy last one. .. or the one before. The self-title wasn't awful (except H.W.C. - that was a disaster), but it seems she's lost a big part of her edge.

A brand new song called "Perfect Misfit" will be on the 'Nancy Drew' movie soundtrack. You can go to nancydrewsoundtrack.com to hear a clip of it. Good to know Liz is still in the game.

Liz Phair Reissues Exile in Guyville, Signs to ATO Phair interviews John Cusack, Ira Glass, Steve Albini, Matador dudes for accompanying DVDYes, everything you've heard about Liz Phair's Exile in Guyville being one of the greatest albums of all time is true. The songs really do hit that hard. The lyrics really are that good. And the perspective of a smart woman navigating her way through the indie rock scene really is that necessary, even today. Fifteen years after its Matador Records release in 1993, Exile in Guyville is getting the reissue celebration it deserves. On June 24, ATO Records will beef up the album with four bonus tracks from the original Guyville sessions as well as an accompanying DVD. The bonus tracks: the solo cut "Ant in Alaska", a song inspired by the Troggs' "Wild Thing", the full band cut "Say You", and an untitled solo instrumental. "Ant in Alaska" and "Wild Thing" have both been previously attributed to Phair's notorious pre-Guyville "Girly Sound" demos. The DVD: Guyville Redux, a documentary about the making of the album, with a focus on the indie scene in the Wicker Park neighborhood of Chicago, out of which Phair sprung in the early 90s. In the documentary, Phair herself interviews a series of luminaries connected to the scene, including radio/TV personality Ira Glass, actor John Cusack (whose role in High Fidelity pretty much epitomized the kind of guy Phair disses on Exile in Guyville), Steve Albini, Matador's Gerard Cosloy and Chris Lombardi, Guyville producer Brad Wood, members of Urge Overkill, and John Henderson of Chicago label Feel Good All Over. And who do we have to thank for all of this Liz Phair goodness? Why, Dave Matthews, of course! Matthews is one of the co-founders of ATO Records, which in addition to putting out the reissue has signed Phair for a new studio album due in the fall. (Yes, she is no longer on Capitol Records.) AND Dave introduces the Guyville Redux DVD. So between this, My Morning Jacket, and Radiohead, is it finally time to stop hating Dave Matthews? Exile in Guyville reissue: Original tracklist: 01 6'1" 02 Help Me Mary 03 Glory 04 Dance of the Seven Veils 05 Never Said 06 Soap Star Joe 07 Explain It to Me 08 Canary 09 Mesmerizing 10 f**k and Run 11 Girls! Girls! Girls! 12 Divorce Song 13 Shatter 14 Flower 15 Johnny Sunshine 16 Gunshy 17 Stratford-on-Guy 18 Strange Loop Bonus tracks: 19 Ant in Alaska 20 Wild Thing 21 Say You 22 [Untitled instrumental] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you don't have Exile, BUY this version! It's for your own good! ;)
