afternoon, peoples! hey liz phair is going to perform exile in guyville in its entirety in ny @ the hiro ballroom on 6.25 - tickets go on sale on wednesday. for those in chicago and san fran dont feel left out cause she’s coming your way too. i can only hope she’s in chicago between june 30 and july 7ish cause thats when i will be back in chicago, for the first time in two years. cant believe i have been away so long. sadly and surprisingly i cant say that i have missed it.

i dont have any pavement shows from this era, well now i do, so i was pretty excited when i ran across this gem from their performance @ indie fest in pittsburgh on 6.26.92. for those in pitt, is indie fest still around?

top of the evening, y’all. firstly, the site is going to be going through some changes over the next few weeks. so, just bare with me. secondly, for those livin in the new york area, i am indeed jealous of this, this being two performances by built to spill of their classic perfect from now which is takin place @ terminal 5 on 9.25 and 26. thirdly, for those that live in georgia, learn proper fuckin high beam, or brights as i call em, etiquette. if you see a car coming in the opposite direction on a two lane road, turn them the fuck off when you see said car coming in the opposing direction. thanks…

june 24th is fast approaching and i, for one, am looking forward to the re-release of liz phair’s exile in guyville. actually, i am approaching it with restrained giddiness. mostly due to the fact that it’s remastered, which i cant see being a good thing. fucking with brad wood’s production is, in my book, a big time sin. at least a quarter of what makes exile so brilliant is the production. anyway, here is remastered version of “fuck and run.” i have yet to listen to it.

fuck and run

i have had austins’ the black angles’ directions to see a ghost on the ol’ ipod for a while now, but up until a week ago i hadn’t listened to it for one reason or another. but, in my week long stint with it, i can easily state that it bests their spaceman 3/velvet underground heavy debut, passover - which was one of my favorites of 06. check em out…

i am going to be doing a weekly thing which i am going to call “the awkwardly titled: things i dont have time to get to but you should check out anyway.” so here be the first installment of said thing.

sup peoples? hey if you are in atlanta or within the vicinity and wanna win tickets to see cracker and dead confederate on 5.2, head on over to rich at cable and tweed to enter to win a pair.

texan austin collins the rainbirds’ roses are black has been quietly making its way into daily listening routine for the past month - dont think i am just noticing this! i have been on the lookout for some new countryish/rootsy rock records for a while, since some of my typical go-to’s have been getting a bit stale as of late - see whiskeytown and son volt catalogues, and there is only so much burrito brothers stuff i can listen to. roses are black has definitely been filling that void, nicely. its a great chill out, drinkin on the back/front porch in the middle of a summer day kinda record. this is not to say roses are black is one dimensional, oh contraire my good people, collins is a hell of songwriter there’s no doubt about it. forgot to mention that roses are black was produced by will johnson of centro-matic. btw, dual hawks is phenomenal.

i am so very happy to report that bret has found his rock of lust, rock of like and rock of love! let it be known that amber was my pick to click from day one. sure, daisy has a great fake rack but after the honeymoon wears off and bret tries to kick her stripper ass to the curb she definitely seemed like the type to be slitting wrists, od’ing or something over dramatic along those lines. i’m calling a rock of love featuring daisy and/or heather from last season is in the works.

hey, jeff mangum is back, kind of, sort of. he makes an appearance, to what degree is unknown, on former circulatory system and japanacakes member, heather mcintosh’s new project, the instruments’ dark småland which is due on 5.13 on orange twin. she, btw, is also the new touring bassist for gnarls barkley, i wont hold it against her though cause i am sure its a decent paying gig. anyway, the instruments are made up of an array of e6 alum. so, if those crazy current and ex-athenites do it for ya, then the instruments will definitely be up your proverbial alley. i am definitely diggin em.

my love of liz phair has seen the highest of highs an the lowest of lows. it currently is residing somewhere in the middle of my loving place. since the announcement of the exile reissue via dave matthew’s label, ato, i have been trying to reconnect with her first three. i have kind of given hope on everything post whitechocolate.. even though i have tried repeatedly to make sense of em, but i just cant. i have mixed feelings about the reissue to be honest. it being a record i hold dear and in my top 3 records of all time, i just dont know if it needs anything else for it to be a complete experience. i think its perfect just the way it is, and has been all this time, but out the other side of my mouth i am definitely going to get it the day it comes out or maybe someone will be nice enough to send it to me. check the announcement link for everything that is going on with the reissue.

here is my dear liz on 4.15.95 live @ town hall in ny, ny.

watched moore’s sicko last evening and while it really doesnt break any new informational ground, it does succeed in exposing the health care providers as the social/economic leaches they are. of course he also sheds light on the fact of how it easy it is for the health care industry to pretty much just buy off the same people that are supposed to be looking out for our own good, our elected officials. it just saddens me that for all the good this movie can do nothing will change - i do hope one day maybe in my sons lifetime.

i always find it a little difficult getting behind a dj/producers record but chicago based dj/producer/multi-instrumentalist, copperpot, brings together a bunch of excellent artists for his sophomore disc, wyla?, that its kinda hard not to. any time krs one shows up on wax you kinda have to stand up and take notice, as he does on three tracks on wyla?. copperpot also brings members of tortoise into the fold for some interesting/mixed results.

it pains/pisses me off to even think about the current state of liz phair. i had planned a lengthy diatribe on the subject of miss phair, but the first sentence pretty much sums it up.

here she is playing during the good ol’ days of 1995 at skank hall in fabulous milwaukee on 4.21.
