Blah, blah, blah. Never before have I heard such hype for a mediocre album that was far from groundbreaking.

Looks like Guyville Redux will be alot of fun. Can’t wait.

Well, do ya think Lizzy did John Cusack? Do ya?

What a meglomaniacal act of self-indulgence… aren’t you supposed to leave it to OTHER people to make a documentary about your great early records?? How does one go from being a foxy beautiful insanely sexy OUTLAW recording artist to become a knee-walking corporate shill? I guess her Avril Lavigne act isn’t paying the rent. Ah well those Tweeners are a fickle group.

She should have gone down in a flaming Cessna crash in ‘95 and saved us all a lot of pain. I wouldn’t cross the street to spit on her now.

Oh, I see we’ve got the Old Wives Club out again venting and insulting every chance they get, regardless of the subject and their knowledge or connection to it. Get a life, kids…

“…Guyville” is one of the very best alternative rock albums ever made… and as for Liz Phair today, especially scanning through her 2 latest releases… WEEEELL, to her credit, it seems that AT THE TIME of making those records, she probably made the kind of records she wanted to make, for the most part… that’s probably where her head was at at the time, and those albums are sonic reflections of that … and I think NOW she sees that she musta had an artistic lapse during that time, and she realises that it’s time to go back to her roots, and find her indie-rock-queen persona again, and leave the top40 balladry to other quasi-artists that know NOT how to do anything else. All that said, it’s still hard to forgive her for her “Why Can’t I?” sell-out single… when I first heard it, I didn’t know who it was (never would’ve dreamed it was her), and I was just like, “yuck!” Any way I look at it, that song is just horrific.
