She really is a sweet girl. my friend called me at 9:30 to see if i wanted to bee beth orton tonight. i was exhausted from extended weekend reveling, but based on your post i went. i'm SO glad i did...prior to the show i had only heard a few songs (which i quite liked), but i am now a converted fan. after the show beth and sebastian, the bass player who also plays with soul coughing, chatted for a moment and signed my set list. you're right, she's very sweet and she wore a really cool silver chain with red glass beads on it. the opening act, kelly willis, was quite good and had a bit of a country/bluegrass twang. worth checking out. i know it doesn't live up to y'all's liz contact stories, but i'm working my way there. soundtrack to high school...hmmm....my ten year reunion is in a couple weeks (yikes!), might as well attempt a flashback. i've noticed that you kids who were in high school in the 90's are way hipper than the rest of us. i really could have used some liz phair inhigh school! i won't bother with particular songs/albums, its all a little fuzzy: ramones, violent femmes, def leppard (don't laugh, it goes with the late-80's midwestern lifestyle!), van halen (with dave AND sammy), the smiths, depeche mode, joy division, the beatles, r.e.m., 10,000 maniacs, descendants (esp. "i don't wanna grow up), sinead o'connor, pink floyd, led zeppelin, the who, the replacements, bruce springsteen, cowboy junkies, dead milkmen, misfits...all the usual suspects, i suppose. POSSIBLE FUN NEW THREAD: when i meet new people one of the first small talk quesitons i ask is what their first concert was. it has to be the first one you went to intentionally, being dragged with parents doesn't count. i'll start by admitting mine was ratt and bon jovi (ratt headlined!) on the invasion of your privacy tour in 1985. i bought a jersey and wore it proudly! eek! this post suddenly became very long - thanks for reading! valerie *********************************************************** "...well look at me i'm frightening my friends..." - -Liz Phair ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 08 Jun 1999 01:47:11 -0400 From: Valerie Barry Subject: useless musings >i reccomend that you all read "The Stinky Cheese Man and >Other Stupid Fairy Tales" i forget who it is by, but it is a chilrens >book.(obviously). great book! always good for a chuckle. >(I love >Graham--yes, I am showing my age [but only 28], but he >is so darn cute, receding hairline and all) i thought it was only me...MAJOR graham crush. what a fabulous show. looking forward to more info on the liz art photos...i've always been curios about it. does the "joe lies..." song in say anything go along with the one where she is full of angst - "it'll NEVER be me, it'll NEVER be me..."? that was always my favorite. put that on my high school soundtrack. and jaime, you are so right about liz fixing shitty days. any day, any mood, there is appropriate liz music. it is a truly beautiful thing. the only time liz didn't work for me (shhh...don't speak!) was when i threw EIG in the disc changer which was set on random at a party full of non-phans. somehow, removed from the flow of the disc, songs such as "glory" and "canary" (which i LOVE) didn;t quite contribute to the mood, nor did they convert anyone. i always tell liz virgins that EIGneeds to be heard in its entirety first. why am i posting so much today? thanks for your patience! vjb ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 8 Jun 1999 03:21:05 EDT From: Exile217@aol.com Subject: mscl it was neat to see all the mscl and angela chase references last digest. totally brought back my freshman year. i was the "new girl" and a little mysterious. everyone said i looked like "that girl from 'my so called life" i had no clue cause i'd never watched the show(thursday night ballet lessons.) probably cause i had just dyed my hair that dark red. anyways, it was quite a compliment once i saw how pretty claire danes is. and i did catch up on the show during the mtv run. still love it. liz b. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 8 Jun 1999 03:36:55 EDT From: Exile217@aol.com Subject: one big coincidence wow. just finished writing my last post and went to sit on the couch with my boyfriend. as usual, he was playing video games. started flipping through the instruction book to check out the soundtrack. was way surprised (but really, should i be? others have been talking about it all week) to see that song "liz phair" by weston on it. now i'm just waiting to hear it. the game is street sk8tr on playstation. guess that's all, just had to share, liz b. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 8 Jun 1999 06:13:06 -0700 (PDT) From: Craig King Subject: albums Well, I already did the list of songs for my life sountrack, but now I wanna do the albums that got me through high school: every album by The Doors Led Zeppelin 4 Nirvana - "Nevermind" Rush - "Chronicles" Stone Temple Pilots - "Core" Alice In Chains - "Dirt" Alice In Chains - "Jar Of Flies" Metallica - "Black Album" Well those are the main one's at least.

Not once did you have to walk the halls of your high school wearing a Twisted Sister tour shirt (it had a huge Dee Snider head on the back, and was emblazoned with the slogan "Play It Loud, Mutha!"). I still feel some pangs of regret that I did not buy it a couple of sizes bigger, because I think it would be a pisser to wear now. Nontheless I will try to capture my progression from head-banger to somewhat cooler guy -> it was hard to meet girls in a Twisted Sister t, with hockey hair (think Jaromir Jagr): Rebel Yell - Billy Idol Aces High - Iron Maiden California Uber Alles - Dead Kennedys Shout At the Devil - Motley Crue Fade to Black - Metallica Sheena Is a Punk Rocker - the Ramones Bad - U2 Ghosts - the Jam Inbetween Days - the Cure This Wheels On Fire - Siousxie and the Banshees Handsome Devil - the Smiths Love Vigilantes - New Order No New Tale to Tell - Love & Rockets Surfin On Heroin - Forgotten Rebels Degenerated - Reagan Youth Victim In Pain - Agnostic Front ouch! Siousxie is the only non-tripod on the list. My musical interests did not expand to the other gender until college apparently. It's a good thing Liz wasn't a decade older, or else I doubt I would have noticed her in my testosterone induced fog. Actually, that's a fun imagination game. Imagine if Guville was released in 1984 or so... Scary Ken ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 08 Jun 1999 08:02:13 PDT From: Katie Brown Subject: swamped hey everybody... I haven't checked my email since last tuesday, so if you have sent me a message i probably haven't read it yet! sorry! i also haven't read the digests and don't know when i will... kinda defeats the purpose of having a shitty hotmail account anyway, if i dont' even check it on vacation. i have a few things: ixnay on the aintingpay... orrysay --- I guess the girls living in that house in Oberlin liked Liz's painting enough to take it with them--- who wouldn't? but it wasn't there. bummer i have been bombarded with emails about Liz's house -- so rather than responding individually, i'll post. here goes: it's on a small street off of a big street... when i say small i mean SMALL, like my little bro's caddy barely fits down the street, it is one way, parking on both sides. the houses are big, probably four stories each and they are all stuck together, like, there's no space between them. so the walls of Liz's house are also the walls of two other people's houses. Tim, my brother, suggested "let's go smoke a joint on Liz Phair's porch!" we had just picked up a nice kind sack... but the porch light was on, as were most other lights in the house. when i saw Liz in October she said that she still lived there, "overlooking the water". this doesn't make sense to me -- unless maybe she has a roof deck. but she *is* pretty close to the lake. i know other houses on that block (Colleen O'Brien from my high school lives on the same block) have those typical Chicago "yards" more like a square block of grass that i would have called a garden... and the main question was, how do i know she lives there? my cousin (from that jim ellison circle that i am constantly mentioning) told me when she moved there. then, lucky bitch col o'brien was bragging about it and then her older sister got to babysit Nick. and my friend james (who is here in boston) has a brother and sister-in-law also on that block who have become frends of the phair phamily and also trade babysitting duties. james and i was cracking up, becuase they (his older bro and wife) were at the lounge ax show and witnessed my flower experience. the world is fucking small! much like the street Liz' lives on... and then there's my brother car, which is bigger than my fuckin apartment. when i last read the digests, there was a question about 8-tracks, which is so funny becuase i spent the last week listening to various 8-tracks. they're awesome for so many reasons, they're obsolete and cost 25 cents each, so i always bring my little bro a shopping bag full. he just graduated from high shcool so he got a tone of 8-tracks as gifts. What i really like about them is that you can skip to the next song, like on a cd! but it is one continuous tape spining through. it doesn't stop like audio cassettes. the 8-track sticks out of the player, so when it starts to break, which they all do, you can give it a little jiggle and bam! yeah, jefferson airplane. blah-dee blah blah. later KB (katiebrown) _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

I am not by any means a list regular, but this "life soundtrack" is just too much fun to bypass. I'm with you, whoever said that you're a compulsive list maker-I love this stuff. My soundtrack will have to be released in a double disc...there's too much stuff, and I can't take any of it out! This list extends all the way from the first strains of my consciousness to the present moment....matter of fact, there's a huge blank hole for most of my younger years. Blue Suede...is the first song I remember hearing (somewhere around 1978 [ when I was 3-ish]). There's so much more to include. Well, here goes...and I know I'm forgetting stuff... Blue Suede Shoes-Elvis Presley Cuándo, Cuándo, Cuándo-Englebert Humpnerdinck Hardknock Life-sung by the orphans in Annie Electric Avenue-Eddie Grant Ruby-Kenny Rogers Walking On Sunshine-Katrina & the Waves La Isla Bonita-Madonna Brand New Lover-Dead Or Alive My Boyfriend's Back-the Chiffons On My Own-sung by Eponine in Les Miserables Boys Don't Cry-the Cure Beach Song-the Dead Milkmen Hey, Jack Kerouac-10,000 Maniacs The Boy with the Thorn in His Side-the Smiths Ribbons-the Sisters of Mercy Disko Fleshpot-My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult To Be Real-Cheryl Lynn Like A Rolling Stone-Bob Dylan The Inner Light-the Beatles Bouncing Around the Room-Phish The Sun Comes Up, It's Tuesday Morning-Cowboy Junkies Suzanne-Leonard Cohen Never Said-Liz Phair The Israelites-Desmond Dekker Right Place, Wrong Time-Dr. John California (All the Way)-Luna Side One Suite-Leo Kottke The World Has Turned (and Left me Here)-Weezer Holiday Ride-Lydia's Trumpet Clear Spot-the Pernice Brothers say yes-elliot smith Two Fine Lovers-Sean Lennon Wow, Liz is more near the end of the list than I thought she would be. I guess it makes sense, considering I went through a new music drought for about 3-4 years (between 95-98, I guess.) There's so much more, but I have got writing to do okay...I'm done boring everyone.

Unfortunately, I don't remember which song. She was upset that her fan base called her a sell-out for marrying into a heterosexual relationship, even though she refers to the relationship as "non-traditional". Personally, I think she got entangled in her own web but it does suck that we have to label everyone by sexuality. As a form of protest, I propose that we all refer to ourselves as either heterosexual by default, homosexual by default, or pan-sexual. And now for some liz content...6'1" was my anthem for my senior year of high school, although every song on "Exile" was great. I wouldn't call it inspirational but her music definitely had a positive effect on me. I remember thinking that her voice was such a refreshing change from all those female vocalists whose voices are described as "ethereal". But, I wouldn't call that my adolescence. That's like 13-14, right? At that time I was obsessed with Living Color, Depeche Mode, and Kate Bush because her lyrics kicked ass.

Sandra - I know how you feel! someone said that Nevermind was really big for them before they hit MIDDLE SCHOOL!!!!! was that a typo or were you serious? see, here in NJ we started middle school in 4th grade so i was 9 going on 10, if nevermind and black came out when you were 9, you must still be in high school now! wow! i bet you had a really cool big brother or sister!! That's how my kid sisters got into cool music at an early age, and in fact if it hadn't been for a friend's older brother, i might be listening to jewel today (oh, i had to throw that in there!) instead of Liz! So like Raymond and lots of others said, being that we are OLD, we have a hard time remembering what we listened to back in the days of 8 tracks and Victrolas, so we'll get mad at ourselves the next day when we get flashbacks of our youth and the memoires come flooding back at us....(what a run-on, huh?) so I remembered that Nevermind and Matthew sweet's Girlfriend were two big albums for me in high school, and kind of PJ Harvey Dry. Danmac(Dan) I liked your list, but did you just graduate recently? I mean I wish there was that kind of music(sleater-kinney/jen trynin) back in the olden days! I just have to say that i actually saw "You've Got Mail" in the movies cos i love meg ryan and it looked kinda good, even though it was such an obvious ploy at a sleepless in seattle spin-off/rip-off. IT was Horrible!!! and sooooo predictable! that was good advice whoever said not to bother watching it unless there's nothing else on, then maybe.. but i saw Dead man on Campus recently and that was pretty good, so i would suggest that. Did anyone see the movie "First Love, Last Rites"? y;know the one w/liz's "erecting a movie star". How was it? did someone mention it recently? am i too oblivious or what? sorry!!!! ok, two days till the big overpriced benefit, i mean it's cool though that liz is doing the benefit. It just sucks that it is sooo expensive, I think the real target audience is the ultra - rich in NYC, y'know like all the kids of fashion designers and such. The average liz phan probably can't afford to go, which sucks, but kudos to liz for caring! I have been lazy and not responded to the nyc lizphest, cos i don't know what i will be doing sat, but is it still a go? If i have a car, i'd like to meet some other liz phans! also i got an e-mail from another dp!!!!! that is sooo cool!! there are at least 3 dp's on the list! I am so psyched about that. coolness goes w/the pairing of the d and the p!

I have to share this w/you cos this is Liz related and just way too fucking weird!!!! where the hell do i start? I think someone is trying to fuck with me!!! I am not on drugs right now, I swear (on all my liz albums)! Ok- here;s the story- as i ahve mentioned before I run/DJ at my college radio station- it's an indie-rock format now, but last year (before i was there and made it better) it was top-40!!! well, when it switched back to what it should have always been, there was a lot of complaints and letters written to newspapers including our school parper which is a really, really crap excuse of a paper.(they have fucked us over many times) anyhow, one day to my surprise there was a letter to the editor in the school paper- it was titled Student praises WPSC I thought it was the paper playing a cruel joke on us (they never printed anything accurate or nice about us only bad things). well the letter sounded like it was written by me- it said how awesome the station was and how psyched this person was to hear her FAVORITE artist, LIZ PHAIR, on the station!!! (as well as others such as Juliana,. Heather Nova, etc.. so obviously this person has heard me- i never do a show w/o playing Liz) She went on to say so many nice things, I just couldn't get over the favorite artist part! and it was signed "Dorothy Hyphen Parent" I thought that was a made-up name(i'm sorry) and i always wanted to inquire w/ the paper about it, but never did, I really thought it was someone i had pissed off who had connections to the paper fucking w/me. I was so elated by that letter though, it MEANT soooooooooooo much to me and then...... it all came together about ten minutes ago and i have the shivers..it's FREAKY, it is a small world. I got an e-mail from a liz fan today who said they are in Nj for 2 wks and had the same initials as me and signed it - Hyphen this is really freaky-is someone fucking with me? it's got to be the same person right?! It has to be! Full circle! well maybe dorothy heard me on the air yesterday- iended my show w/3 liz songs-"erecting a movie star?", "6'1"(but 6'1 skipped so i went into "Strange loop" after that!) and I ended w/"Big Tall Man" today. God, I feel like a mental patient. sorry for babbling, but this IS Liz related and I thought the list would appreciate this story. Dorothy, if it is you and i have embarassed you in anyway, or revelaed your identity and you did not want that, I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE. alright that's it for now, I think I need a beer and a cigarette...so much for quitting. It's been a weird year, I';ll leave it at that.

It's still the three rare prizes: Firewalker, Don't Apologize, and Conversation Overheard Between Two Bouncers. The difference is that the first two songs are now taken from the Wellesley recording, which is somewhat cleaner than the Grand Rapids recording (though I'm not the only one who really likes the way the hall sounds on the Grand Rapids show!). It makes it a little easier to decipher the lyrics. Special thanks to Ginz for trading me the Wellesley show. I also wanted to take a second to thank everyone who's been coming by my site; I'm getting a steady 20-25 hits every day, and should break 1000 unique hits any time now. And I can't BELIEVE how few of you feel up to the challenge of the LIZ PHAIR (minimalist) POETRY CONTEST!!!! C'mon, don't be shy! Send in a little ditty. I can publish it without your name, if you're secretly timid.

Anyway, I am definitely going on Thursday and would loveloveLOVE (feel the enthusiasm....oh yeah!) to meet anybody else who's going. I really don't know the place well, so I'm not gonna arrange a place to meet, but um.......any suggestions? How did other ppl meet at other times? Anyway, if we don't come up w/ anything, here's a quickie description of me........if you see anyone there who fits this description, come up and talk to me, unless it's someone else, in which case I'll just be pissed that someone else is wearing my clothes and stuff. So, um, I'm almost 5'2", but I'll be wearing shoes (so I guess a bit taller), a long black skirt, and my "elegantly skanky" (as my best friend likes to put it) two-piece top thingy....it's like this little black tank top thing w/ this sheer-ish dark red shirt over. Get it? Is that even appropriate for this thing? Not like it matters since I'm spending enough $$$ on this thing......plus, I'm young, so I can get away w/ it....I'm not gonna show up in a business suit and be like, "yeah......tough day at the office........" SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.................I'm extremely psyched to meet you guys......e-mail me if you're going so I can look for you....unless of course you really don't wanna meet me, in which case I'll totally understand. Oh yeah....I'll be w/ this girl Sara who's on this list......I think she's wearing this white tank top and skirt thingy w/ a few Buddhas in black print on it or something............I don't really remember what it looks like, and I'll also be w/ this 30-something guy who looks 18......my "uncle through marriage" .....I have no clue what he'll be wearing............... Oh, and my hair is brown. Yeah. I have no clue what I'm gonna do w/ it that night. But tonight, I'll be going to bed. Now. I'm really not this hyper-charged psycho "in real life"........but whatever........ P.S. (Pre-script) I just re-read this letter........and yes, it scared me, but also to clarify: the winkwink part of the 30-something guy means he's not really my uncle......like, I know that's apparent, but we're just saying he's my uncle.....oy!.......the way I wrote it just made it look like he's a pedophile or something.........like we're together........does anybody have any clue what I'm talking about, or do I need to go to bed?) - --Alli[son] <---------- take yr pick.............Alli or Allison........not Alli or son............I need to learn how to write............. ------------------------------ End of support-system-digest V2 #167 ************************************
