Chicken. Hello people.... I thought it was pretty funny that Steve posted about the "Alice Springs" chicken dish at Outback Steakhouse. I've actually ordered it before (purely because I abhor fish... and well, the obvious Liz Phair similarity). It was pretty tasty, actually. But then, I was extremely hungry that day and would've eaten nearly anything (except well... fish.) On another weird/Liz-esque note. A long time ago when I used to work at Sam's Club, there was this big screen TV that basically has this one video that we kept looping that advertised a particular type of digital cable setup. The introduction featured the IDENTICAL 'jungle' sounds that are found at the beginning of 'Whip-Smart', except it was extended. I wonder this sample comes from. I can only assume Liz didn't just create it. Maybe she did. Anyway, just thought I'd share.

Ok, I got this thread from the Tom Petty digest, and I thought it was a really interesting one. If you could spend a day with Liz what would you do? If it was me I'd break out by Fender Musicmaster and my Fender Strat and just have a bog old jam session with Liz on guitar. Also, I'd love to sit and just talk with her about whatever came up. Music, guitars, growing up, whatever. I think it would be really cool to just hang out with Liz for the day. But hey, that's just me.

How shocked was I to see the posting from Elizabeth herself. Wow! Although I would have rather had her say I'm putting finishing touches on the new album as opposed to recording demos. But recording in general is a good thing. I've been messing around with the "My Mistake" lyrics and working out my own music. I'm anxious to see how it compares to the final product. I really liked reading the discussion on "Nashville," a highly underrated song (although apparently not by those on the list). I've taken some time lately to try and get back into Whipsmart. It's one of those great records I just don't listen to as much as I should. Here's my little "Nashville" story. For the longest time when I first got the album, when "Nashville" would come on I would think the song was "Shane." It was the lyric "half awake, about to shave and go to work." What I heard was "wave goodbye to Shane and go to work" (Nicole...there it is...). I wasn't really into the actual "Shane" so I never really payed much attention to it. Even when I figured out the song was "Nashville" I still held on to my Shane imaginings until one day when I finally decided to print out some lyrics. It was great reading everyone's interpretations, but I've always felt that what the song means to the listener is more important than what the artists' intentions were in writing it. Many artists feel this way, too, which is why some choose never to print up lyrics. I think Liz herself has mentioned this, only conceding to print them in Spaceegg after the Whipsmart Tab book slaughtered several songs. Music is such a personal thing and we all take something different from each song we hear. I've always considered "Nashville" an evening song. There's just something very ethereal in the guitar, a dreamy quality. I love throwing on my headphones in the dark and when I hear the chimes at the beginning I just get THE SHIVERS. Ah, but I must get back to business. How I'd love to stay and play all day, but what can you do. tedford NP: Fiona Apple "When (that's all she's getting)" ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Well i can't help you confirm that but i can help you confirm that radio in middle america is worth less than shit! I live in Kansas. You know..that place in the middle where The Wizard Of Oz supposedly took place but wasn't even actually filmed here. Yeah, that's the place. And in the town i live in we have a wide variety of shit, shit, and more shit. OLDIES((like hella old oldies)), Country, country, and more country((they're under the impression that we all fuck or cousins))and adult contemporary. You have to drive three hours before you pick up anything decent and then stay in that actual city to keep it coming in clear, and even then for the most part the radio stations that were once "good" have gone completely to shit. Besides, by the time you've drove three hours, who gives a fuck about the radio. Chances are if you're driving around in Kansas((Not only are you stoned but stupid too))you've probably atleast rigged up an eight-track so you can amuse yourself with Bobby Dylan or something of a good nature((that's the only thing i can think of that's on eight track that i would find tolerable)) and you're not going to waste your time scanning static after static. Even in vehicles with no other means of music except for the hopeless, mindless, conformist radio, i find myself leaving it off even then and listening to nothing more than the pitter patter of my own heart...((i am, i am, i am)) And maybe this has all been pointless rambling but i don't care, maybe it well help some of you bare in mind how lucky you really are to hear Liz on the radio((i did once--i was 5 hours away from home)), and you--girl with the radio show((sorry i can't remember your name))keep playing stuff that none conformists want to hear, maybe eventually somebody well follow your example.
