EIG on headphones, set on 'random' while riding public transportation is a most wonderful way to enter and leave the workday, i highly recommend it. i think i was singing 'strange loop' aloud on the train this morning, though...i got a few funny looks. **how strange...my new digest just came in, and its early.** *********************************************************** "...well look at me i'm frightening my friends..." - -Liz Phair ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 5 Jan 2000 23:24:42 EST From: Eekman2@aol.com Subject: Bachelor No.2 Don't know if anyone is interested, or if this has already been widely circulated, but Aimee sold a limited edition preview disc at her Tuesday night shows with hubby Michael Penn out here in L.A. It's a seven song disc and is quite terrific. If anyone is interested in getting a copy let me know. I'd love to swap for some Liz stuff, especially the orig. demos. The shows, by the way, are great. She did them every Tues. for a few months and now I think they're doing them again this month. Cary. P.S. This is my first post, so I hope I haven't broken any protocol.

Weber" Subject: Juvelilia or Juvenalia?? Greetings all: Out from lurking to pose one question. Which was the first pressing of Juvenilia or nalia? I got the Juvenalia cd, and was just wondering if it might be rare, etc. I know that there is no difference in the tracks. Is it a first pressing/misprint? Just curious.

I too had very high expectations for "The Talented Mr. Ripley." Although all of them were not met, I still found the film to be quite good. I think that Matt Damon did a great job with his role! If you read anything about him, or about his choice for this movie, you will find that he was hesitant about accepting the role BECAUSE of the gay character. He felt unsure about how it would come over, not only with the audience, but on film. He wanted it to look genuine. I, as well as many others, feel that he did a good, sincere job! As for the Paul Rudd comment, let's just say that I think he is one of the worst choices for any role. I don't think he could have pulled off this role even if his life depended on it! I am sick of him playing the same character over and over again. His acting does not have any depth, as Matt Damon's clearly does But, as I stated above, this is my opinion! I do not mean to offend anyone; just thought I'd share! My Liz content is thanks to all who replied about the WCSE sessions! I will have them soon!! YEAH!!!!! :) ~Julie ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 6 Jan 2000 00:44:36 EST From: Jessica1129@aol.com Subject: Bitch Bitch Bitch Hi everyone, I just got off the phone with my Evil/Psychotic ex-boyfriend. I got to waste an entire hour of my life on the phone telling him how wonderful my life is right now (it's not) and how much I Love the new guy I'm seeing (nope, totally alone) just so he can see how much better off I am without him. Usually, blasting Liz Phair for an hour is the only thing that makes me feel better after such an emotionally draining episode, but even that isn't working tonight, so I've been reduced to whining to all you innocent bystanders. So sorry...it just helps to mope to an audience sometimes, ya know? Thank you, love Jessica ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 6 Jan 2000 01:02:29 EST From: Nach1120@aol.com Subject: Re: support-system-digest V2 #388 ok maybe im just a dork, but i have no idea what _Juvenilia_ is. i mean i know its one of Liz's CD's but was it the first? or where does it fit in? what songs are on it? is it very rare? im sure like 4792 people will explain it, so thank you in advance.
