[Removed from Youtube. Full Girlysound linked below. Gigalo at 2:24]
I'm going to indulge myself today by featuring a song from Liz Phair, the author of my favorite album from the 90s, Exile in Guyville. Quite simply, Exile is a masterpiece of mood and lyrical intensity. It is not an album of technical musical virtuosity. You will not hear ripping guitar solos or a tight back up band. It is rather lo-fi. But that should not dissuade you from listening as it will be worth your time.
I would feature a song from Exile itself in this blog, however, the folks at Matador Records are quite vigilant about not allowing copyrighted material on Youtube. Therefore, for today's selection, I'm dipping back two years prior to the release of Exile for something from Liz's Girly Sound recordings. These were tracks that were recorded in her childhood bedroom. They are even more lo fi than Exile, but they capture the mood of what would follow.
