Oh Balk, do you do this to hurt me?

No, Liz did it just to hurt you. Particularly the self-titled one.

you have the nerve to say all her other albums totally suck when blender is like the same magazine which raves about katy perry and lily allen and that love song girl? whip-smart is amazing. it has the intense "jealousy", the eerie "alice springs", the droning "shane" and the buzz pop candy that is "supernova". it also has "dogs of l.a." and a lot of other songs which rival the best of today's indie pop. it certainly has more personality that cat power's jukebox and feist' reminder. what world are you living in? and whitechocolatespaceegg is jampacked with ideas, genres and great lyrical twists. exile in guyville is one part of a trio of superior records this great singer songwriter released. the only misstep was when she started collaborating with people lesser than her. man, listen to the pop songs today and then listen to liz's work. wcse does not sound dated at all. w-s is still pretty good. eig is amazing. come back to me when you get a new pair of ears. ugh!

really?? whip smart sucked???? balk, take it back! xox

Holy shit, I had no idea I was working for Blender! I'm never going to be free of Tyler, am I?

Blasphemy!
Whitechocolatespaceegg rules.
Matador didn't push it at all and poor Liz got frustrated and then hired the Matrix, let a girl try to pay her bills, damn.

oh wait, this is radar. sorry, so similar to the blender. i was temporarily confused by your insane claims.
hating on w-s and wcse when he probably hasn't listened to these records for years.
wrong, period. forever.

go listen to feist or something. yeesh.

i'm a huge fan of phair, though not a so much of her reverse evolution. it's an old story, a tired invective, and interviews like this one (time out) tell more about the interviewer than it does shed light on guyville - how it was made, who liz was at the time, and what it all meant. she's answered all the 'career suicide' questions before, and I for one would rather read something original than more of the same old. it seems lazy to just keep reiterating the already relentlessly-covered tale of hipster betrayal.

Hey, what the hell did I do? Fyi: AWESOME photo of Katy Perry and "Useful Tips" from the adorable chanteuse in the upcoming Sept. issue of Blender!!!!!
