Happy Birthday Liz Phair! (Liz Phair - Supernova)

The first song I ever heard by Liz Phair was Supernova. I heard it on a late-night station in Maryland while driving home from where I was staying. This song came on, and they gave it a bit of a run-up about how it's the latest and long-awaited CD from Liz Phair.

About 2 seconds in I cranked up the radio and never looked back from Liz Phair fandom.



I love "You walk in clouds of glitter and the sun reflects your eyes
And every time the wind blows, I can smell you in the sky
Your kisses are as wicked as an F-16
And you fuck like a volcano, and you're everything to me."

I think she likes him.

Bonus live version on Letterman!

The Vapors - Turning Japanese

I loved, loved, loved this song the first second I heard it - probably seeing this video on MTV. I haven't stopped loving it since.

No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women, no fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark.



Weird to see the video again after all of these years. I remembered it, pretty much exactly, even after a long time not seeing it.

Let's say this is for my friend K~, who a Japanese person we both know - a bona fide woman from Toh-Kay-Oh - commented had a very Japanese manner. He even said the same, "I think I'm turning Japanese."

All could say back was, "I really think so."

Not sure he caught the reference. Well, maybe he will now.

And hey, Liz Phair cover. I can't find anything wrong with the phrase "Liz Phair cover."

Liz Phair: Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo by Liz Phair. Seems on topic for today.

It's off of Whip-Smart, the album that got me started on Liz Phair.

Aimee Mann & Liz Phair: Winter Wonderland

For the eighth day of Christmas, you get a cover.

This is a really recent one: Aimee Mann accompanied by Liz Phair on "Winter Wonderland."



This reminds me that I really need to do a Liz Phair centered song list.
