Liz Phair, revisited

You can find Liz Phair's classic debut, Exile in Guyville, for less than 8 bucks. I wish there were a Deluxe Edition available. I revisited it for the first time in a couple of years this week, and it is still as raw, provocative, sexually charged, and honest as I remembered. Take Glory, a minute-and-a-half shock of a song:

He's got a really big tongue
It rolls way out
Snaking around in the club
It slicks you down
Scratching his face like a bum
He pulls you back
Circa nineteen eighty-one
He pulls you back

You are, you are, shining some glory
You are, you are, shining some glory
On me, on me
You are, you are, shining some glory
You are, you are, shining some glory on me
