have we listened to the new liz phair tracks

Is this the royal we?

Well, I have this to say about it: it'll fit in real well on rock radio.

Shit. I hate to admit it, but Greg Kot was right. It's not totally terrible (well, ok, that's arguable), but goddamnit... it's not remarkable in any way. It's over-produced mediocrity. It's totally emotionally unengaging. She'll make a bajillion dollars.

"Why Can't I?," "Extraordinary," "Rock Me," and "Favorite" were co-written by Phair with the Matrix production team, best known for its work on Avril Lavigne's smash Arista debut, "Let Go." The slickly produced cuts are a far cry from Phair's humble indie roots, captured on her acclaimed 1994 Matador debut "Exile in Guyville." Other contributors on the new set include Michael Penn, veteran session drummers Matt Chamberlain and Victor Indrizzo, and former Prince guitarist Wendy Melvoin.
During an interview at the South By Southwest music conference last month in Austin, Texas, Phair admitted some fans may balk at her decision to collaborate with a mainstream outfit such as the Matrix. But she added, "I think that people who stay indie are very 'us vs. them.' I say, 'Why paint yourself into a corner?'"

I haven't heard this album yet but apparently it is online. So whats the views on it?

I guess my "we" is the alternative to "us" or "them."

That CBGB t-shirt is way punk-rock.

revive, it's been a few days now and radio has it.

Seriously, what's the deal?

I respect her wishes to make a little cash, but, man. I don't know if this is the way to do it.
