Has Liz Phair Sold Out?

"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?'"

Although i thought the fact the people behind Avril Lavigne were involved it deserved a new thread.

Some things don't change in Chicago over ten years' time:

Freak out
And give in
Doesn't matter what you believe in
