Liz Phair To Reissue Critically Acclaimed Album
"Exile in Guyville," which had been out of print, will be made available in a digital format for the first time. The reissue also will be released on vinyl as well as on CD. The album will feature four never-released songs from the original recording sessions.
Phair also filmed a 60-minute documentary, "Guyville Redux," which be released on DVD as part of the reissue package. The DVD features an introduction by Dave Matthews, founder/co-owner of ATO Records, which is releasing the "Guyville" reissue package.

I'm also excited about the way the re-release turned out. Alan Light did the liner notes, and I've been meeting with artists about the packaging for the 2.0 version. There are three bonus tracks, but there is a good minute separating them from the rest of the record. It was cool to go through my closet and find the songs -- some are from [demo] "Girly Sound" but they are very much of the "Guyville" era.
Liz Phair rocks a book review
Flash back to 1994 and tell me that the Exile in Guyville girl would be writing a review of the book by that guy from Galaxie 500 for no less than the Gray Lady of the NY Times, and I would have tried to take away your crack. And yet, the review is good — I mean a good read. And it seems that the book is, too.

I wonder if Liz was not hinting at something more with this line - The weight of the accumulated past begins to take its toll. (I eagerly anticipate the day when Liz decides to write her own memoir)
And she turned 41 on April 17th.
