Liz Phair is probably my greatest musical disappointment EVER. So many good memories were associated with her early music…but she died in my eyes when she decided to team up with Matrix and pretend she was Avril Lavigne, just 3x as old.

I’m terrified to see that this ghoul is still kicking.

Just listened to this after reading and pondering that line about the "close-mindedness of the music industry over a tabla and sitar-driven track" at work today. Are there desi musicians who are pressured by the same music industry to add sitar riffs or tabla beats to their tracks? I don't know, but this latest single from Phair and Lovely made me wonder about it.</p> Ha.
