Weekend Song – Liz Phair

There’s not much on a summer’s day that beats the quirky swear-laden Telecaster stylings of Liz Phair. If you don’t own a copy of Exile In Guyville, it’s just been made available on Itunes. Music geeks among us might care to know that the album, her debut, was a track by track response to the Exile On Main Street by the Stones.

She’s got this quiet voice that punches it out at the same time and she rocks my world and since a part of my world is a part of yours, there’s a little concentric thing going on. This song doesn’t really go anywhere, but that’s the privilege of youth, right?

So don’t look at me sideways.
Don’t even look me straight on.
Don’t look at my hands in my pockets, baby,
I ain’t done anything wrong.

Listen: Never Said
