Juvenilia

Whip-Smart After Exile in Guyville turned Liz Phair into an indie-rock pinup queen, rock critics and lo-fi aficionados everywhere awaited her follow-up with bated breath. Instead of making Guyville II, Phair sidestepped expectations by delivering Whip-smart, an album that replaced the shoes...	whitechocolatespaceegg Liz Phair's Exile in Guyville proved that a debutante-attractive woman rocker singing about oral sex could earn the attention of the mostly male rock press corps.

It would be easy to get that impression from the title track of Somebody's Miracle.

Liz Phair Eponymous albums are usually either debuts or the work of musicians trying to introduce themselves to a new audience. Count Liz Phair among the latter.

Maybe my favorite
This is the Liz Phair I love. Raw, sexy, funny, gritty, real. Nothing like her recent work, which is made for the masses. This album is great. I love it and it should be re-released.

I look at the cars and I know you insure them
These days you don't see much of Liz Phair, the comical and witty songwriter who mesmerized rock fans in the 90s. She released a mediocre pop album in 2005 and since then has not even showed her face in the public eye nor gave her fans an inkling as to what she has been doing. But, I will forget about present cirumstances. 1995's "Juvenilia" EP collects some of Phair's best work. And by best work I mean it includes clippings of her infamous 1991 demo tapes, Girlysound. "Jealously" is up there as far as commercially released Phair songs but nothing can get you past the beauty of "Easy". The song EASILY could pass as Phair's most impressive piece. From the guitar strumming at the beginning behind Phair's deep, monotone, nictotine stained vocals, you can't beat it. The song along with "Dead Shark" don't make me miss "old Liz", it just makes me smile to know that I own a piece of work that I truly enjoy and can place meaning to.

This guy walks into a bar...
Great cd. I got mine online. I was fortunite enough to get it for a reasonible price and it was in good condition. I like the artwork on the cover, and the songs are awesome. Batmobile is neat if you're a Batman fan, and California is not only funny, its a really good song.

A Rare Find worth Tracking Down
I remember my excitement when I found this CD at an obscure LA record shop. I was certainly not let down. "Animal Girl" is a must-have for any adolescent female experiencing the dawn of puberty and female sexuality. Phair follows up these early songs with more mature efforts such as "Exile and Guyville" and "Whitechocolatespaceegg", which build on this solid foundation.

Juvenilia
Juvenilia, the coveted Liz release, is a rare find indeed. I was lucky enough to find it at a cd store in good condition. One of the reasons this cd is sought out is for the Girly Sound songs that appear, these are songs that Liz wrote before her debut album. The songs appear remastered along with other rarities. There is Jealousy the song that appears from the Whipsmart album. It's hypnotic bass pulls you in, and you can't help but want to headbang to the song. Liz also does some piano work on this record which is a nice listen. But the star songs of the album have to be the Girly Sound songs. Each are fun listens and you may even get a giggle or two out of them. Find this album and buy it, you won't regret it.
