One of the good things about the 15th anniversary reissue of Exile in Guyville (and I’m liking the three bonus tracks, although other than “Ant in Alaska,” none of them really had a shot at being on the original version of the album) is that it’s an opportunity for new Liz interviews:
Bryant Park Project:15 Years Later, Liz Phair Revisits ‘Guyville’ – The BPP replayed this on the Fourth of July, which was good, since I somehow missed it the first time around. One of my favorite interviews she’s done, although her voice spookily sounds almost exactly like someone I know.
As of July 1, these are the top 20 songs played most on my iPod this year, minus the stuff played for James (which is mostly Rockabye Baby lullabies and They Might Be Giants’ “Here Come the 123s” album).
Number 13, Cass McCombs’ “That’s That,” isn’t available as an MP3 purchase via Amazon, although iTunes has it. (In fact, it’s the top Cass McCombs song there.) Number 17, “It Takes Time,” is similarly unavailable via Amazon and available via iTunes, as is number 20, “Flakes,” by the Mystery Jets.
So, here then, are the top 17 out of 20 of 2008 (so far):
The good news is that James is mobile, enthusiastically so.
The bad news is that James is still toddler-clumsy and the edge of a coffee table hurts, even if you’re less than two feet tall and trip. Still, he’s a toughie: He cried for less than 60 seconds and then was off and running again.
