Wed, Oct. 29, 9pm EDT - 'Exile in Guyville' by Liz Phair

Pre-June 22, 1993. Who is Liz Phair? Post-June 22, 1993. Wow!

Exile in Guyville is a powerful record.  You won't find Phair holding back or shying away from any emotion or situation when absorbing the 18 tracks of her debut record.  When listening to the album at home for the first time she realized that her two worlds were colliding: that of her home life not far removed from living in her parents' house and that of a fully expressive female songwriter and musician.  

Before Exile, she felt that young women of the time didn't have any records to connect with.  Well she definitely solved that problem.  But girls weren't the only ones blown away by Exile in Guyville. Over 21 years later it remains a tantalizing record draped in authenticity and realism that is highly praised by both sexes.  And why not? From desires of masterful oral copulation to tales of abandonment, Liz Phair broke boundaries and introduced the 90's to her unrelenting style.

Join "Album Night" on Wednesday, Oct 29 for a journey to Liz Phair's Guyville.  The event starts at 9pm EDT right here and on facebook (www.facebook.com/johnbanrock).

I hope you can make it so we can also discuss the link between Exile in Guyville and The Rolling Stones' Exile on Main St.  See you then!
