LIZ PHAIR
Liz Phair is my phavorite. In phact, you could call me a Liz Phair phanatic.
I know what you’re thinking: But you’re a cisgender heterosexual man. You don’t get Liz Phair. Do you want her to be your blowjob queen or something?
To which I say: I don’t get Liz Phair? I got Liz Phair the first time I put on Exile, from the very first song.
Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks
I graduated from college in May of 2000 and after crashing on couches in New York and Philadelphia for a summer, I moved to Williamsburg with my friend Nate that September. Even in 2000, the New York Times had already done a bunch of stories about how Williamsburg was hip and cool, which instantly made living there embarrassingly unoriginal and uncool. Still, we were doing our best to be interesting adults.
