4-0 out of 5 stars Along for the ride
First off, there's not much Liz Phair in here. If that's what you're after, then go and get the rerelease of Exile in Guyville. Otherwise, it's a pretty good read, think airplane or beach novel, not far removed from the craziness of rock and roll. Or at least literary rock and roll.

1-0 out of 5 stars This Book Is Seriously Deranged...And I Don't Mean That In A Good Way
You know, I'm not gay or anything but I'm freaking in love with Liz Phair. Yep, admittedly. There you go, Hugh. It's true. And so when I saw her name attached to a novel, I thought, "Wow, cool, I think I'll read that." Listen, y'all, this dude, Camden Joy, is seriously tripping out here. This book has virtually nothing to do with Liz Phair and is more of his ranting brain-flushing sessions as he drives a hot car across Chicago in search of the greatest indy-rocker of the '90's. This was probably intended to be some sort of Burroughs/Kerouac experience for its time but it's more like a scary description of a non-artistic mental collapse. Good thing it's fiction. And, um, I was mostly kidding about the "in love with Liz Phair" part.

Mostly.

5-0 out of 5 stars I want read and watch cartoons...
Camden Joy offers us a book that will make you laugh, or think he's insane!A well writen romp through a dysfunctional relationship, and a mysterious missing kid sister. This book will give you something to think about like "Why would Sting brag about his billard skills in a song?" This book is actually isn't "about" Liz Phair,although she may or not be in there somewhere...
I often wonder..
The pictures (art work) are too hilarious to miss, reminds me a little of Vonnegut's pictures in breakfast of champions
I highly reccomend this book...

4-0 out of 5 stars Author needs to get the wax out of his ears
As a Liz Phair fan, I was disappointed to see that Joy misquoted her lyrics so often, and I don't agree with his interpretation of her Exile in Guyville album. But the book is really fasciniating and I would highly recommend it to any fan, even though it doesn't have much to do with her.

4-0 out of 5 stars One of the best "Rock Novels"
As a genre the "rock novel" is not only still in utero but perhaps to be stillborn since the music itself seems to be on the verge of "hitting the wall," as the saying goes.Yet Camden Joy is one of the finest exponents of this particular genre.Anyone familiar with his broadsheet screeds--the classic brief essays on Souled American come to mind--knows that he knows the music and that he knows how to write.I would say Liz Phair is number two on the Rock Novel list: intense, comprehensive, witty, innovative.And the first on the list?DeLillo's Great Jones Street, naturally.Also Sorrentino's great Sound on Sound, though that book shows nowhere near the level of accomplishment (though Joy shares with Sorrentino the conceit of a narrator working on a quickie bio of a rock star).Highly recommended. ...

Excerpt: Girly Sound (aka Girlysound) is the moniker under which singer-songwriter Liz Phair recorded several self-produced cassettes in 1991. Recorded on a 4-track tape recorder in her childhood bedroom at her parents' house and initially given only to two people by Phair, Chris Brokaw and Tae Won Yu, these tapes became somewhat of a sensation in the American tape trading/zine subculture. In 1992, Phair signed a deal with Matador Records on the strength of a tape she had sent in consisting of 6 Girly Sound tracks. Phair's debut album Exile in Guyville is largely a reworking of songs from these tapes. None of the Girly Sound tapes has ever been given an official release (5 tracks were released in 1995 on the Juvenilia EP), though Phair has frequently gone back and reworked many of the songs for her studio albums throughout her career. As a result, Phair's Girly Sound tapes are still one of the most sought-after alternative-rock bootlegs. Although originally consisting of a total of 3 cassettes, the most common version of the Girly Sound tapes that circulated among Phair's fans was an incomplete 2 disc compilation of songs from all 3 tapes released on the "Bliss and Fetish" bootleg label, processed with excessive digital noise reduction that many fans felt rendered the songs difficult to listen to. An earlier bootleg compilation of Girly Sound material, "Secretly Timid", was also released. Early in 2006, mp3s of first generation copies of the first 2 tapes were introduced via Phair's online community, bringing to light the original track listing, correc...http://booksllc.net/?id=2267672 ...

Morissette began her career in Canada, and as a teenager recorded two dance-pop albums, Alanis and Now Is the Time, under MCA Records. Her worldwide debut album was the rock-influenced Jagged Little Pill, which remains the best-selling debut album by a female artist in the U.S., and the highest selling debut album worldwide, selling 30 million units globally. Her following album, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, was released in 1998 and was a success as well. Morissette took up producing duties for her subsequent albums, which include Under Rug Swept, So-Called Chaos and Flavors of Entanglement. Morissette has sold more than 40 million albums worldwide. In February 2005, Morissette became a naturalized citizen of the United States while maintaining her Canadian citizenship. Morissette was born in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, the daughter of Georgia Mary Ann (née Feuerstein), a Jewish-Hungarian teacher, and Alan Richard Morissette, a French-Canadian high school principal. Morissette's parents were devout Catholics. She has a twin brother, Wade, and an older brother, Chad. At six, she began playing the piano. In 1984, Morissette wrote her first song, "Fate Stay with Me", which she sent to a local folk singer, Lindsay Morgan, who recruited Morissette as her protégé. Morissette released "Fate Stay with Me" as a single via a label she founded with Morgan...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=60328 ... Read more

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Radiohead are an English alternative rock band from Abingdon, Oxfordshire, formed in 1985. The band consists of Thom Yorke (lead vocals, rhythm guitar, piano, beats), Jonny Greenwood (lead guitar, keyboard, other instruments), Ed O'Brien (guitar, backing vocals), Colin Greenwood (bass guitar, synthesizers) and Phil Selway (drums, percussion). Radiohead released their first single, "Creep", in 1992. The song was initially unsuccessful, but it became a worldwide hit several months after the release of their debut album, Pablo Honey (1993). Radiohead's popularity rose in the United Kingdom with the release of their second album, The Bends (1995). Radiohead's third album, OK Computer (1997), propelled them to greater international fame. Featuring an expansive sound and themes of modern alienation, OK Computer has often been acclaimed as a landmark record of the 1990s. Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001) marked an evolution in Radiohead's musical style, as the group incorporated experimental electronic music, Krautrock, post-punk and jazz influences. Hail to the Thief (2003), a mix of guitar-driven rock, electronics and lyrics inspired by war, was the band's final album for their major record label, EMI. The band's first six albums, released via EMI, had sold more than twenty-five million copies by 2007. Radiohead independently released their seventh album, In Rainbows (2007), originally as a digital download for which customers could set their own price, and later in physical form to critical and chart...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=38252 ...

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Elizabeth Clark "Liz" Phair (born April 17, 1967) is an American singer, songwriter and guitarist. Phair began her career in the early 1990s by self-releasing audio cassettes under the moniker Girly Sound, before signing with the independent record label Matador Records. Her 1993 debut studio album Exile in Guyville was released to acclaim: by the turn of the twenty-first century, it had been ranked by Rolling Stone as one of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Ten years after the release of her debut, Phair's fourth album, Liz Phair, was released on Capitol Records and her music began to move in a more pop rock-oriented approach which resulted in a fan and media backlash.Phair was born in New Haven, Connecticut, but was raised in Winnetka, Illinois, by wealthy adoptive parents. She graduated from New Trier High School in 1985. During high school, Phair was involved in student government, yearbook, and the cross country team, and took AP Studio Art her senior year, among many other advanced-level classes. She attended Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio, and majored in art history. ... Read more
