In a way I think it meant as spite, maybe. Us as fans for years did not bother promoting her music, I blame myself for that....it's always up to the fans to push the artist somewhere and promother them.

I am a musician myself, studied classical/some jazz, I have listen to rock and punk since the age of 10 thanks to my sister/cool uncle Jerry.

But I find that to earn money to survive and to buy equipment or get my foot in the door....I have to wirte Pop/Hip Hop why because most of these singers are slow at finisht their albums therefore I collaborate or wirte for them. It pays or hopefully it will.

Liz Phair is an underground artist, but I think she has woken up like most underground artist that the industry is full of crap and if majority don't listen to her she doesnt get radio play, tour is also cancelled because venues are not convinced that she is talented enough for them to invest their time.

Its a fucking horrible monopoly and I think that's why Ms. Phair is taking that route~ I SUPPORT HER TOTALLY and will also buy her new album to keep her going!

Don't worry she will be back with more fuck and run, I promise!!! It ain't over for her!

She can't make a living depending solely on her undergroud fans, she needs to at least get her album platinum to secure a wide variety of fans from all walks of life.

It's a bit of business and pleasure...she has to do this. All great bands have been bashed from threading on underground to takin g the easy route going into the mainstream......just support her and keep on giving her some ideas of maintaning her art.

Push her album, I have been since last week, and many have grown to like her, listenning to her second album Whip Smart

There has been a lot of discussion as to whether or not Liz Phair is doing the right thing. Although I am not a huge fan of top 40, and prefer her earlier recordings (and yes I have listend to/own them ALL) I still respect her right to choose her path. This does not mean we have to follow it. If she chooses to go a route that we do not agree with (ie following avril) we can either follow her or not. I do not think we can judge her. We merely have to stop buying her albums. Is this not how an audience votes? Stop complaining and either buy or not buy her albums. We can't condemn her for changing her music. But we can choose to listen to it or not. I will probably buy her new album, hate it and not buy another. But I won't blame HER for that. I just won't buy her next one. But I WILL keep listening to Exile, and Juvenilia and WCSE and all the bootlegs. That is what I like. She doesn't have to reproduce those albums, just for me (or us). She doesn't OWE us anything. Neither do we OWE her buying her next (probably crappy) albums.
