This amazingly negative review in the New York Times of Liz Phair's "much anticipated" new album gives me an alarming glimpse of the passage of time. I was, as I mentioned on this blog recently, a huge Liz Phair fan back in my teenage years. A while ago, she released an album, whitechocolatespaceegg, that I never bought. Whenever I see it in stores, in the back of my mind, I think to myself, Oh yeah, Liz Phair has a new album out. I really should buy it one of those days. Reading this article, I realized that I've been saying this to myself for five years. How did that happen?
