Liz Phair : 'Down' (Unreleased track)

From "Rare & Unreleased" and, once again (in my humble opinion) should have been released. Absolutely mesmerizing. (and there are more ... many more).

I absolutely love this song. Years ago I stumbled on a slightly shorter version of it that accompanied a fairly simple video and it's been in my Liz collection ever since. To me it's pretty clear what this song is about, and many of us who've been through similar personal shit can't help but relate.

If "whitechocolatespaceegg" showed some of the ways that motherhood and divorce affected her, I feel like this song marked the result of that process. I absolutely love nearly everything she's done, but there's a clear line between Liz's work before this, and after it.

Wow a thumbs down! I must pause to congratulate wherever it was for their taking of apparently excessive effort in bringing the mouse cursor towards the thumbs up/down buttons and actually depressing the mouse clicking plunger. Here, ladies and gentlemen, is an example of someone "getting involved"! Having an opinion *and expressing it*. Uncanny to say the least!

Thank you unknown thumbs down clicking person. Thank you for showing us that resistance needn't be passive. Ne'er mind what Gandhi thinks or said!

I love this one. It's better than anything on her last three albums.

Any word on what session/year this is from?
