[edit] Albini

The part about Steve Albini is unclear. Did he criticize Phair, or was he defending her? That bit could be rewritten by someone familiar with the controversy. 38.115.19.227 15:27, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] POV

While I'm glad to find someone else besides myself and my ex who like Liz Phair it was a critical flop, not smash. The article even attributes negative reviews and criticism to positive ones (?!). Hyacinth 05:37, 13 May 2004 (UTC)

It can probably be safely regarded as a smash considering the media play of Why Can't I. ~ Joseph S Atkinson 03:50, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Phair fotos

any sites with good updated fotos of phair?

Figured I'd add an album cover while we wait for something better. I thought whitechocolatespaceegg had the best picture of her, so I picked that one. Everyking 22:28, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bisexual

I removed the bit about her bisexuality, since just hinting at it doesn't seem like just cause to include it in an encyclopedia article. I did put the article it is from in the references, however.--Weebot 06:54, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Record sales

The article had a bit re: Whip Smart that it hadn't sold as well as "Guyville". (I reworded the sentence a bit, but someone else wrote it.) However, as I was looking for source info today for my edits, I saw on at least 2 webpages that "Whip-Smart" was actually the best selling LP in Matador Records' history. Which, ergo, means it had to sell more than "Guyville". Does anyone have access to find out what the cumulative sales of "Guyville" and "Whip-smart" have been? NickBurns 20:01, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
