The latest incarnation of cult TV show Beverly Hills 90210 has fellow '90s icon LIZ PHAIR providing the musical soundtrack. PHAIR is currently enjoying renewed attention and touring on the back of the reissue of her classic 1993 album Exile in Guyville, which was re-released this year with an accompanying documentary about the making of the album that features interviews with actor John Cusack and producer Steve Albini. The reincarnation of the soap that revolves around the antics of rich Beverly Hills teenagers aired with a two-hour premiere that heavily featured music, including a performance by Tilly and the Wall at one of the character's 16th birthday parties. As well as the 90210 work, PHAIR is currently writing a new album and is also working on the soundtrack for controversial new CBS show Swingtown, which investigates the 1970s swingers party scene. ...

Turns out Tilly and the Wall's performance wasn't the only notable musical aspect of the new "90210" . The CW television show that resurrects the beloved 1990s teen soap opera premiered this week, bringing a whole new generation of rich Beverly Hills high schoolers into our lives (and proving that Shannen Doherty's career may come and go, but Brenda Walsh is forever). And the original music behind the trials and tribulations of said high schoolers? Why, it’s being provided by none other than LIZ PHAIR . Man, talk about a 90s revival. According to The Hollywood Reporter , the Chicago Tribune and other sources, PHAIR is one of the three composers behind the score for "90210". This isn't her first foray into television soundtrack work; as previously reported , she is scoring the CBS show "Swingtown" . PHAIR hasn't let all of this TV work get in the way of her day job, though. She's scheduled three October performances of her classic, recently reissued 1993 album Exile in Guyville , and she's still working on a new album for new label ATO . And if you are a fan of LIZ PHAIR, The Matrix , or funny things in general, please, for the love of god, do not watch this . read more ...

Rolling Stone interviews Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders . NPR is streaming LIZ PHAIR's West Hollywood performance of Exile in Guyville . Pitchfork interviews Lambchop's Kurt Wagner. Pitchfork: How does your background in visual art inform your music? KW: With abstract work, I never was quite sure what it was that felt right about the painting, but I did know that I responded to it and I liked whatever it was offering me. That's something that seems to happen as well when I'm writing, where maybe things that don't necessarily make a lot of logical sense are put together, and yet we struggle to make sense of these things somehow. I'm not quite sure why that is; it's something about human nature, I guess. But I'm interested in that way we perceive things, and that was part of what I was getting into in painting-- the idea of perception and how information goes through our heads and it comes out another way. The Minneapolis City Pages interviews Silver Jews frontman Dave Berman. CP: The popularity of the Silver Jews has grown steadily over the years without having so much as even a modest radio hit. In the sink-or-swim world of the music industry, your band is one of few that have managed to succeed in this fashion. To what do you attribute your success? DB: I think there needs to be a wall between art and commerce as thick as the one between church and state. Singles are promotional items. Bait for the discography. Afterwards, the singl ...

Have you experienced anything that shattered your perception of the world today? I did when I heard that the pestilent Katy Perry was going to perform Madonna's "Like A Virgin" at the Video Music Awards. But even that piece of news didn't compare to the above video, in which LIZ PHAIR "satirizes" the period when she was under the influence of the Avril-approved songwriting borg The Matrix by, uh, starring in her own version of The Matrix . I'm going to say, in fact, that anyone who sits through all three minutes and however many seconds of the above clip is hereby excused from—nay, not allowed to even consider —sitting through Perry's performance on Sunday, if only because I care about the mental well-being of each and every last one of you.

Fifteen years after it was released, Exile in Guyville still resonates — if not for its faded shock value, then for its brilliant songcraft. It remains a vivid, beautifully realized pastiche of hard rock, moody piano pieces and power-pop. To mark the 15th anniversary of its release, PHAIR gave this live performance of the entire album, recorded at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, Calif. ...
