Liz Phair - 1993 - Exile In Guyville (2018 Remaster)

Liz Phair - 1993 - Exile In Guyville (2018 Remaster) @320

If Exile in Guyville is shockingly assured and fully formed for a debut album, there are a number of reasons why. Most prominent of these is that many of the songs were initially essayed on Liz Phair's homemade cassette Girlysound, which means that the songs are essentially the cream of the crop from an exceptionally talented songwriter. Second, there's its structure, infamously patterned after the Stones' Exile on Main St., but not the song-by-song response Phair promoted it as. (Just try to match the albums up: is the "blow-job queen" fantasy of "Flower" really the answer to the painful elegy "Let It Loose"?) Then, most notably, there's Phair and producer Brad Wood's deft studio skills, bringing a variety of textures and moods to a basic, lo-fi production. There is as much hard rock as there are eerie solo piano pieces, and there's everything in between from unadulterated power pop, winking art rock, folk songs, and classic indie rock. Then, there are Phair's songs themselves. At the time, her gleefully profane, clever lyrics received endless attention (there's nothing that rock critics love more than a girl who plays into their geek fantasies, even -- or maybe especially -- if she's mocking them), but years later, what still astounds is the depth of the writing, how her music matches her clear-eyed, vivid words, whether it's on the self-loathing "Fuck and Run," the evocative mood piece "Stratford-on-Guy," or the swaggering breakup anthem "6'1"," or how she nails the dissolution of a long-term relationship on "The Divorce Song." Each of these 18 songs maintains this high level of quality, showcasing a singer/songwriter of immense imagination, musically and lyrically. If she never equalled this record, well, few could.

Gold Ft. Avelino Pitts & Welfare – Lost Treasure From 1974: A 24K Nugget Of Previously Unreleased Psychedelic Soul (2011) 320

The Magnetic Fields - 1999 - 69 Love Songs

The Magnetic Fields - 1999 - 69 Love Songs @320

Whether it's falling in it, losing it or trying to find it, the subject of love brings out the best and worst in pop music. For every God Only Knows, there's a My Heart Will Go On, after all. So an "epic" that boasts 69 songs concerned with matters of the heart could be a masterwork of big ideas and strange fascinations or an overblown narcissistic suicide note.

Thankfully, The Magnetic Fields' 69 Love Songs is an album of such tenderness, humour and bloody-minded diversity, it'll have you throwing away your preconceptions and wondering how you ever survived a broken heart without it. The brainchild of American maverick Stephen Merritt, the Magnetic Fields' previous albums, The Wayward Bus and Distant Plastic Trees, have won critical praise and a celebrity fan-club that includes Brian Wilson.

Merritt has attempted to explain his love of love and of music in every conceivable way and in every possible style over this 3-CD set. From loud and proud anthem When My Boy Walks Down The Street to the subtle longing of I Don't Want To Get Over You, Merritt has songs for anyone who's ever been in love or ever wanted to. His heart is despondent, though always strangely satisfied. He's bitter but never completely twisted.

He plays at Frank Sinatra in Love is Like Jazz, while he's Johnny Cash advertising for love in the personals in A Chicken With Its Head Cut Off. And while we never get a sense of just who Merritt is, 69 Love Songs reveals his passions as show-stopping tunes - Very Funny will appeal to anyone who's ever longed to be a Butlin's red coat. Gospel, Euro-pop, 60s girl groups and 80s synth come together with an eye for detail and a gift for telling stories to make songs to hum in the dark, eccentric visions of what love is and what it could be. "The endless streets I walk along," guest star LD Beghtol sings in Bitter Tears, "you made them seem pretty."

Merritt's lyrics are cruel and crushing, Goffin-King songs sung by fallen cheerleaders and ugly teenage boys. "Well I'm sorry that I love you/It's just a phase I'm going through," sings vocalist Shirley Simms, while Claudia Gonson observes: "If you don't cry/It isn't love/If you don't cry/Then you just don't feel it deep enough." 69 Love Songs is an essential guide to loving music.
