As an experiment, I'm going to post here some of the little blurts I write about music on last.fm -- called "shouts" in the last.fm universe.

The Fall - No Bulbs from The Wonderful & Frightening World of The Fall
I love the melodic stuff from when Brix was around.

Liz Phair - Glory from Exile in Guyville
The guitar seems to have an unusual tuning -- any musicians out there?

Liz Phair - Dogs of L.A. from Whip-Smart
another weird guitar tuning. And bonus points for name-checking both Super 8 and Abe Vigoda.

Liz Phair - Stuck on an Island
"I tried to bend it back into shape with a rake for a crowbar"
