In Texas, restitution for victims is nothing but a state-sanctioned sham.
If you thought Seattle couldn't fetishize coffee any more, you haven't been to a "cupping" yet.
In some ways, I feel for Phair. Unknown artists who rocket to such great heights with their debuts have a difficult time living up to their own standards. She could produce 10 more CDs that suit her personality these days, and the Guyville geeks like myself would just mutter that the new stuff isn't as profound as the record she released when she was 26. But at least with this month's round of Guyville tours, the Phair snobs have their day by the stage, celebrating these damn catchy anthems of dating and berating the lovable losers.
