Oh. My. Gawd. Becky.
Is it really tomorrow night? All this time practicing all my moves and memorizing the stupid rules and Exile in {Imaginary} Girlville is finally, almost definitely here!?! Just one more night? (OK, I'll try to calm down with the !s.)
Also pretty damn exciting though is that Liz Phair's masterpiece Exile in Guyville is now, again, back in record stores for its 15th anniversary and out on ATO Records. It will be available on vinyl, CD, and digitally (for the first time). The new reissue also includes four new songs: "Ant in Alaska" (download it from Stereogum), "Wild Thing," "Say You," and an unnamed instrumental. Now you can buy it again to study for the "Name that Lyric" contest between songs at Exile in {Imaginary} Girlville or maybe you've always wanted to own a copy on vinyl. Really, though, there's no bad reason for buying such a special record.
Also included is a DVD of a documentary about the album called "Guyville Redux," where Phair interviews some of the original "Guyville guys" about the record and its legacy. Here's the trailer:
Tomorrow night. Tomorrow!?!
Hear every other song from Exile in Guyville from "6'1"" to "Strange Loop" at Exile in {Imaginary} Girlville at Chop Suey on Wednesday, June 25. Doors at 8pm, 21+, $8 adv. through Ticketweb.

I just did a blogging endorsing Calico Horse as the new music of the day, but this is obviously THE RECORD OF THE DAY (and the week, and month ... etc.).
See you all tomorrow night!
(And I AM going out to buy the reissue at lunch time ... who else is?)

My apologies for the shameless factor, but Easy Street records has this masterpiece super sale priced at $11.99 (CD), AND we will be on hand tomorrow night at Chop Suey with both the CD and the Vinyl for sale!
