Wow.
Ryan WarnerHOST
I am getting The Love Child of Beth Orton and Liz Phair.
Alicia SweeneyCORRESPONDENT
I love that you said that, Ryan.
Alicia SweeneyCORRESPONDENT
Yes.
Bree DaviesHOST
I have a tattoo that says, "You go west, young man," which is, like, real Manifest Destiny oriented.
Bree DaviesHOST
And I didn't think about it at the time 'cause it's also the line from a Liz Phair song that I love called Go West.
Bree DaviesHOST
Um, but it's actually attributed to Horace Greeley.
Bree DaviesHOST
Um, it's, it's complicated, but it is part of, like, the West, right? We know when we are home, we know we're the We- You know what I mean? Like, that's just something in us.
Bill WymanGUEST
And I've always felt bad for those guys because that was a very rough year for them.
Bill WymanGUEST
And what people might not know is that in the wake of Liz Phair and Nirvana, Urge Overkill was the next big thing on Geffen.
Bill WymanGUEST
And there were just a lot of people saying this was going to be the next big record.
Bill WymanGUEST
They were going to be on the cover of Spin and all this stuff was going to happen.
Mark CaroHOST
They were sort of my pick to click at the time.
Bill WymanGUEST
And they sold a lot of records.
Bill WymanGUEST
I think they sold 300,000 records before Liz Phair even came along.
Bill WymanGUEST
But one night at Metro, Red Red Meat was playing, and there was a guy in Red Red Meat, and he'd apparently gone up behind Jim Ellison at the Empty Bottle and then urinated on him or something.
Lily GeismerGUEST
[laughs] Yeah.
Jason MilesHOST
Do I have to do some Liz Phair or no? [laughs]
Lily GeismerGUEST

Jimmy GownleyHOST
So I treated myself.
Jimmy GownleyHOST
And I went and I got to see Liz Phair play.

Jimmy GownleyHOST
I had seen Liz before, but I had never seen Slater-Kenney.
Jimmy GownleyHOST
And I just wanted to say the show was incredible.
Jimmy GownleyHOST
Absolutely incredible and inspiring.
Jimmy GownleyHOST
Liz Phair is a force of nature.
Jimmy GownleyHOST
She never sounded better.
Frank J. AvellaGUEST
Yeah.
Megan McLaughlinHOST
Do they play the song by Liz Phair, Digger? Because that's what I always think when I...
Megan McLaughlinHOST
Does anybody else know this song? Am I the only one who knows
Frank J. AvellaGUEST
this? I do know this song.
Megan McLaughlinHOST
So wait,
Joey MoserHOST
wait, wait, wait, wait.
Joey MoserHOST
So Digger's not a Liz Phair biopic? No.
Joey MoserHOST
No,
Kathleen HannaHOST
My guests today are three women who absolutely helped define the alternative rock explosion of the 1990s, claiming space in a male-dominated industry with their raw sounds, political urgency, and zero apologies.
Kathleen HannaHOST
Liz Phair, alongside Kerry Brownstein and Corin Tucker of Slater Kinney, are currently co-headlining the Flannel and the Fury Tour, bringing fans what they call One night of reckless hope and musical splendor.
Kathleen HannaHOST
Today, they all join me on Music Makes Us to share stories from the road and the scene that shaped them, from zines and misogynist soundchecks and dancing with the black keys.
Kathleen HannaHOST
You're going to want to hear this one.
Liz PhairGUEST
So it was just me bugging harder and then trying to bug you guys to say yes.
Liz PhairGUEST

A misspelling gave the album its final name.
