This summer, a new festival is coming to Chicago, and it’s billing itself as “the biggest women-led and women-powered” festival out there. The new Versa Festival is specifically built around spotlighting women, and it’s not just a music festival. The Versa lineup includes comedians like Chelsea Handler and Ilana Glazer, speakers like pioneering feminist Gloria Steinem, and food curated by Top Chef judge Gail Simmons.

And so it’s kind of hilarious to see a press release claiming that the two have “finally” teamed up, as if the world had spent years wondering when these tw...

As chronicled by Tom last Friday, Exile In Guyville made Liz Phair an indie rock hero. The album blazed new trails: a woman invading (and mostly besting) a boys-club genre, addressing the thrills and spills of modern sexuality in bracingly honest fashion, delivered in the context of short stories deftly disguised as songs. She was [...]

On her extremely bizarre and kinda-funny 2010 album Funstyle, Liz Phair played around with Bollywood sounds, which was not something anyone ever expected with her. And on the soundtrack to the forthcoming family dramedy People Like Us, Phair actually hooks up with a figure of Bollywood-music royalty: A.R. Rahman, who has scored about a bazillion...

Two years ago, Liz Phair self-released her bizarre and bridge-burning Funstyle album. And now she’s suddenly just now released a video for one of that album’s better song’s, the melodic-as-all-hell “And He Slayed Her.” The track’s title is a mutation of “Andy Slater,”...
