SONG OF THE DAY: OH MY GOD

Before there was Liz Lemon, there was Liz Phair, and she once appeared on this cable access-turned-MTV show called Squirt TV with host Jake who I now see walking around the city from time to time. Love you Liz Phair, even if you're later albums and concerts weren't exactly up to par (even when you played Exile in Guyville from start to finish). But if you ever choose to do Girlysounds from start to finish, lemme know!

SONGS ABOUT PLANE CRASHES

I'm always delighted to discover the original version of a sample, cover or song reference that I previously didn't know about. This weekend, I uncovered experimental electronic artist Laurie Anderson's 1982 album Big Science, which shot to fame after John Peel played the hauntingly soothing track O Superman, which then reached No. 2 on the UK charts.

Swedish electro goddess Robyn apparently sampled from Big Science's opening track, from the air. And since both tracks are about plane crashes (which I had a dream about last night), I'm posting my favorite plane crash song of all time by Ms. Liz Phair.

Robyn - Bionic Woman / Crash and Burn Girl
