I had a guy in the store yesterday who was really, really annoyed with me personally because his favorite TV manufacturer doesn't make a TV in the size he wanted. People are strange.

Liz Phair – Cinco de Mayo
Love me some Liz.
1994
Unfortunately, there weren't too many videos from back in the day that captured her as she deserved (audio is pretty crappy all around too). Here's one more classic (with better audio, and a little less wooden performance) that we obviously couldn't lead with, but deserves mention all the same.

March 27, 2015: Forgetfulness
I keep forgetting to get my hair cut on my days off. It's totally out of control.
Solange – Sandcastle Disco
Though this young woman comes from an, err, established lineage, she's certainly found her own path.

Half-Baked Hall: 1926 Election Results
Can everyone agree this ballot was really uninspiring? We'll wait for DG to update the spreadsheet, but I'm guessing it garnered our least number of YES votes. Did that help any former holdovers?
