Liz Phair Writing Music for New "90210"

Adds more Exile in Guyville shows
Liz Phair Writing Music for New "90210"

Turns out Tilly and the Wall's performance wasn't the only notable musical aspect of the new "90210". The CW television show that resurrects the beloved 1990s teen soap opera premiered this week, bringing a whole new generation of rich Beverly Hills high schoolers into our lives (and proving that Shannen Doherty's career may come and go, but Brenda Walsh is forever). And the original music behind the trials and tribulations of said high schoolers? Why, it’s being provided by none other than Liz Phair. Man, talk about a 90s revival.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Chicago Tribune and other sources, Phair is one of the three composers behind the score for "90210". This isn't her first foray into television soundtrack work; as previously reported, she is scoring the CBS show "Swingtown".

Phair hasn't let all of this TV work get in the way of her day job, though. She's scheduled three October performances of her classic, recently reissued 1993 album Exile in Guyville, and she's still working on a new album for new label ATO.

And if you are a fan of Liz Phair, The Matrix, or funny things in general, please, for the love of god, do not watch this.
