This song sounds like it was glued together using leftover parts from other songs.  A real mess.

I think Liz has done some smart marketing to push her sexuality and lyrics that turn heads coming from a woman (HWC) I think she is a great way-point for how we perceive women and sexuality in lyrics in comparison to men.

But I would like to see if she is more than just sexual marketing + half decent song writing

Honestly if a man was to sing songs like she does - would we even take notice?

Not having anything from "Exile in Guyville" from Liz is like RP not playing any Who from "Who's Next".

That's just bullshit. Liz Phair's not Bob Dylan, but there's only one of those. She's a good songwriter. You're just trying to be cute.

On a real acoustic guitar depending on what chord progression your playing it's almost unavoidable. It's the nature of the beast. Lots of recorded acoustic guitar tunes have that finger sliding sound..

For a really prominent example of this phenomenon, listen closely some time to "Every Breath You Take." :-)
