Juliana Hatfield C/D S&D

yeah I don't think a few friendly words would be obnoxious at all

I think I wanna make the push and catch up on her complete works. Setting myself up for disappointment? Possibly.

How to Walk Away is my favorite of her 21st century solo albums, and the the short-lived band she had with Freda and Heidi Gluck called Some Girls is her best full band project.

X-post yeah you might be right. I see her pretty often so if the dogs meet again maybe I will say something nice. :)

I guess your dogs never met again.

sometimes i think Feed Me will be her legacy song, as long as anorexics keep sharing it with each other on youtube

Feed me with lyrics

new album of Olivia Newton John covers is due which is... unexpected

sounds pretty good to me!

The Newton-John album is really lovely.

yes, one of my favorites this year, not familiar with anything else she's done (hardly any of the Newton-John songs either) but loving the melodies, the energy/spirit of it

Always liked her, but just now wallowing in nostalgia and connecting with my inner '90s indie rocker by listening to the Blake Babies' Sunburn and then Hey Babe, Become What You Are, and Only Everything. What a great run that is. If she had come up in the '60s she would've been a famous Brill Building hitmaker.

still love her so much

John Strohm has been publishing these great Blake Babies tour diaries on Facebook, check it out for sure if you are a fan

I would but I'm not on Facebook. If they were anywhere else...

gimme a few

good news, it's actually on Wordpress not FB

Oh cool, thanks!

1988-1990 was such an interesting period, when the American Underground of the mid-'80s had made its impact and grunge was bubbling up, and everyone was influenced by similar things but taking those influences off in different directions.

Thought I actually did read something John wrote on FB, but maybe it was just a link to the Wordpress.

correct

I played her newest album Blood the other day, mostly out of goodwill and nostalgia, and even though my personal tastes have shifted from what I was listening to twenty years ago I'm amazed that after nineteen albums she's still writing such strong choruses.

Thank you for that link, sleeve.

My gf was telling me about someone who lives in her friend's building the other day and I realized at some point that she was talking about Freda Love Smith. Neither of them knew that she was in Blake Babies.

!

Haha I keep waiting to run into her around town. I feel like it’s inevitable!!

Her = Freda (not Juliana though that would be awesome too)
