Juliana Hatfield C/D S&D

I decided that she has a hot face but the jaw/bone structure is too big or something. Either way she used to pretty hot in some of her videos and I'm looking forward to listening to her latest two offerings: Made In China and How To Walk Away (will be released August 19th).

She rocks.

I could add her to my fave guitarists thread.She had a way with the open string chords. I dug that Strohm guy from Blake Babies too for similar reasons.

Saw them (BB) open for Buffalo Tom years ago now. Julianna Hatfiled was a tiny bit easier on the eye than Bill Janovitz

what kind of chords? any examples of songs?

Rain by Blake Babies - How to play cool songs

After watching its video a few minutes ago, I'm embarassed that I didn't champion "Universal Heart-beat" a little more in spring '95. God, that tune was everywhere, wasn't it?

This is a screen cap I took from her Blake Babies - Out There video.
I think she's hot in this video. Someone told me she looks like a boy. I told them to stfu.

I'm gonna join her myspace and post this screen cap and see if I get a reply.

Pinefox - not sure of any particular chords but if in standard tuning alot of her stuff sounds like loads of suspended and add nine stuff? Plenty of open strings - limited barre chords - apart from that Total System Failure.

Maybe alt tunings?

Possibly why I never made it. Yes, I play guitar but too lazy for theory and all that

New album's a pleasant surprise--my favorite since the best-of or the first couple Blake Babies:

She's got a book coming out too. I want to read it and Black Postcards at the same time and take a swim in 90s indie nostalgia.

this lonely love is not half bad. sounds like her. refreshing, after being really disappointed by in exile deo.

Did you skip right over her last album Made in China?

apparently.

good or bad?

More good than bad.

hey all you Strohm/Blake babies fans, John has been writing his autobiography here:

lots of cool stuff about growing up in the US hardcore scene in the early 80's, Fer Ark you should check it out.

Of course there is a lot of stuff about J Hatfield as well.

Think I preferred "This Lonely Love" when it was called "It Should Have Been You".

I like the idea of sampling one of your own (I think weaker) songs for a better new one.

ohh wait is that what happened? i thought it sounded like something

but i don't know It Should Have Been you so.

You must've really been disappointed with In Exile Deo! "It Should Have Been You" was on that one.

ugh her blog writing has such an irritating tone

i was fucking disappointed. were you not?

geez, wow. I thought the link was mixed up, but, nope.

I'll probably buy her book, but her writing on her site is pretty something. Not surprising, maybe, and nicely... expansive.

I actually think 'Exile' is one of her best, although I completely understand the dismay at the (over)production. I still listen to it quite often - 'Tourist', 'Sunshine' and 'Jamie' are faves - and have listened to it many more times than 'Made In China'...

it terrified me. overproduction can be a gift, but this was paired with something i wasn't familiar with, with regard to her -- sub-par songwriting? but i do need to give it another chance

She's the new Ray Davies!

This is the homeless lady who will magically make your mother understand you if you give her your new pair of Doc Martens, right?

why does she always look so cross?

I went and saw her read from the book. Did anyone else?

Also only just heard about her and Ryan Adams being 'kindred souls'.

I just started following Juliana on twitter today, and I'm already sort of wishing I didn't. She seems to get on just before midnight and rambles for an hour like a 16-yo girl about this and that (tonight it's American Idol). Image shattered.

she did this about lindsay lohan very recently (and then wrote a song about her)

I just finished her Memoir book.

and?

was just humming some tunes from become what u are.

And it was alright.

It's what you'd expect, probably, but none the less entertaining and enlightening, and so on...

New album - Peace & Love

Not bad on the first couple of listens - lots of acoustic guitar, so certainly peaceful. Not sure that I love it yet though...

huge dud

i want to listen but i worry it's going to be awful

That was pretty cool..

(oh, and check out the 1 comment)

question -- did juliana hatfield do a cover of this song?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQ9nvljscEk

I had no idea until a few days ago she was even recording, never mind releasing, an album with Nada Surf's Matthew Caws. The fifteen-year-old in me is feeling a lot of feelings on first impressions.

I forgot how totally cool she was and then I reminded myself by listening to her cover of "Raisans" today -- but I can't remember whether it was her or someone who sounded like her who sang a cover of Yeh Yeh.

her cover of "Yeh, Yeh" appears on the Fathers & Sons OST, but I've never heard it before.

huh
i have definitely heard it before. maybe i taped it from the library or something? i can see that happening in 10th or 11th gr.
