I saw this on her website. Anyone seen these so-called perverted posts?
"Someone purporting to be ‘Juliana Hatfield’ is disseminating disturbing email messages, postings, and e-cards throughout the Internet. "Please ignore any and all unsolicited anti-Semitic, racist/fascist, or sexually perverted email or e-cards sent by ‘Juliana Hatfield.’ It is not coming from me. "This has, sadly, been going on for quite some time. I thought that if I ignored the problem, or at least didn’t acknowledge it publicly, the perpetrator would eventually get this sickness out of his/her system and move on to happier, healthier, more productive pursuits. I was wrong. "And now I feel I must issue this disclaimer, for the benefit of any of you who may yet be targeted: Please don’t open any unsolicited mail from ‘Juliana Hatfield’ if you don’t know me. Please don’t even look at this stuff. It’s ugly and kind of heartbreaking."

i'd be really disappointed to receive an e-card from 'juliana hatfield', only to find out it's not actually from her
― Charlie Howard, Saturday, 21 July 2007 04:35 (sixteen years ago) link
esp. that sort of e card

New blog where J picks a song and writes about the context, inspiration, etc for the piece.

jeez, those are some lengthy blurbs she writes
like that picture of her about halfway down the page (of her blog)
― Charlie Howard, Tuesday, 29 April 2008 15:58 (sixteen years ago) link
Me too, though not sure about the message.
You're right, that's a lot of words. I'll have to try to read them.
― the pinefox, Tuesday, 29 April 2008 16:17 (sixteen years ago) link
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.
― CaptainLorax, Sunday, 1 June 2008 17:44 (sixteen years ago) link
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
― Fer Ark, Sunday, 1 June 2008 18:05 (sixteen years ago) link
what kind of chords? any examples of 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?

http://img71.imageshack.us/img71/2168/11179097cw2.jpg 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.
― CaptainLorax, Sunday, 1 June 2008 20:06 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm gonna join her myspace and post this screen cap and see if I get a reply.
― CaptainLorax, Sunday, 1 June 2008 20:08 (sixteen years ago) link
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
― Fer Ark, Sunday, 1 June 2008 20:27 (sixteen years ago) link
this is true. i love it

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.
― Elvis Telecom, Wednesday, 20 August 2008 22:48 (fifteen years ago) link
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?
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 20 August 2008 23:19 (fifteen years ago) link
apparently.
good or bad?
― Surmounter, Wednesday, 20 August 2008 23:33 (fifteen years ago) link
More good than bad.

hey all you Strohm/Blake babies fans, John has been writing his autobiography here:
http://musicalfamilytree.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?user=34j2mdsgorhfo
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".
― SeekAltRoute, Thursday, 21 August 2008 09:00 (fifteen years ago) link
I like the idea of sampling one of your own (I think weaker) songs for a better new one.
― Pete Scholtes, Friday, 22 August 2008 01:37 (fifteen years ago) link
ohh wait is that what happened? i thought it sounded like something
― Surmounter, Friday, 22 August 2008 01:45 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― SeekAltRoute, Friday, 22 August 2008 02:10 (fifteen years ago) link
ugh her blog writing has such an irritating tone
― electricsound, Friday, 22 August 2008 04:33 (fifteen years ago) link
i was fucking disappointed. were you not?
― Surmounter, Friday, 22 August 2008 04:40 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― derrrick, Friday, 22 August 2008 06:23 (fifteen years ago) link
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'...
― Investment bankers are falling from the sky! (SeekAltRoute), Thursday, 18 September 2008 02:47 (fifteen years ago) link
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

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.

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.
― boxedjoy, Thursday, 7 April 2022 08:01 (two years ago) link
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.
