well, i love her.
just let in to know that she has a page for downloads in her website.
support her!!!
http://www.julianahatfield.com/jhdownloads.html

I'm tryin' to spread some juliana around , but the other rednecks I run with are still stuck on line dancin' to some country ass wanna be cowboy like Kenny Chesney--- On the upside though I think I got Miss Kitty hooked.....

I always liked her song called Spin The Bottle

that song's great. itchy, rocking and her girlish voice. love her!!!

My opinion is that Juliana is simply the greatest female rocker of my time. That's just me though. I really shouldn't be posting this on Liz Phair forum... but... oh well.

yeah, you should be shot like a deer.

seriously, she's up there for me with liz phair, aimee mann and kristin hersh.

Woooohoo!! Shoot me! She definately is up there... and way ahead of all of the above. For me, PJ is here only rival. From composition to playing, instrumentally none of these women can hang with Juliana if you ask me... that's just me though. I would love to see Liz and Juliana do a guitar battle. That would be totally sexy.

that's it, prepare to die!!!!!


but really, kristin hersh towers over all the others, even pj. liz (exile, whip-smart era liz) is better than juliana. aimee mann is better than juliana. but hatfield is the most consistently excellent, actually aimee mann is more so but juliana...(suffocates on keyboard)

Aparently I'm not the olny one with his mind in the gutter Now olny if this battle could take place in a tub of jello...........

I bought this album three weeks ago I can't get enough of it!!!!!

i love that record, eden. it's one of her best. i've been listening to it lately and was struck by how ethereal the vocals are in "no answer". i love that.

she joined The Lemonhead's album as a background vocal before, the song My drug Buddy.....her voice is so nice

yes the album is great, Forever baby is a lovely song.....!!!!!

I listened to the song "Fireflies" It was ok, but I really have no opinion. Which album is Juliana's Best?

"become what you are" is my favorite juliana hatfield album. but "beautiful creature" is quite lovely as well.

hey blair though I don't have this album yet but it look so fucking cool and I love it~
by the way : what's the song " supermodel " wanna talked about?
and her voice is childish......lovely angel!

I liked this...

i love only one song in "feel it", the first track then it all goes flat, just my opinion.

"supermodel" is about a model. she's not really that cryptic about lyrical content. she's pretty straight forward.

The highest paid piece of ass.
You know it's not gonna last.
Those magazines end up in the trash., yeah

What's the big idea, none of that stuff is even real.
Wanna know how they really feel, yeah

Five thousand dollars a day,
Is what they pay my baby
For her pretty face.
Five thousand dollars a day,
Is what they pay my baby
For her pretty face.

I came over as soon as she called.
'Cause she's a living doll.
And she's famous for nothing at all., yeah
She's living life like a dream,
With a false sense of self-esteem.
I wish she'd trade places with me,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Five thousand dollars a day,
Is what they pay my baby
For her pretty face.
Five thousand dollars a day,
Is what my baby gets paid
For being just another pretty face.

she's cool... i like her best with the blake babies

That album is one of my favourites.
I wore the cd out.

Juliana's other albums just haven't measured up,
but I keep buying them anyway.

Back on topic...

(is that even possible?)

I am looking into purchasing "hey babe" her firsty album right?

Yes, her 1st solo after blake babies ----- you'll love
it. Excellent progression track to track. Starts strong,
finishes strong. Get it now

during the day I listen her debut I getting to love her since her voice so nice and childish............anyway I like it so much!

Things I don't really understand and I have no idea..........

everybody loves me but you

= everybody loves me but you don't love me?

or = everybody loves me but you, so that everyone hate you?

it does mean everybody loves me but you don't

I gotta question.... What the hell is "Fleur de Lys"??

i don't know the exact meaning of the lyrics of that song. but i think she had the english translation in her best of compilation, gold stars. which i think was a complete waste of money, since i've heard most all of the songs included.

fleur de lys - flower of the lily

and i don't speak french.

by the way, there are more songs in her website available for download and please support this woman as well.

Come on Blair! One second you're saying that you wasted money on the woman and then the next you are saying to contribute to her old demo stuff that she's putting on her website. Are you confused?

I found the Goldstar notes online here. Or if you just want the Fleur de Lys translation part.

Fleur de Lys: The French are not known for their great rock music. I wanted to fill this void. In translation, my contribution to French rock is a classic girl-wants-boy scenario: "I had two orange juices. I was thirsty. Help me. I need a man. Where do you live? With whom? Maybe, at the end of the century, you will love me. I want to play. I had three pain-au-chocolats. I wasn't hungry. How much for your body? Come on. Push."

yeah, but the songs in gold stuff can be found in her LPs except for some that i've downloaded from soulseek, as god's foot (an unreleased album). yes, i am very confused.

You get Juliana's version of "Every Breath you take" Which is one of the most interesting cover songs EVER! ...if you ask me that is. She bangs out the bass intro on guitar and rocks away! I still love it everytime I hear it.

Juliana featuring The Lemonhead's my grag buddy, sounds so good..........please try it~!

i have heard of juliana's version of every breath you take, it's amazing.

my drug buddy, eden. yeah, she was in that. she used to have a relationship with evan dando.

I can't wait!

me as well. i just know this will be an amazing record. plus the cover is hot. is that her?

I doubt it. The boobs seem too big. Juliana could use a cheeseburger or two.

-press release for upcoming record, made in china (courtesy of jimmy - veruca salt board)

so it is her. hot!

Oh I like that song. I heard it by accident 'cause my download program said Tori sang it. Then it opened it and it was a different song.

Me either. So far she doesn't have any tour dates down south...damnit. Just think-- If it wasn't for these boards I probably never would have heard of Juliana. Perhaps I should move from the buckle of the country belt......................

As Liz continues to meld with the LA pop music scene, Juliana is determined to stick to her roots. God, I can't fuckin wait.

Juliana had this to say about the record :

Everything else is made in China so why not me?

I did make this record very fast and very cheaply. My music is for sale and I am my music and therefore I am for sale. What does it mean to a person whose identity is very wrapped up in the music she makes, if her worth is measured by how many records she sells? I sold most of my records more than ten years ago and since then everything I do is measured against that. “Standing in the cement/Buried in that moment” (from “What Do I Care” ) refers to that era. I hate to even direct your thoughts to that place. They would have gone there anyway for an easy reference point- they always do. ( “former alterna-waif” or whatever ). Verses and choruses fight with each other: gratitude and hope versus bitterness and despondency. Fed up, discouraged, sick-of-it-all (“I don't want to stay awake” [“Stay Awake”]), I struggle to hold on to dignity (”you're over me but I'm alive”) and humility (“It's a miracle I'm even here” [“What Do I Care”] ). And my music isn't getting any worse. How do I wipe the slate clean? I don't want to wipe the slate clean. I'm proud of what I've done. How do I get your attention? Implants? Do I have to take my clothes off to be heard? Well, I put a chunk of my naked flesh on the cover of my album. It's the viscera where my art comes from. But you don't know that. You'll just see a sexy chopped-off torso.(“I'm just an object to you, like books and shoes.”[“Stay Awake”]). No pesky head, or legs to run away on. Can I be popular now, again? What if I don't want to be popular? What if I didn't like it? Being popular has never been cool.

I was in love when I wrote and recorded this album. Can you tell? Can you tell I have no faith in love, no hope in it, no belief? The only song you could classify as anything remotely resembling a love song is “Digital Penetration”, a song more about lust than love, really... winterlust.

I played all the instruments on “Oh”. My first drumming ever on an album. The Unbusted, a young band (average age: 22) from Martha's Vineyard, backed me up on a lot of the other songs. Plus, Pete Caldes (drums) and Ed Valuaskas (bass) from Boston bands the Gentlemen and the Gravel Pit played on “Digital Penetration”, ”My Pet Lion”, and “On Video”.

I produced the album. Brian Brown engineered most of it. Paul Kolderie (Hole, Radiohead, Dinosaur Jr., my own “Only Everything” album, etc., etc., etc.) engineered some of it. It was done in Vermont and Cambridge, Massachusetts. There was no vocal comping - no pulling phrases and words from different takes here and there to form an acceptable whole master lead vocal... All the vocal takes were whole, unchopped, unedited takes. (Not that there's anything wrong with comping - I did it on most of my other albums).

People can buy this record or not. I don't care. Or at least I can pretend not to care. But I do care. (”You can break me.” [“What Do I Care”]). My official position is: I don't care. I can't care and have the total freedom that I have, to do whatever I want. There's a price to pay for personal and artistic freedom. Anyway, whether people buy me or not, it won't change the way I feel about things. It didn't then and it won't now. I'm a born loner, skeptical of everything. Of success. Of anyone who ever claimed to love me. I should have called this album “Doubt”. I almost called it “The Island”, in honor of not belonging. Not wanting to belong. How can anyone with a conscience feel at home in this world? The world has been taken over by greed. Money and corruption, hand in hand, everywhere. People pollute my water and poison my air and my home, even, (“Hole in the Sky”, ”Rats in the Attic”), with commerce and industry. Even in the arts, the motivating force in today's culture is money. I don't care about money and so I am on my own. I am my own industry. A small, self-sufficient one. I don't need a million dollars. There is such a thing as too much money. Too much- too much of anything- is ugly. Integrity? What's that? Who cares anymore? Integrity is so old-fashioned, like flower power. And the ones who proclaim most loudly and vehemently that they have it are the ones who are the most corrupt. Like those child-molesting Catholic priests. ( “Just 'cause you say you're a good man doesn't make it true” [ “On Video”] ). It's impossible to sellout these days. “Selling out” is an antiquated concept. Everyone is licensing their songs to car commercials. That didn't used to be okay. Bob Dylan is in a Victoria's Secret ad. The most talented girl singers have turned themselves into strippers. A notch above porn stars. 'Cause sex sells. The next step would be for them to actually have sex in their videos. Mariah Carey has implants. Christina Aguilera has implants. Gwen Stefani has implants. Even her. She finally gave in. And Beyoncé is on her hands and knees evoking doggy-style sex in one of her videos. And she has so much (singing) talent! Why, Beyoncé, why? Why, world, why? Why do you demand this of her?

“In Exile Deo”, my last album, was a fairly clean, tailored, buttoned-up, adult affair, influenced somewhat by the record company who wanted a product they could sell. But I could have told them I am not very marketable. I don't fit in anywhere. I am a sensitive singer-songwriter, a hard rocker, a pop diva, and a dadaist. I am none of these things. “Made in China” fell together faster and looser and louder than “Exile”. Some of the words came streaming out in only partially-conscious automatic writings. Some were more composed, deliberate, and message-y. I have my own label now so I can do whatever I want and no one can make me....

I am a confused, sloppy, childish, conflicted mess.

I give up. I'll never give up.

does anyone have the streams to 'fireflies' or 'perfect stranger'?? she removed the downloads off her site for the time being

I haven't heard her latest yet. I'll need to go out in search of it this week.

i have copies of the demo's, but i need a stream in order to put the songs up on myspace.. HELP!!!

thanx FU Blair for posting Juliana's MIC letter... My dumb ass couldn't figure out how.

there are a few songs on gold stars that arent on her LPs. i think there are 7 or so new ones. "table for one"...incidentally also the title of a new liz phair song is on there as is "your eyes" and a cover of "only love can break your heart" and "every breath you take" and "we will rise again"

Got my CD yesterday. Been listening. Good shit! Lots of heavy guitar.

what's your favorite song? i have the leak haha. wait, not that leak. a leak of the album.


i love going blonde, hole in the sky and stay awake. this reminds me heavily of total system failure.

still waitin' on my copy.. I'z late ordering it.

I love the new album. Hole In The Sky is my favorite song. I love the whole "feel" of the song. I've been listening to it over and over.

yeah, hole in the sky is so beautiful, it's actually the only slow song in the album. stay awake is my favorite amongst the fast songs.

i really like hte new album. i think she's my favorite artist. she's definately one of my favorites. i really like send money and digital penetration.

total system failure is probably my least favorite if i had to pick but i love this one. im in canada and i couldnt find the album anywhere. i had to order it off amazon as an import.
