"This Album is 16 Years Old -- But Its
Completely Brilliant Effort"
After watching a brief television appearance of the reluctant Juliana Hatfield I have to wonder why she never ended up with lloyd Cole. Seriously. I call her reluctant becuase she is indifferent to fame...... She has to create... and I admire that deeply.
Comedianne Jeanine Garafalo once talked about a group of people who come from the 80's who... for whatever reason... absolutely refuse to grow up. They approach 40 and do not want any of the trappings that hold the previous generations. They do not necessarily want the typical jobs, SUVS, children.... and want to live life on their own terms.
From a certain stand point these people are dangerous. They are dangerous to those who want to define themselves and the world they live in by conventional methods..... the boring prisons they put themselves in. Anyone who lives in a box, (apartment) or works in a cube, and eats out of a box, and drives home in another box, (be it a car, SUV or bus perhaps)..... are actually considered the NORMAL people..... Hmmmmm
So by that rational people like Juliana Hatfield, and Lloyd Cole and a whole host of others that number now in the millions are street tough, smart and unpredictable at best. These are a generation of free thinkers.... in a way more dangerous than even the Beat Poets -- minus the drugs.... You get that from Juliana when you see her interviewed -- she is a free spirit.
I have to admit that admire this woman for where she stands with her music. She doesn't care if you like it or that if she will ever get famous. She took realistic pot shots at the current music scene with the likes of Christine Aguelera and Gwen Stefani where their acts resemble something of a strip tease. Juliana is all about the music -- her music -- nothing else. There is nothing self centered or selfish about this ---- if anything its pure art with no compromises.
Thats insulting and dangerous to the recording industry really. Its the kiss of death to big number accounts and large corporate endorsements. Forget beer commercials, cola commercials or retirement fund ads on television. This music is for the musicians and the fans.... nobody else is allowed to go near it really -- not even critics.
Not only that, but its brilliant music -- and it hasn't aged. If anything these tracks were too brief and fell between the cracks of recent memory. And thats a shame. Juliana Hatfield, is amazing to listen to -- I never get tired of hearing these songs.
