A friend of mine is unfamiliar with Juliana so I decided to make him my own version of Gold Stars (called "Shiny Gold Stars"; tracklisting will be added at the end of this email) and it really struck me how amazing Juliana Hatfield is as a musician. Don't get me wrong, I love Liz very much but c'mon, Juliana has been making music for ages and shows no signs of stopping. Her work with The Blake Babies was impressive but I feel she really hit her stride with her solo work. "Hey Babe" and "Please Do Not Disturb" are among her most overlooked albums IMHO. I caught a re-run of VH-1's Greatest Women In Rock And Roll and was sad to see that no mention of Juliana was ever made. She seems to me to be more proficient and talented than, say, Alanis Morissette (who ranked pretty high, even higher than Liz Phair [!!!] and Tori Amos [!!!!!!]). It would be nice to see Juliana get more recognition for her talents. But, I am very excited to see Juliana and Some Girls (Freda Love and Heidi Gluck) on at least 2 of their upcoming shows (in Cleveland, Ohio and St. Louis, Missouri). I feel that Juliana really deserves more credit than she seems to get........ Er, don't know why I'm spewing these ramblings here.......Liz news is kinda sparse I guess and I really equate Liz and Juliana with Liz the more well-known and Juliana as the unsung muse. They really are both amazing musicians and I feel it needs to be said. On another non-Liz note, I think I'm seeing The Breeders this weekend in Chicago with my BF......any others going to this show? Okay I'm done now.......carry on........Liz if you're out there.......I/We need some new tunes........
