You can read a review of Peace & Love and listen to a phone interview with Juliana at The University of San Diego Student Radio.
A word of warning - there is a loud extended burst of white noise at the end of the interview. Turn it off after Juliana says goodbye 25 minutes in if you value your ears.
The final batch of guest posts from Juliana's stint as guest editor of magnetmagazine.com:
Ben & Jerry's Everything But The... Ice Cream
Referring To Everything As "This Guy"
"Jung also reinforced my instinctive belief that exploring my emotional problems through creativity/art is an extremely worthwhile pursuit not just for me but for anyone struggling with identity problems. Or any problems, really."
"When I’m skiing and I see a bump coming up in my path, I get all excited like when an alcoholic sees a bottle of booze."
More Magnet guest posts:
"I bounce around my apartment singing, “She’s a real sad tomato/She’s a busted valentine,” and feeling really good about life."
The Magnet guest editing continues with Juliana's comments on the song 'And Her Tears Flowed Like Wine'.
"My newfound love for The Rockford Files (and for RTV in general) is partly nostalgia (for my childhood, for the ’70s), but part of it is the fact that Jim Rockford, the self-employed private detective (“$200 a day, plus expenses”), is such a great creation. I love that he lives in a run-down trailer in the parking lot of a restaurant by the ocean in Malibu."
As part of her guest editing of magnetmagazine.com, Juliana has now shared her thoughts on The Rockford Files, animal prints, and, as you do, the 'Puppy Bowl'.
"I never decided to become a singer. Singing was just something I always did. From the time I could make noise come out of my mouth, I was singing. I made up songs in the car when I was three or four years old. My mother always told me I used to make up songs about the scenery we were passing by. And I’d sit in the back seat and sing."
Quote taken from a Q & A with Juliana Hatfield posted today on magnetmagazine.com, which Juliana is guest editing this week.
"When you can accept limitations, you stop fighting them. I think that is what the record is about."
Read more about the new album's themes, the recording process and Juliana's plans to retreat from music and touring in an extended Q & A at Boston Magazine.
"I really have these dreams of secluding myself in a monastery for years and being silent and eating brown rice and doing nothing else. That appeals to me that life. I just read “Eat, Pray, Love” that Ashram sounds so great to me.You probably would miss some of the world. Probably a nice new bag can make me happy. If I wasn’t developing this lust for nice things, I never had that lust. I find myself wanting to get a fat chunky gold ring. I don’t have any nice jewelry. I want that but at the same time I want to be a monk. "
More on the new album, Lindsay Lohan, blogs, books and Juliana's new found love of Twitter in an interview with Amy Shuster for Pop-Rock Candy Mountain.
“You can be more efficient as an artist today, you don’t need a studio, but ... it takes away some of the mystique and excitement of putting a record out.”
Juliana on reported plans for the new (and seemingly confirmed as acoustic) album, a new non-fiction book, a novel and painting projects in an article in Falls Church News Press.

“I make music because I’m compelled to make music, and I don’t know why. It’s just something I’m born with. I do find it hard to communicate in everyday life, and music has always been a way for me to communicate with people — much easier than talking.”
Juliana interviewed by The Duxbury Reporter ahead of her appearance at the Duxbury Free Library on 22 February.
The Highway Girl interviewed Juliana at the Cafe Du Nord show in San Francisco in September. The video also includes clips from Live at Lime.
Recent interviews are now up at The Herald Dispatch and Friends Of Animals.
"My brain is always working, but when I'm writing or playing music my brain sort of shuts down and goes into a mode where I don't have to worry about anything. In the creative process time stops, and you're just totally in the moment, and the whole rest of the world falls away."
Juliana Hatfield, interviewed by Joe Uchill for expressmilwaukee.com
"I needed support rom anywhere I could find it. I wanted to tell the truth and let people know what was going on. I'd had to cancel a book reading without an explanation, so it only seemed fair. I've had tons of reaction: people have been very sweet and kind."

"The quality of life is really nice -- and sensible. And people don't seem as stressed out and angry as they are in the States. You get the feeling they're not struggling and pushing hard all the time. They're living their lives and there's an appreciation of things rather than a constant striving to see how far you can get. At this stage in my life, I'm just sort of into living."
