Another new song and this time it's a preview from the now imminent new album.

Stray Kids is track 8 from There's Always Another Girl and can be heard / downloaded at Stereogum.

In her PledgeMusic update yesterday Juliana said:

if you do hear the sneak peek don’t go thinking that the whole album will sound just like that, okay? not that i don’t love the song—i have a special place in my heart for the song.....it has been around me for a while, in different forms.

A spotters badge for anyone who has recognised one of those different forms as Bringing You Down Again - one of the 2009 honor downloads.

"Bizarre Love Triangle" is a single released in 1986 by New Order. A version is included on their album Brotherhood. Though generally regarded as one of the group's best singles, it failed to make the UK Top 40, only reaching #56.

A mighty liveontomorrow.co.uk gold star is awarded to the PledgeMusic pledgetastic™ pledger who chose New Order's Bizarre Love Triangle as a song for Juliana to cover. One of the all time greats.

Visit Juliana's latest PledgeMusic update to hear her acoustic take on the track.

New Song alert. Juliana's cover of Neil Young's Barstool Blues is available to listen at PledgeMusic.

This results from one of the 'record a song of your choice' pledges.

If you have Spotify (which as of today includes those of you in the US), you can listen to Neil Young performing the song live.

As promised, Juliana has added several items of her artwork to the PledgeMusic incentives, mostly offered at $125 each.  

Also, prior to her heading to the studio at the end of the month we now have 2 acoustic songs in progress, available only to those of us who have pledged on this project.  

We're called 'pledgies' don't you know.

See the song above?  Juliana has covered it.

Yes, Juliana has covered Jessie J. With rapping. RAPPING!

This outrageously good track is available as a download in Juliana's latest PledgeMusic update.

So says the bio of Juliana at PledgeMusic, where we find a new song - a cover of Albert Hammond's It Never Rains In Southern California.

It's available to play via the above widget and you can download it in exchange for your email address or login via Facebook.

The song dates back to the early 1970's when it sounded like this:

Albert con su gran exito Nunca Llueve en el Sur de California

The three Peace & Love 'outtakes' which have been streaming on Juliana's MySpace since last year, are now available for mp3 download from her official site.

That's two songs which didn't make the final album  - I Won't Let You Go and Between The Clouds, plus an alternate version of I Picked You Up.

As ever, it's the honor system.  You know the drill.

 

Juliana never fails to surprise. Today she has announced an unexpected left field idea of offering a customised personal song for $1000.  Yes, you have just read that.  

The full details in Juliana's own words are at her official site, where orders are being taken. UPDATE - MAY 12 2010 - Juliana is no longer taking orders.

The key points are:  

• send some personal info and Juliana will tailor-make a song for you
• songs will be ‘mostly acoustic style’
• songs sent by mail in personalised hand painted cardboard CD sleeve 
• $1000 cost on first-come first-served basis, capped at 20
• $10 ‘lottery ticket’ option for one chance to win the same deal
• songs intended solely for recipients, not planned for future release

This offer is intended to help fund two unspecified future projects and a third, which Juliana tantalisingly says...

"..involves gathering together some of my vast unreleased archives."

This idea is a little eccentric and intriguing.  It will also no doubt induce panic among the most compulsively voracious of collectors!  Nonetheless we now know that a) Juliana is still writing new songs and b) there is a “vast” number of old unheard songs she wants to do something with.  Therefore the best news reported on these pages this year.

Three new tracks are now streaming on Juliana's MySpace page.  Described as Peace & Love outtakes, there's an alternate version of I Picked You Up plus two previously unheard songs -  I Won't Let You Go and Between The Clouds.

Two songs from Peace & Love - Let's Go Home and Evan, can be heard now at Direct Current.

Ciao My Shining Star - The Songs Of Mark Mulcahy, which features Juliana's cover of We're Not In Charleston Anymore is now available on iTunes US and iTunes UK.  The CD / other digital download is released on September 21 in the UK (Amazon CD and mp3) and September 29 in the US.

Juliana's 'honor system' download project is shortly to come offline.  Grab the songs and donate before they go.

Juliana has contributed We're Not In Charleston Anymore to a tribute album -Ciao My Shining Star - The Songs of Mark Mulcahy.   Mulcahy was the frontman for Miracle Legion and Polaris. He continues to write songs, and raise two daughters following the death of his wife last year.  Proceeds from the album (due on 29 September) will go directly to him.  More info and the tracklisting (featuring Dinosaur Jr, Thom Yorke and Michael Stipe) at Icon vs Icon.

Prepare Paypal posture and head for Juliana's download page for yet more new songs - The Idea Of Me, That's What You Get For Loving Me and Broken Record,  the latter available in two instrumental flavours - avec drum/bass and sans drums.

Juliana's session for Daytrotter is finally available.  The set was recorded last year and features, oh yes ladies and gentlemen, a new song - Butterflies together with versions of Law Of Nature, So Alone, and a cover of It's Only Rock n Roll (But I Like It).

Listen or download the mp3s and read Juliana's comments on each song in the article at daytrotter.com

Another month, another batch of mp3 downloads available on Juliana's official site: Accidents, It's Not The End Of The World, You Don't Know Who You Are, I Am Here (with drums) and I Am Here (without drums). Download, donate and devour.

3 new 'honor system' songs are now available for download at julianahatfield.com: Bringing You Down Again, Something In Her Eyes and There's Always Another Girl (for Lindsay Lohan). Prolific is the word.

Juliana's tweets from April 17th: "all lindsay lohan needs is one great role and someone to give her a chance at it....and maybe she needs to get out of hollywood and hang out with some real people."

Now we have a new Juliana song recorded today - There's Always Another Girl (for Lindsay Lohan).

Listen to it at Juliana's Myspace.
