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.
Yes, a year after surprising her fans by launching a blog at An Arm and a Leg, Juliana is now a microblogger, or if you like a tweeter. Real time updates for the new media world started today with "The conductor on the train to D.C. told me that he owned 88 guitars."
"As I drove, I thought, “Why am I comfortable only when I’m en-route? Why is it only in the opening between a starting point and a destination that I am at ease? It never fails: My restlessness and fear and longing fly out the window as soon as I hit the gas. I literally leave my troubles behind.”
'8/6 Cambridge to Cleveland' - a new unpublished chapter from When I Grow Up - A Memoir is now online at julianahatfield.com
UPDATE - since the removal of Juliana's blogs the unpublished chapters have become, well, unpublished. For now at least though they are on the blog pages at Juliana's MySpace site.
“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.”

“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.”
