Juliana's 2011 album There's Always Another Girl is available again on CD at julianahatfield.com.

...and that is when I introduced myself, “Hi, I’m Mary.” She surprisingly replied “You’re Mary Sparks Haddon from South Carolina” and we made small talk. I figured she remembered me from Twitter or Pledge Music.

Juliana fan Mary Haddon has written a heartwarming account of her 'trip of a lifetime' to Boston last week at:

Andrew Youssef:

Her shimmering, early acoustic set featured a gorgeous cover of “Fruit Fly” from Nada Surf, a crystalline take on Foo Fighters’ “Learn To Fly,” as well as the some classics from her catalog like “My Sister,” “Nirvana,” and new songs like “Candy Wrappers.”

There's more on the Q Division studio shows last night, together with a gallery of 25 photos at Stereogum.

Two of David Young's great photos from yesterday's shows.

Juliana, via her official site:

Hello! I am releasing a handful of tickets to my private solo acoustic show coming up (really soon)(Wednesday) on June 27th at Q Division studios in Somerville, MA, for (local-area?) people who aren’t doing the Pledge Music thing but who might still want to see the show. The doors will open at 5:30 p.m. and the ticket price includes beer and snacks and casual/intimate social atmosphere — I will be there all evening, before and after the show. Click here to order tickets. After purchase, names will be added to the guest list at the door in lieu of paper tickets.

really liking alpinisms by school of seven bells that my friend turned me onto the other day

— Juliana Hatfield (@julianahatfield) May 24, 2012

Alpinisms is the 2008 debut album from School Of Seven Bells.

The band are heavily played on the liveontomorrow.co.uk stereo and their two subsequent albums - 2010's Disconnect From Desire and this year's Ghostory come highly recommended.

Good to know Jules is now a fan.

Two upcoming shows on the same day - acoustic and full band, both at Q Division Studios in Somerville, MA on Wednesday, June 27 2012.

In her announcement at PledgeMusic, Juliana says while there is the possibility of further shows this year, these could be the only performances in support of the covers album. Her discomfort with playing live has been well documented for many years, and you'll recall there was only one full band show for the previous album.

Billed as 'private shows', tickets (priced at $50 each) go on sale to pledgers at PledgeMusic tomorrow (19 May 2012) at 10am EST.

If you can't make it, you may be able to hear it later:

@VoodooHipster @PledgeMusic will record shows but gotta have time to mix it to my liking for possible release later on

— Juliana Hatfield (@julianahatfield) May 18, 2012

Who will you be covering and was it hard to narrow down the songs?

A funny thing is that a bunch of the songs are from about 10 years ago. I don’t know what it is about that period of time, but I keep going there. One example is the song “Fruit Fly” by Nada Surf, a band I like a lot. And I was lucky to have Matthew Caws (the singer from Nada Surf) sing on a few of the songs on the album. He did not sing on his song, “Fruit Fly,” though.

You can read a short Q&A with Juliana on PledgeMusic's blog.

Some Some Girls news:

Heidi Gluck is currently touring the US with Joel Henderson, both as opening act and playing in Joel's band.

thanks to Carlos for the info.

PledgeMusic update for non-pledgies:

In recent days Juliana has posted video of acoustic performances of Blur's Coffee + TV, her own On Your Mind, and a duet with Joe Keefe on Neil Young's Barstool Blues.

You may recall that Juliana recorded the Young song acoustically in 2011, releasing it to pledgers during her previous project.

Lo-fi, homemade video for "Juliana Hatfield" by Picturebox. This song is about the thrill of hearing something great on the radio for the first time, then trying to find out who it's by and get hold of it in the pre-Internet days.

@pictureboxsongs:

It's Record Store Day, and this here video is about buying music in a record store. How about that?

Picturebox's rather lovely Juliana Hatfield song, now with added video.

It was filmed in the English city of Canterbury by the songwriter Rob Halcrow, a reader of this site. Excellent stuff. Bonus points for featuring Peanuts characters.

A reminder that you can download the song at bandcamp.
