Juliana Hatfield, aka The Covers Album is now on general release.
The album is available on cd from julianahatfield.com and digitally at iTunes and Spotify with other digital services expected to follow.
Juliana:
Painting requires more concentration and more time. It’s quieter, obviously, and more solitary. Painting hurts my brain in a way that music theory does—I’m forced to think about what I’m trying to do, and why, and how. Physically, they feel different, too— playing music can be a cathartic release whereas when I’m painting, I’m usually in a state of heightened anxiety the whole time.
Juliana has shared three of her paintings in an article at Paste which also features the work of 22 other musicians.
Juliana has announced that she will be closing the PledgeMusic project for the covers album tomorrow (Friday 31 August 2012).
There's a handful of artwork and posters still available so if you want them you'd better be quick.
Q: “I Got No Idols.” What’s the story behind it? The first verse seems to respond to the media-hyped virginity brouhaha you found yourself in after the Interview interview (“you may think we all need that stuff/but I don’t think about it much”) while the second verse tackles false gods as well as how some ardent fans may perceive you (“but I’m a liar, that’s the truth/go home and think it through”).
JH: It was existential. (Become What You Are, the album title, was taken from Nietzsche, you know). I think I was trying to be tough, or to appear tough, to mask my fragility/weakness by claiming to not need anyone, and to not be impressed by anyone, but then acknowledging/admitting my weakness and fragility (“when I do I have to leave the room/I’m scared of what i might do”—i might get weak in the knees, I might fall in love). I am trying to convince myself while trying to convince the listener that I am a lone wolf. But not really believing it 100%, even as I am saying it. I don’t remember the specifics of what was going through my head. I think I was thinking of Sonic Youth and “Kill Yr. Idols,” on one level trying/wanting to be ‘cool’ like them. I think you are right about the second verse. I wasn’t comfortable in the role of rock or pop star or objectifiable object and I thought it was all really stupid in a way and I never was any good at it because I could never believe the hype.
Read another of Juliana's PledgeMusic Q&As at The Old Grey Cat.

@phizlair so glad you don't hate it! thanks!
For those of you with Spotify, here are the songs from Juliana's new Juliana Hatfield album aka The Covers Album, by all the original artists*:
*apart from Led Zepagain. Also, 'Ready For Love' was originally a Mott The Hoople song, but Juliana has referenced the subsequent Bad Company version.
This was created for Spotify in the UK but hopefully most if not all songs are licensed in other regions.
In varying quality, here are the original artists performing the songs which make up Juliana's new eponymous covers album:
Teenage Fanclub - Cells
Uploaded by MrAlstec on 2009-10-15.
Foo Fighters - Learn To Fly
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Bad Moon Rising
Hand-made video clip. The early 90's here in Finland. This has become a CCR television TV program. I had a video editor and a vinyl record. The music is a little accelerated, therefore when at that time I did not have a digital video editor, which would have allowed a video of slowing down, You know.
Bad Company - Ready For Love (original by Mott The Hoople)
Bad Company Concert 2002
I Blame Coco - Selfmachine
Nada Surf - Fruit Fly
fruit fly nada surf high quality
Pete Yorn - Closet
Pete Yorn performing song off his 2001 breakthrough musicforthemorningafter at SPIN office. Lyrics: Oh Billie I want you so, I'm trying to meet you. Too many things they don't know, too many repeatings, of beatings, and I'm walking around your closet, I want you to say my name again.
Electric Light Orchestra - Sweet Is The Night
Track "Sweet is the Night" taken from ELO's classic album "Out of The Blue" (1977)
Ryan Adams - Do I Wait
Liz Phair - Friend Of Mine
Liz Phair live at the El Rey on Friday October 8, 2010 in Los Angeles, CA.
The Who - My Wife
7th song in the Las Vegas Reunion set.
Led Zeppelin - Rock And Roll
This tour took place shortly after the release of Led Zeppelin's fifth album, Houses of the Holy, which topped the charts. Prior to its commencement, Led Zeppelin's manager Peter Grant also hired PR consultant Danny Goldberg to further promote the tour, and booked a number of large stadium venues.
Here we go.
Juliana's new album of covers - the oddly titled Juliana Hatfield, is now available as a download for PledgeMusic subscribers ahead of the global release, which remains scheduled for August 28, 2012.
This site hasn't published the artwork, title and track list before now because Juliana has wanted, in her olde worldy ye olde records style, to keep it a secret.
Although some of the arrangements will come as a surprise the chosen songs are pretty much in line with what she has posted to PledgeMusic / Twitter and the live shows in June.
*omitted from the vinyl version.
What are you waiting for? Allez. Avante. Now.
Juliana:
I will say that from the last album [There’s Always Another Girl] I am really proud of the song “Wasting Time”. I think it might be the saddest song I’ve ever written but it’s so pretty and so grown-up. It’s subtle and toward the end of the album so I think it was overlooked by lot of people.
As part of Juliana's current PledgeMusic drive she has again offered the opportunity to ask her 20 questions via email.
With thanks once more to N'Awlins Contrarian (and Juliana) for sharing, you can read a set of her responses here:

If you missed last year's Q&A between the same parties, you can view that pdf here.
People discussing "The Internets" will never get old.
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:
