Video - MTV Week In Rock Interview from 1995

This clip has recently appeared on YouTube and is probably new for many of us.

Your new video is set in a gym, so that’s where we’ll interview you is a 90s MTV vibe.

Important content to watch for: “Someone recently described my singing as bird-like…”

This is one of a few vintage clips that have appeared online of late, including this quirky Blender interview from the same era and a lip-synced JH3 performance of Spin The Bottle from UK show The Beat.

Thanks to Carlos for keeping an eye on YouTube for these links.

Update, January 2021: it seems the video has now been removed (as planned)

I'm sure most visitors to this site saw this over the weekend, but here's the full livestream of Juliana performing Become What You Are as broadcast on December 19, 2020 from Q Division Studios.

A memorable performance (twice!) and a huge success.

For Juliana's director's cut version, start at 1:00:30, then after she finishes I Got No Idols at 1:39:57 skip back to 49:13 for a two song seasonal encore, then return to 1:39:57 for the chat 😛 It's worth noting that the video is not intended to be kept available on YouTube in perpetuity and Q Division may remove it in the next few days. For now though don't forget this was a pay what you want show so visit Juliana's PayPal to donate. The link is in the video description on Q Division's YouTube.
Video - KEXP Session, 2020

KEXP have now posted video from Juliana’s live session recorded at their studios in Seattle on January 31, 2020 during her winter tour. Remember tours? :(

Juliana and the band are on top form here and they sound outstanding. They play Hole In My Life, an awesome version of Lost Ship, Juliana then chats to DJ Cheryl Waters, and they finish with Everything’s For Sale and Wonder Why.

It’s also worth revisiting Renata Steiner’s excellent official photo set from that day.

These KEXP sessions are always SO good. A reminder of Juliana’s last couple of visits:

The Juliana Hatfield Three, 2015
Minor Alps, 2013

Video - Undiscovered Planet - A Short Film by David Doobinin (with Juliana Hatfield)

A new short film by David Doobinin as published via American Laundromat Records' YouTube channel today, with the following quotes:

"David (Doobinin) shot and directed the two videos from my Olivia Newton-John album and he has photographed me, too, and I've really liked working with him. There is a casualness to his style that puts me at ease--he doesn't push too hard. And I like the results. He manages to capture something real about who I am and how I see myself, and not many photographers/vidoegraphers are able to do that. I was talking to David about maybe working with me on a larger project like perhaps documenting the making of my next album. As of now we've had trouble scheduling that but we did have time to sort of get our feet wet and shoot some everyday documentary footage in and around my home, which we thought made an interesting little short film." - Juliana Hatfield

“What always struck me about Juliana the previous times we worked together is her physicality. The way she moves through each moment. It’s an unselfconscious dance that teeters between a stumbling Chevy Chase and a Runway Model. She has this fearlessness in her music and the way she lives her life. I wanted to try and capture some of that.” - David Doobinin

Video - All Right, Yeah

The second video from Weird is animated, colorized, and directed by Jed Davis.

Juliana, speaking to Consequence of Sound, where the video premiered today:

The repeated “All Right, Yeah” in the choruses was my attempt to write a big, dumb hook that people could sing along to at hockey games or football games or other sports events. I was thinking of Blur’s “Song 2” and its “Woo Hoo!” choruses. I want to be the song that comes on in the stadium after a big goal, or touchdown, or whatever. I also had an alternate image of drunken pals with their arms around each others’ shoulders, jumping up and down and yelling “All Right, Yeah!” all together as a group, at some celebratory gathering like a wedding reception or graduation party. I wanted this song to work in these kinds of contexts. I don’t know if I succeeded. Probably not. My dreams for my songs are often at odds with the world outside of my head.
