Local H: The LIFERS Podcast - Episode 54 - Juliana Hatfield 2: The Quickening

Local H, on Juliana’s return to their LIFERS podcast:

Second chances are rare, man. And you ought to take advantage of them. On the one year anniversary of our first episode(s), we get a second chance with our first guest — Juliana Hatfield. On this episode we try to truly nail down what makes Juliana the quintessential LIFER. It’s also just an opportunity to catch up and hang out. We tried really hard not to mess it up this time. Topics include: ELO, the crippling nature of being your own point AND counterpoint, Scott finally watches “Wolf Like Me”, sharing plumbers with Damon from Galaxie 500, colonoscopies, acting on “My So-Called Life”, Dinosaur Jr., Scott’s Evan Dando story, “Breaking Away”, and Ben wins the game of “Iron Maiden vs. The Replacements” once and for all. So let it be written — so let it be done.

As with Juliana’s appearance last year, this is highly recommended.

Among plenty of other discussion Juliana confirms that work has begun on a new album.

Put on the spot about songs from her career she’s most proud of, Juliana picks a couple you probably won’t be able to guess!

Dirt from the Road Podcast - Juliana Hatfield

Another podcast interview! From the Dirt from the Road description::

Juliana Hatfield (ex-The Lemonheads) and Brett Newski discuss splendid isolation, reincarnation, why death won't be bad at all, and being an introvert in an extroverted world.

I’m curious as to how this podcast came about given that Brett admits to only having a limited familiarity with Juliana’s career. Thankfully though it’s a good chat because he doesn’t blag it and the only hint of interviewer’s cursory Wikipedia research that shows this up is the “ex- The Lemonheads” bit in the description.

It’s available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, and elsewhere.

Separately, the written word survives the podcast era with Juliana interviewed by Tatum Jenkins for WERS:

(WERS): WE HAVE A BIG EMPHASIS ON COMMUNITY AND STAYING LOCAL HERE AT WERS. DO YOU FEEL THAT BOSTON HAS HAD ANY SORT OF IMPACT ON YOUR ART AND HOW YOU DRAW INSPIRATION FROM YOUR ENVIRONMENT?

JH: Well, I really like the changing of the seasons. I find it invigorates me, the cold and autumn, and the seasons can really influence my writing. I mean, I wrote a whole song about the heat wave a couple years ago, but it was all about suffering through one of our horrible, humid heat waves. Also, I like that artists in Boston are all about the work and not about networking. It’s not about desperately striving for fame. Everyone is low key and they just want to put their heads down and do the work. It’s not about hype, and I really like that.

She Rocks Podcast - Episode 53 - Juliana Hatfield

Another week, another JH podcast interview! From She Rocks Podcast’s episode description:

When COVID hit musician and singer/songwriter Juliana Hatfield took it upon herself to learn the recording process. She wrote and recorded most of her upcoming album, 'Blood,' as she learned. Her sing-songy melodic style hides stinger lyrics that delve deep into touchpoint issues. 'Blood' is Hatfield's 19th solo album and is due out May 14, 2021. Based in the Boston area, Hatfield is formerly of the indie rock bands Blake Babies, Some Girls, and The Lemonheads. She also fronted her own band, The Juliana Hatfield Three, along with bassist Dean Fisher and drummer Todd Philips, which was active in the mid-1990s and again in the mid-2010s. Here we sit down to hear much more about the creative process and her outlook today.

Podcast Interview - Queen Of Shit Mountain - Juliana Hatfield Part 1

Queen of Shit Mountain aka Queen of S-Mountain (“a music podcast hosted by LG, the front-woman for the greatest, all-female, queer, southern rock band of all time, Thelma and the Sleaze”):

Juliana Hatfield is a legendary musician of the bands Blake Babies, The Lemonheads, and The Juliana Hatfield Three, and more. Her career was born out of a music scene she helped to shape in the 80s and 90s with fellow trailblazers like The Pixies and Dinosaur Jr. In part one of this episode, LG chats with Juliana about her trajectory, the rock music scene of that era, and her songwriting/recording process.

This is another great podcast where a fellow musician interviews Juliana. Looking forward to part 2 already.

Become What You Are - Podcast Review

Juliana's 1993 album Become What You Are is the subject of this week's episode of Dig Me Out - a "weekly podcast dedicated to reviewing the lost and forgotten rock of the 90's".

You can listen or download at Dig Me Out or via iTunes.

The album is critiqued from the points of view of a listener revisiting after many years and of someone hearing much of it for the first time.

The first 15 minutes is little more than a Juliana biography so you can safely skip to the remaining half hour unless man reads wikipedia is your thing.
