Mikey Welsh, former Weezer bassist, has died, according to a post on his Facebook wall : We are deeply saddened to announce that Mikey Welsh passed away unexpectedly today. He will forever be remembered as an amazing father, artist, and friend. May he rest in peace. Born in New York in 1971, it was in Boston that Welsh thrived as a musician. He was a spine to a number of Boston scene acts, gaining the experience which would see him join first Juliana Hatfield's touring band, and then The Rivers Cuomo Band. When Matt Sharp [...]
Some artists who've paid their dues over the years, get to record mediocre albums. And that would be the case for Bostonite Juliana Hatfield. Released on her own label, Ye Olde Records, Hatfield manages to keep her early 902s sound intact, using occasional distortion and easy drum beats to enhance her slightly monotone vocals. For instance, singing about candy wrappers on the same-titled track, gets a little old after the first chorus. She even brings it back 6 tracks later on "And Again" and you're left wondering "what happend Juliana?" For a seasoned musician, Hatfield's lyrics could use a little boost. [...]
At its outset, Juliana Hatfield's "There's Always Another Girl" sounds exactly how you might expect. It opens with a female, solo voice and an acoustic guitar pretty much completing the image of singer/songwriter her name evokes. The lyrics are brimming with a lazy angst, and halfway through she tops the track with an easy little piano melody. At best, people will be grateful that the album is delivering exactly what they imagine. Getting what you pay for feels good – at least that's the reason people go to Chipotle. Then suddenly, like a flower unfurling in a high [...]
Acoustic guitars, piano, a steady tempo, and vocals reminiscent of Sheryl Crow and Jewel, these combined come close to Juliana Hatfield's sound on the newly released LP There's Always Another Girl . The album is a rather large collection of loose tracks, fourteen in total. Loose in that no single song seems to hit that "larger than life" status, and the arresting feeling of 'failure', seeps through the country-esque sound. In many ways this album is Hatfield's true reflection in the business, and in other words, fans got what Hatfield put into the production. The construction for [...]

Since indie-pop icon Juliana Hatfield is not in the habit of releasing the same album twice, it's only natural she'd follow up her weakest album with what may prove to be her very best. Sometimes it's impossible to figure out exactly how Juliana Hatfield wants us to feel about her. Are we supposed to celebrate her as an artist who kept her head above water by striking out as an independent when her star began to fade at the end of the '90s? Or do we show her sympathy for the very same reason? Like many of her Alternative [...]
![MALE BONDING, CSS, THE RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS [WEEK'S TOP RELEASES]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3686655_lg.jpg)
Each week, we'll be giving you a list of the new releases that we're most stoked to hear. From the pop of Juliana Hatfield to the Red Hot Chili Peppers sound without John Frusciante, this round should certainly be filled with a few surprises. Enjoy! The second full-length from Londoners Male Bonding comes rather quickly after their debut just last year, but Endless Now promises even more rushing guitars than its predecessor Nothing Hurts . It also includes the incomparable Frankie [...]

Looking at the scheduled new music this week, you may want to take note of: Beirut- Review Glen Campbell CSS Mike Doughty Juliana Hatfield- Review Tommy Keane Lenny Kravitz Male Bonding The Nightwatchman- MP3 PS I Love You Red Hot Chili Peppers Tommy Stinson Tasseomancy- Review Butch Walker- MP3 Whitehorse- Review
With the east coast still recovering from Hurrican Irene, it's a little hard to focus on new releases this week, but let's give it a try. Mike Doughty 's Yes and Also Yes (pictured) is our personal fave for the week. The ex- Soul Coughing frontman has made a fairly successful solo career, and this album is his latest. Speaking of solo careers, Butch Walker has got a new album out this week, and so does Tom Morello . And to relive the 90s, get ready for new records from Red Hot [...]
In her nearly quarter-century in the music business, Juliana Hatfield has experienced the ups and downs of the popular music industry firsthand. Despite the changing times, she has clung firmly to her fundamentals. Her sound is as moored in the 1990s now as it was when she was soundtracking a Wynona Ryder movie or performing with The Lemonheads. Personal fondness for the era will tilt the appeal of her 11th studio album, There's Always Another Girl , one way or the other. Her candied, subdued singing voice hasn't aged a bit, and songs such as "Don't Wanna [...]

Icono del pop-rock alternativo de los 90, Juliana Hatfield vivió sus años de mayor éxito y popularidad durante aquella década, sin embargo su madurez creativa parece haberle llegado en estos últimos años, en los que está firmando quizás las mejores canciones de su extensa carrera. Un ejemplo es esta excelente "Stray Kids" , adelanto del que será su decimo trabajo en solitario, "There's Always Another Girl", disco cuya temática gira en torno al concepto del fracaso, pero que ha sido posible gracias, una vez más, al éxito de un proyecto creado [...]
The innocent voice may be a little raspier with age, and the heart may be a little more ragged and roughed up by experience, but the soul of Juliana Hatfield remains strong on her new album There's Always Another Girl. Hatfield was able to produce this record with fan donations made through a PledgeMusic campaign. Hatfield seems less confined on this record. She definitely adds some moments and
Hi, Everyone! I'm finally back from the dissertation-/conference-/baco n-hangover-induced departure from blogging, and I've decided to catch up old-school. So, in the spirit of the blog's past, here's a quick round-up of some of the things we missed while I was away. Come on in to see and hear Wye Oak, Telekinesis, St. Vincent, and more! While I was away, M83 announced their new double album Hurry Up, We're Dreaming (out Oct. 18th), and released the first track "Midnight City:" Midnight City by [...]
Snippets about Juliana Hatfield's new album have been trickling out for a few months now. At long last we know pretty much everything there is, so it's time to bring you up to date. Hatfield's new record is called There's Always Another Girl and is slated for an August 30th release. The recording was funded through fan contributions at PledgeMusic. Stereogum has the premiere of the first
Next month alt-rock icon Juliana Hatfield follows up last year's Peace & Love with There's Always Another Girl (a title that might sound familiar to Hatfield completists). While it's an album "based on the concept of failure," it exists thanks to the success of a campaign to get fans to fully fund the LP. Via Pledge Music Juliana offered artwork, demos, and even a guitar used on the album in exchange for donations to meet production costs. Here's what the singer/songwriter/ op-ed columnist had to say about the process: [...]
