I only met Mark Mulcahy once. It was on the night that Mark and Ken played the North Star with The Mountain Goats who were on tour with Bowerbirds. This is the first night that I was lucky enough to have met my friend Ken Maiuri (an amazing musician and person, bar none , as they say). This was also the night that I received the most amazing hug in the World from John Darnielle, who come to think of it: should go down in history as a man with a Gift of Hug. It was a magical night.

May of 1995 was the end of my sophomore year of high school, and while I studied for Mr. Pimentel's science final or Señora Navarro's Spanish class, somewhere not too far up the highway Jeff Buckley was tuning up his acoustic guitar for a solo midday set on the college campus of UC Berkeley. Jeff had been touring in support of Grace for nearly a year, currently with Juliana Hatfield, and was preparing to leave for Scotland in a few weeks. According to David Browne's excellent Dream [...]

Peace And Love, Juliana Hatfield's latest album, will be released on February 16, 2010 on Ye Olde Records. Hatfield, of course, has a long history of DIY endeavors - from her trailblazing days with Boston indie band the Blake Babies to her recent releases on Ye Olde Records, the label ...
As the press release that arrived at the ol' CoS inbox the other evening explains, following the release of her 2008 effort How To Walk Away , Juliana Hatfield purchased her brother's eight-track digital recorder and moved into a Cambridge apartment with a back room that had excellent natural acoustics. So, naturally, "the time was right to begin work on her 11th full-length effort, as the former Blake Babies bassist explains, "I was able to follow every instinct without worrying that anyone was going to think it was a kooky idea," she recalls. "I just wanted to [...]
Want a free Aimee Mann mp3? Of course you do. Visit her digital store to download "The Engine Driver," backed by members of the Decemberists. (Or download it below.) Given that it is a store, for-purchase tunes are also available; all of them are in mp3 or lossless FLAC formats, with a lower-quality mp3 available [...]
Something to look forward to in 2010: Juliana Hatfield is promising a new record for February. It's been recorded in an apartment on an eight-track, which means both that it's stripped down and laid bare, and - more importantly - it'll be into profit from about the sixth download. The record is called Peace And Love, and, in case you're interested, this is the tracklisting: 1. Peace and Love 2. The End Of The War 3. Why Can't We Love Each Other 4. Butterflies 5. [...]

JULIANA HATFIELD'S PEACE AND LOVE SET FOR FEBRUARY 16th RELEASE Peace And Love, Juliana Hatfield's latest album, will be released on February 16, 2010 on Ye Olde Records. Hatfield, of course, has a long history of DIY endeavors - from her trailblazing days with Boston indie band the Blake Babies to her recent releases on Ye Olde Records, the label she founded in 2005 - but with Peace And Love she reaches a new level of independence. She produced and engineered the album herself and played all the instruments, including acoustic and electric guitars, piano, harmonica and drum [...]
We were surprised to learn that JULIANA HATFIELD has completed a new album called Peace and Love, which she produced, performed and recorded entirely on her own on an eight-track in her... Support indie media! Read the rest at thephoenix.com . . .
This weekend, my wife's brother got married: a wedding a long time coming, and as such, planned to the last detail. His blushing bride wore vintage lace in cream and brown, as befit the season and their shared love of the natural world, and for moment there, time stopped, like it should, when he in his best grey suit turned to watch her come up our impromptu aisle, her flower-girls tight against her, unsure of the attention. The minister was lighthearted and blessedly brief, the speeches fine and poignant, and throughout it all, [...]
It's, like, three songs from the My So-Called Life album. Or whatever. *sigh* It's only the best angsty teen drama series ever (in my angsty perpetual teenager opinion)! Daniel Johnston - Come See Me Tonight mp3 Frente - The Book Song mp3 Juliana Hatfield - Make It Home mp3 Now that's what I call music. By the way, if you think Make It Home sounds suspiciously like Silent Night (which [...]
I was just rummaging through my collection to find something to blog about and came across a song I really liked from 1993. You remember 1993 don't you? C'mon, it was only 16 years ago now. It was the year of brilliant songs like The Breeders' Cannonball, The London Suede's Animal Nitrate, Beck's Loser, New Order's Regret, Nirvana's Heart Shaped Box, Pearl Jam's Daughter, Smashing Pumpkins' Cherub Rock, Belly's Feed The Tree, Mazzy Star's Fade Into You, Liz Phair's Fuck and Run, Urge Overkill's Positive Bleeding, Juliana Hatfield's My Sister, Elastica's Stutter, Soul Asylum's Black Gold, Bjork's Human Behaviour, James' [...]
Julgo que a questão que muitos colocarão logo à partida será algo como "Quem é Marc Mulcahy ?". Confesso que até ter decidido escrever sobre o assunto, não sabia absolutamente nada sobre a pessoa. Marc Mulcahy foi elemento de bandas relativamente desconhecidas do público em geral como os Miracle Religion ou, mais tarde, os Polaris . Após o fim das bandas, encetou uma carreira a solo, centrada especialmente na área de Nova Iorque. Alguns dos momentos mais altos da carreira a solo de Mulcahy tiveram lugar quando este abriu [...]
Thinking about Paul Simon made me think about Edie Brickell (whom he married in 1992 and has three kids with). I got so so into this album ( Shooting Rubber Bands at the Stars ) sometime in high school. I think I can actually remember rocking out to it on my discman. The whole thing is oozing with late-80s/early-90s cheese and sincerity, but of course you couldn't help but fall in a dated kind of love that's still nice to return to periodically (like all your favorite episodes of My So-Called Life , especially that one featuring [...]
Friday Five : \ˈfrī-(ˌ)dā,-dē ˈfīv\ : On the sixth day of every week I hit the shuffle button on my iTunes and share my five and drop a little knowledge and insight for each track. Sometimes there is a playlist involved, sometimes there isn't. Sometimes we have guest, but most of the time it's just me. The rest is up to you, our friends and readers! Fire up your media player of choice and share the first five random track of your shuffle in the comments. The Five : The [...]
If you know Andy Chase, it's probably as a producer who's worked with the likes of the Smashing Pumpkins, Fountains of Wayne, Juliana Hatfield, Tahiti 80 and the Trashcan Sinatras, or as a member (with his wife, singer Dominique Durand) of the band Ivy . But Chase also fronts the side project Brookville , a vehicle for his unfailingly melodic guitar pop. Brookville's third album and best yet, "Broken Lights," is out next week; it'll take you to that pop place. Above, the video for "Great Mistake." ||| Live: Brookville opens for the [...]
So this week we take on everyone's favorite 1994 true life Gen X defining romantic comedy - Reality Bites. This soundtrack is full of angst and life on your own sort of songs. This movie is what gave us Lisa Leob. The song stay is still I think one of the greatest songs to be on a soundtrack! These songs bring back great memories. Makes me want to take my credit cards to a gas station and get a bunch of cash. Also i will always remember PFLAG and how amazing that scene was. Maybe the greatest anagram ever. So [...]
