The prompt is #Nowhere
Juliana Hatfield, “The Edge of Nowhere” from “Please Do Not Disturb” 1997
I'm back stumping for local girl and prolific talent #JulianaHatfield. She seemingly can’t write anything that isn’t catchy, but even so, never sounds hackneyed; and everything she performs sounds cool as a 70° F breeze chasing away a 100°+ summer day.
Please Do Not Disturb was issued as an #EP, and its songs were also included on Japanese versions of her 1998 full length release “Bed” in her catalogue as deep and long as a #SomervilleMA road-digging project.
In recent years she’s hopped onto the #vinyl color-variant bandwagon (and gotten me with FOMO more than once😳) and I’m not a fan of her recent string of covers albums, but I suspect all this helped keep her afloat during and post-COVID lockdown and is helping finance her ability to keep putting out original work, so good on ya, Juliana!
