New Juliana Hatfield Video - "This Lonely Love"

thumbnail icon: New Juliana Hatfield Video - "This Lonely Love"

After watching her scowl on album covers and mumble through interviews for the past twenty years, you'd be forgiven for thinking Juliana Hatfield is so profoundly sad (Mad Men reference, you guys). But I've been reading her online diary, and have learned that she's a regular gal who loves baseball and hates Heidi Montag and doesn't particularly enjoy the company of humans. Okay, that part is indeed sad, but she has music to keep her company. That's the gist of this new single and the low budg clip for it. PFur Richard Butler shares vocals on the chorus, but Juliana flies solo in the video, bopping around Cambridge to her Discman/Walkman/iPod/boombox.

How To Walk Away (also featuring sad/terrific "So Alone" and "My Baby...") is available on iTunes now. Her memoir, When I Grow Up, is out 9/22. Season 4 of the The Hills premieres Monday.

I love this woman. She has so many great, under-appreciated albums. Can't wait to hear this new one.

That was actually very nice beautiful use of lo-fi equipment. I don't hate the song I'm just indifferent.

Was that really the kid's pickup line? "Profoundly sad"? And he used it twice? Don Draper should pull him by the hair and grab up his skirt. Whatever happened to the neighborhood floozy with the freaky voyeur kid?

At first I thought you guys had put up a video for "It Should Have Been You." Because this song sounds exactly like it. :/

For someone w/ lots of albums, she doesn't have that many music videos. This is the first in like 8 years?

But she *was* in an episode of My So-Called Life, so that makes up for it.

I'm confused why does this song have the exact same riff from "It Should Have Been You".

Is she giving you head for all this coverage, Lapatine? This is like the 4th or 5th item I've seen on her this year. Jesus!

I want to insert my genitalia into Juliana Hatfield's pubic mound.

I believe the beach at the end is in Duxbury, MA.

Just sayin'...
