...MTV "Rock the Vote" push to "Vote because it's cool" doesn't work either. Not only is it patronizing and superficial, it's just not true. The gang on "Friends" and the hipsters in music videos rarely hang out at polling places...
There used to be a time when you couldn't turn on MTV without seeing Juliana Hatfield's face. Whether it was Beavis and Butthead commenting on her masochistic video for "What A Life," her 1993 "buzz track" for the scathing "My Sister" or her turn as a homeless angel on everybody's favorite teen-angst drama My So-Called Life, Juliana was a pervasive presence on the airwaves. Add in hot rumors about her relationship with cuter-than-thou Lemonhead Evan Dando and also her supposed virginity, and Juliana was prime Kurt Loder fodder...

However, that doesn't mean her music has lost any of its gusto, as shown by her performance at The Middle East Saturday night...
