Flashback Friday: Juliana Hatfield

Today’s Flashback Friday is “My Sister” by Juliana Hatfield, off the 1993 album Become What You Are. Juliana is somewhat known as the Princess of Alternative music, appearing at several indie concerts and MTV’s 120 Minutes and Alternative Nation. She was widely known in the independent and underground music scene in its time, and was featured on the Reality Bites soundtrack with her other popular tune “Spin The Bottle.”

I’m mildly familiar with her music, but only because of the many nights watching her videos on MTV as a teenager. This particular track was one of her most popular and received the most airplay, mostly because of the first line “I love my sister, she’s such a bitch” which plays against the poppy happy tone of the track. The video, while not all that spectacular, reminds me of the format of many similar bands in the genre.

Enjoy!
