It wasn't until 1992 that their red leader, Juliana Hatfield, began getting recognition as a songwriter in more mainstream publications, simply that was after the mathematical group was broken up. Over their four albums, Hatfield's songwriting and thin, girlish tattle improved drastically as the band's post-R.E.M. substitute pop grew more hefty, branching out into both punkier and folkier territories on each record record book. By the time of their last full-length album, 1990's Tan, guitarist John Strohm was emerging as an impressive songwriter in his possess right. After a last EP in 1991, the band rent, with Hatfield emerging as an alternative whizz and Strohm and drummer Freda Love forming the acclaimed guitar pop band Antenna. In 2000 the Blake Babies came out of a ten-year retirement to criminal record a new album, Deity Bless the Blake Babies. The album was released March 6, 2001, on Rounder Records. Drummer Freda Love conceived the rejoinder, talk the other deuce original members into a reunion. She was rewarded with having her first Blake Babies piece "Nix Ever Happens" be the first single. Older and better musicians, this version of the band sacrifices the charm of the amateur indie pop for a smarter, crafted sound that works as a natural advance of the stria. The side projects and solo careers shaped the individual members into inured veterans of the euphony industry, and their experiences give their new material a profoundness that their earlier work lacked. Spring of 2001 saw the band attain the road playing old haunts like Chapel Hill, NC's Cat's Cradle and novel versions of the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C., and the Knitting Factory in New York City to receptive audiences. John Strohm called it the best the Blake Babies ever sounded. |

Madonna - Madonna Scraps Documentary Screening At Glastonbury
MADONNA has scrapped plans for the U.K. premiere of her documentary I AM BECAUSE WE ARE to be held at an English music festival, after tickets for the event failed to sell.
The Holiday hitmaker was reportedly planning to screen her latest documentary, which focuses on the plight of Malawian children, at Britain's Glastonbury festival later this month (Jun08).
However, the event has struggled to shift tickets, with rapper Shawn 'Jay-Z' Carter's headlining slot at the event being blamed for a decrease in demand, as the festival usually focuses on a rock-orientated line-up.
According to the Britain's Mail On Sunday newspaper, the Queen of Pop wanted to follow the screening with a possible question and answer session with festivalgoers, but has been put off by the lack of interest in this year's (08) event.
A source tells the publication, "Madonna hoped the film could be shown on the Saturday (28Jun08) and there was talk of a question and answer session.
"But poor ticket sales for the festival put her off. After talks with the organisers it was decided the festival was not the right venue to showcase the film."
