Sure, we usually reserve the 50 State Strategy for up-and-comers, but even umpteen albums into a twenty year career, Boston's Juliana Hatfield always sounds like she's got a score to settle and a lot to prove. I can think of few artists who hit such creative strides after their peaks in popularity, and none at all who have managed to make that a compelling thing to sing about. There are only a handful of great albums that came out this decade by 90's alternative rock denizens, and she's made at least four of them.

2008's Crushing Love (from which this track was taken) is a kiss-and-make-up after 2005's angry, introspective and spontaneous blast of frustration Made in China, a pattern Hatfield usually exhibits in some way or another album to album. I'm looking forward to the next outburst and calm to follow.

Also, Richard Butler from the Psychedelic Furs chimes in with instantly recognizable backgrounds on this one.
