My Sister

The Juliana Hatfield Three: "My Sister" (east west)

The school of the disingenuously naive lyric consummately delivered with all the detachment, aplomb and heart-achingly brutal honesty of someone who has stared long and painfully at a helluva lot of complexity is open, as Juliana Hatfield turns epigrammatical raconteur extraordinaire with a wistful tale of infatuated little sisterly love, hatred and admiration for the cooler than cool, hipper than hip big sister who, by and large, is oblivious to her devotee's undying pledge of loyalty and who probably isn't even aware of the hole she creates in her younger acolyte's life when the day arrives for the older girl to sever the familial bonds and go her own way. Except that Juliana lets all those worshipped goddesses know that their ambivalent idolaters really miss them. Evan who?
