Audio nostalgia....The Blake Babies

Posted over 4 years ago
Straight outta Boston. I love Juliana Hatfield, and her first big band, the Blake Babies, who made a handful of REALLY good records in the late 80's and early 90's. 'Sunburn' is my favorite disc of theirs.And they have one of my favorite 'how did you get that name' stories.FROM WIKIThe name "Blake Babies" was provided by the poet Allen Ginsberg; following a reading at Harvard University, the group (which had just begun to play together) raised their hands and asked him to name their band. Ginsberg's suggestion was likely inspired by the first half of William Blake’s Songs of Innocence and Experience. <><><>Ginsberg naming your band = so cool
