VIOLENT FEMMES
Add It Up (1981-1993)
2021 U.S. 2xLP pressing

Saturday night with the Femmes.

This is one of those absolutely perfect compilations of a band’s work. I talked about it when I posted Special View by The Only Ones a few weeks ago. You could argue that Add It Up might be the only thing you’d ever need to own by the Violent Femmes.

It covers all possible bases; signature songs of theirs like ā€œBlister In The Sunā€, ā€œAmerican Musicā€, ā€œI Held Her In My Armsā€, and ā€œGone Daddy Goneā€, but also the deeper and weirder cuts like the frightening ā€œCountry Death Songā€, as well as five killer live tracks.

Such a great, odd, completely singular band.

and poor Gordon's voicemail... "I've been locked... IN-side my house..."

second best voicemail of all rock-n-roll (behind Gloria calling TMBG's Dial-a-Song...)
