Add It Up, The Violent Femmes

This album was pretty fun also - it's kind of hillbilly meets punky geek with the confident weirdness of David Byrne. I was surprised at how many Jesus songs there were and I wonder what the band's relationship is with him? At times it's a little rough around the edges or too wandering as they ramble on with their horns and screeches in the more obscure sounding tracks. Once I got to the point (around Vancouver) where I had to struggle to adjust my tastes too get in to the right mood the atmosphere changes and eases you in to the last song on the album, "Johnny" nicely. It's like a rain cloud rolls over and washes away all the grime and urges you to bundle up and stay inside...
