From time to time, you just find yourself going back to those albums that meant a lot to your music evolution.  I can’t say enough about how much I loved listening to the Violent Femmes, whether it was their clever humor or just the overall feel of the music they presented.  Sure, I’d love to say that I heard this when it first came out, but I didn’t get into it until 1994 when I was a high school freshmen.  I had been sidetracked by grunge and other metal influences, but their self-titled album got me right back on track.  If you can’t love this song, and this band, then you’ve lost your way my friend.
