AMG Review of Add It Up (1981-1993)
Steve Huey
All Music GuideAdd It Up is not quite the definitive Violent Femmes compilation one might hope for, even if it does feature 23 tracks and adds essential later items missing from their first comp, Debacle: The First Decade. There are several charming rarities to hook dedicated fans, who will likely find several favorites missing (perhaps another song or two could have been substituted for the between-song bits). The group's self-titled debut does a better job of encapsulating why they were important, and remains the first Femmes album to buy; besides, no compilation that includes live versions of "Kiss Off" and "Add It Up" in place of the original studio cuts can claim to be definitive. However, even casual fans who enjoyed Violent Femmes will find post-debut songs like "American Music" and "I Held Her in My Arms" to be essential, so even if Add It Up is a little too imperfect to be a necessary first purchase, it's definitely a necessary second purchase. Unless you're a die-hard fan, it will likely be the only other Violent Femmes disc you'll need.

College has finally met me. Here I am in O'Shag, one of the luckier draws in my life. A clean, co-ed dorm with mostly upperclassmen. Thankfully, they're really cool. So yeah. Also, Blister in the Sun is fucking awesome.

I might have gotten the album tag wrong on this one, but all my vfs are loaded in the car CD player, the cases are there and I didn't label my ITunes. And I'm too grumpy to bother anyway. Days like this I'm glad that I get to be in the car alone once in a while and can snarl along with the Violent Femmes:

I´m missing MOG bigtime and just had to check in. One more day of vacation in Puerto Vallarta and we´¨re heading home. Every walk down the malecon is filled with musica. We keep hearing Sean Paul´s Temperature blasting from cars and the Nokia truck. Anna, there was a Greek DJ at my father´s birthday party last night. He´s from Athens and spends five months here in mexico. Cosmo was his name,

NPR's pledge drive drove me to change to a regular FM station on my radio and to my surprise, I hear the opening riff to Gone Daddy Gone... only it's not the Violent Femmes. This is actually possibly worse than when 311 covered the Cure.Last Friday night I saw the Femmes play an incredible nearly 2-hour set at the Warsaw in Brooklyn. The venue itself being a favorite of mine only amplified my...
