It's Friday! It's about three o'clock! It's time to Boogie At Your Desk!

You what? )

Today you are invited to Boogie At Your Desk to:

Violent Femmes - I Held Her In My Arms

Most of why I'd recommend the Violent Femmes can be deduced from the post I wrote a year ago after seeing them live.

Having said that, I was already a big fan of them from listening to a couple of CDs of theirs (initially pirate copies, I now own originals). Their debut album is very fine, but as an introduction I think I'd recommend the best-of, Add It Up.

The only Violent Femmes song anyone ever knows is Blister In The Sun, which is a grave shame. While it's a pretty good song, it's a pity that it's the only one you ever hear. I mean, it doesn't even have saxophones in it, never mind glockenspiel-wank. Nice bassline, though.

I'm not sure I Held Her In My Arms is really the song to start with, to be honest. I'm not sure it's representative. But it does have me Boogying At My Desk on a regular basis. So, er, why don't you Boogie to it too, then pop out and acquire a CD or two. Go on, you won't regret it.
