The first Violent Femmes LP (simply titled "Violent Femmes") has got to
be one of my favorite albums of the past few years.  It seems this is 
a group with very little middle ground - everyone I know either loves them
or HATES them (or have not heard of them).  Their second LP, "Hallowed Ground"
I do not like nearly as much.

I saw them in Denver this June, and they put on quite a show.  They even 
made an appearance in a local record store, and did an acoustic set in
the store the afternoon before their show.  In the show in the store, 
the drummer used a handy trash can as a drum.
