One reason to stream RP is to avoid this one. Until now, that is.

For 28 years, I couldn't get the phrase "Big hands I know you're the one..." out of my head.  I still can't.  Help.  {#Sorry}

Like Camper van Beethoven, VF, I think, did define my age-group in many ways. Guadalcanal Diary, early REM, and others set the stage for Nirvana, but my generation was already past our musical prime once Kurt and his buddies finally arrived on the scene {#Lol}

Nope - I was going through a messy divorce, on the verge of losing my house, and working full-time.  Sorry if I missed the whimsy of this song. Might have to give it another listen. (If I don't post again, you'll know I cut off my own head.) {#Lol}

This album came out many years before I was even in high school. Students in the early 90s of course prided themselves by listening to Led Zeppelin, the Doors, Pink Floyd, etc. Somehow we got into this album 10 years after its release. Lot's of memories! Instant 10, but I agree, "Add it Up" is their best.

Wow, can't believe the amount of hate this song gets... I guess it's not for everyone.  10 for me, love the Femmes.  It would be nice to hear Add It Up next...

I'm 16.  I'm spinning on a chair as i get drunk on gin and juice and this song is playing.  Also one of my friends who is normally very polite just asked where that big fat chick Rack is and she was behind him.  He needs a drink.
