The Last Song on the Record - # 23 The Violent Femmes - The Violent Femmes - Good Feeling

 
A very sweet ending to as turbulent a record of teenage angst and confused emotion as you could ever want to hear. One of the great debut albums. It came out at a similar time to R.E.M's Murmur and I remember it getting almost more attention with the UK media. Quite a cracking record! Listening to it right now takes me back to when I bought and listened to it first at 17 at the top of my parents' house in Teddington. Uncanny. Good Feeling is different in tone to anything that comes before. The rare moment of calm on the whole thing. Almost Jonathan Richman.
