The Violent Femmes are releasing an MP3 entitled Something’s Wrong, a collection of 22 songs including bizarre covers, outtakes and b-sides. Frontman Brian Ritchie explained, “I suppose in the old days, this stuff would have been available as bootlegs, b-sides and tracks on compilation albums. In other words, impossible to find and enormously expensive collectors items. Instead, Violent Femmes and EMusic have considerately gathered all of this music together and it can be yours with the mere tap of a computer keyboard. That’s progress.” Although it sounds like Ritchie has been possessed by some scary talking-head business-man, the basic message is still goodófree new music from the Femmes.
