Subpop Records released this remastering of selections from The Vaselines' discography just a month ago. These unusual indie-boppers come all the way from Glasgow, Scotland, and have been in and out of recording studios since 1986. With a Belle and Sebastian meet Kimya Dawson kind of sound, The Vaselines never fail to surprise audiences with their bizarre, often overtly sexual song lyrics and subjects (The Day I Was a Horse, Rory Rides Me Raw, Sex Sux, and Monsterpussy, to name a few). Their biggest claim to fame is that they are one of Kurt Cobain's most-cited musical influences (Nirvana covered at least 3 Vaselines songs). And that's more than enough of an endorsement to get me to set aside 2 minutes to give them a listen. I hope you do too.
