YouTube du Jour: The Vaselines

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqB2bkYq3Ow&feature=related[/youtube] Glasgow’s The Vaselines formed in the mid-1980s but broke up before America discovered them, courtesy of Kurt Cobain. He was a fan and at his urging, Sub Pop Records released The Way of the Vaselines: A Complete History in 1992. Nirvana covered their song, “Jesus Doesn’t Want Me for a Sunbeam,” on MTV Unplugged in New York. The band is together again and plays tonight at One Eyed Jacks with Jeffery Lewis opening. Here are the Vaselines performing “Son of a Gun” and “Molly’s Lips” live in Japan.
