der musikmarkt ist so breit, es wird immer irgendwo veröffentlicht. wer sich intensiv mit der materie beschäftigt, dem wird auch auffallen, dass es das vielbeschworene sommerloch nicht gibt. es ist maximal ein löchchen, das sich auftut, wenn die großen firmen etwas herunterfahren. aber alle anderen kämpfen weiter ums überleben. wir auch: aus chicago und neu auf abandoned love records , mit "piecemeal" wollen sie ab 17. august gewaltig durchstarten, allerdings eher auf samtenen pfoten, sehr feinsinnig, sehr schön: like pioneers - gift like a holiday [...]

There's no beating around the bush with the Vaselines . Forget innuendos or suggestive metaphors: they tell it to you straight. Their upcoming album has the self-explanatory title Sex with an X , which is also the name of the new single. It contains lines like "Feels so good" and "I'm going down," along with a raunchy refrain of "Let's do it, let's do it again." With its mix of sex, Scottish pop and crunchy guitars, this song manages to encapsulate all of my interests in three and a half minutes. Download the track below, [...]
Ghost Animal Los Angeles Michael Avishay I've been Ghost Animal in some form or another since I was fifteen and I saw the words "GHOST ANIMAL" written on a wall somewhere in the middle of Norway. I used to write silly acoustic love songs to imaginary girlfriends in high school, but then about a year ago I met Marisa and discovered punk and shoegaze and the Pixies, which really changed everything, so I've put down my acoustic guitar [...]

Kurt Cobain favourites The Vaselines are about to release a second sparkling collection of wry, arch indie-pop tunes a mere 20 years after their debut album so entranced the Nirvana front man. Eugene Kelly and Frances McKee have been busy in the intervening years, but now it's time for a fully-fledged Vaselines release. Recorded in Manchester, England with no fuss or frill, a track a day, with Jamie Watson, the producer of Dum Dum . And you can get your eager mitts (are they eager? I hope so) on [...]

Frank Yang It could have been an interesting study in contrasts if I'd bothered to go to both free shows happening in Toronto yesterday evening. Down at Union Station, you had local aspirant arena rockers Metric drawing throngs while shutting down a key chunk of downtown at rush hour as part of a cell phone launch for a major international corporation. And up in Little Italy, there was Christopher Chu - one quarter of California's pop merchants The Morning Benders - leading fans and passers-by in singalongs from a makeshift wooden stage [...]

What can you say? It's rock n' roll. Strange as it is, some people still know how to do it. The Vaselines- Sex With an X (off the album of the same name )

20+ years after their influential debut, Scottish cult favorites The Vaselines will release Sex With An X . Sub Pop have released the title track as a free download. MP3 :: Sex With An X (from Sex With An X . Info here ) ------------------------------ ------------------------------ -------------

Sure, the title sounds like a hit from Eliminator , but that sound is unmistakeably The Vaselines . Love it or hate it, you can thank Kurt Cobain, because he dug up Jesus Don't Want Me For A Sunbeam and rescued Frances and Eugene's musical legacy from time's incinerator. So now, 20+ years after their debut, The Vaselines are back with the cheekily-titled Sex With An X . Produced by Jamie Watson (who also helmed the band's debut, Dum Dum [...]

We, like you, have been waiting breathlessly since 1989 for the Vaselines to follow up their first and thus far only album, Dum-Dum . Except not really, since we'd be lying if we pretended it didn't take Nirvana to get us into them in the first place. But all the same, we've atoned for past ignorance and couldn't be more psyched for their second album, Sex With an X , which, as we've mentioned a few times in the past few days just as breathlessly, drops September 14th on Sub Pop . Below is the title track, [...]

As a guy who is greatly looking forward to the second ever Vaselines release coming out this fall, I'm excited to see that the band is offering up this new track "Sex With an X" for free. This song comes after we already heard new track "I Hate the 80s" from the group's upcoming Sex with an X LP. Fans of the band will be glad to know that the first album of new material in over 20 years will come out on September 14th via Sub Pop . Download: The [...]

The Vaselines , grupo favorito de Kurt Cobain está en plena forma. Tras su reciente reunión, los escoceses la han girado por todo el mundo con su rock de garage tan pegajoso y adictivo. Hace exactamente un año, la banda se presentó en el Summer Sonic Festival en Tokio, Japón y para celebrar el acontecimiento que los trajo de vuelta a los escenarios, la banda subió a la red un video en donde suenan "Son of a Gun" y "Molly's Lips" dos de sus canciones más conocidas gracias a que Nirvana las versionara (los que compraron [...]
Almost exactly a year ago, The Vaselines took their reunion tour to the Supersonic Festival in Japan. They played the hits. Above, you can check one of those out, namely a clip of them bashing out "Son Of A Gun." It's a great primer for noobs and perhaps a song you've already heard played by this band before. The Vaselines' Sex With an Ex is out August 24 via Sub Pop .
