There's a new Vaselines album coming!

They're a bunch of Glaswegians who - 20 years ago - married twee, jangly guitars and sex to make magic. Kurt Cobain was a fan too - 'Jesus Doesn't Want Me For A Sunbeam', on Nirvana's acoustic album, is a Vaselines track, as are 'Molly's Lips' and 'Son of a Gun', on Incesticide.

I've just received the Holy Grail of Scottish nerd sex pop: a triple vinyl remastered copy of everything The Vaselines ever did, with a posh booklet, MP3 version included, and all on the delightful Sub Pop records. Shame the lead singer looks exactly like my unlamented ex-boss.

And now I've stupidly downloaded several Pastels albums even though I have them on vinyl.
