Not that this is all too relevant to the DFW (they won’t be within 500 miles of Texas), but if you’ve got tons of money and can buy a plane ticket I think you might just have shit your pants. The Vaselines, you probably heard Kurt Cobain talk about them a time or two, are embarking on their 2nd tour of the U.S. Sub-Pop just released delux edition 3xLP Enter the Vaselines, a collection of hits/rarities/b-sides and (if you’ve got a few hours to sit down and jam some tunes) is nothing short of a masterpiece. Here’s a couple of tracks to enjoy, as well as the tour dates that I probably won’t get to visit.
