Here's that post that I promised.

About The Vaselines: a somewhat obscure, somewhat desolate late 80's/early 90's band from Scottland. You might know the song Molly's Lipscovered by Nirvana, also covered by a small band from the UK called The Paddingtons. They only released one whole album and two short EPs throughout their career. Just enough to make a decent compilation..

Also 60's band The Troggs' Hit Single Anthology which includes Wild Thing, which I've heard a million times before, and then a whole bunch of other songs that I've never heard before pre-ownership of the album. My favorites:

Last week went nicely at Ruff Club, except for when I started doing an awkward thing with my hand (see above). This week will probably surpass last week's niceness because of.. well.. look at the flyer:



I also managed to get upstate last weekend to explore what was left of an old ski resort called The Big Vanilla. Actually couldn't get into the challet up top of the mountain, which was dissappointing. Perhaps this coming weekend I'll give it another go.. IT'S AN AMAZINGLY HUGE challet/lodge, too bad there's nothing about the resort on the internet. Pics:









Off to work, then to this, maybe:
