The Vaselines_The Way Of The Vaselines [1992]
The Vaselines were an indie rock band from Edinburgh, Scotland. Formed in 1986, the band was originally made up of only Eugene Kelly and Frances McKee, but later added James Seenan and Charly Kelly.
The band released two singles, "Son of a Gun" and "Dying for It", prior to releasing an album. In 1989 they released their only album, Dum Dum, on the record label Rough Trade. Following the closing of the record label 53rd and 3rd, which they had originally signed to, the band broke up in 1990. However, they reunited later that year to open for Nirvana when they played in Edinburgh.
Though they were not widely known when the band existed, covers of their songs by Nirvana and Kurt Cobain's tendency to mention them as an influence brought exposure to the band. With their songs "Son of a Gun" and "Molly's Lips" covered on Nirvana's album Incesticide and "Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam" covered as "Jesus Doesn't Want Me for a Sunbeam" on MTV Unplugged in New York, the band gained a new audience from people who wanted to discover the bands that influenced Cobain (a similar situation happened to the band The Meat Puppets). Due to this new exposure, in 1992 Sub Pop released The Way of the Vaselines: A Complete History, a compilation that contained The Vaselines' entire body of work on one album.

Apparat - Steinholz
I haven't heard this song in a while.. I just recommended it to thedisavowed and I'm all into Apparat again. There are only a few in the Electronic scene who know to compress their music like he does. Perfect test material when one goes out to buy headphones (what about it Fredd-E?). God, do I love that Saxophone!

Currently on repeat, new track titled "wwhbwd" by Bitcrush. If somehow you guys haven't checked him out yet, do yourself a favor and prepare to get blown away. I've probably said this before, but he's far and away the best discovery I've made all year. Shoegaze meets Idm meets Post Rock with a lite sprinkling of occasional vocals.

I dig Wall Of Voodoo, those first albums with Stan Ridgway are greatwb wrote:Wall of Voodoo: They Don't Want Me
Weird psychotic electro pop or something. One of my favourite 80's tracks and the story of my life
