Was just at The Vaselines concert. They're a Scottish band who were briefly on to something in the late nineties just before they broke up, and are probably most known for then being covered by Nirvana. It was their first time in San Francisco, and they were playing their 1989 album Dum-Dum. So, they're doing their thing, a mix of alternative and distortion laced with sexual and theological references. And, Frances McKee has a bit of a dirty mind (don't we all?), and in between songs is cracking jokes about muffs, prison, and things one should not do with a capo. And then, there was this wonderful moment, when Eugene Kelly asked Frances McKee (whom at this point was down to five guitar strings), "What is your beauty secret? How do you stay so young and pretty?". Not to disappoint, and not to beat around the bush, she replied:

I take semen from young boys and spread it all over my face. You don't need a face lift. It really works.

Wow, just wow.
