The World

Nirvana covered two of their songs and Kurt Cobain once called them his favorite songwriters in the whole world. After a 20 year hiatus, the Scottish indie pop couple, The Vaselines, reunites to make music. Eugene Kelly and Frances McKee talk with Kurt and play songs from their new album Sex with an X.

The Vaselines play “Sex with an X,” from their new album of the same name, live in our studio.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
