Tanya Donelly - Keeping You (Official Video)

This is from Tanya's possibly under-rated album Beautysleep which came out on 4AD. It's a beautiful album, but then again, I think that Ms. Donelly could literally sing the menu from a restaurant and sound great.

The Black Halos - Some Things Never Fall

In 2001, I spent a couple of months hanging out in Vancouver and other parts of British Columbia. Vancouver punks, The Black Halos had recently released the album The Violent Years on Sub Pop and were having a "moment". This song was getting played a lot and is evocative of that time for me, along with a couple of other songs.

The Dirtmitts - In The Meantime

This is the lead track from this Vancouver band's debut and self-titled album. Their only other album followed in 2002.

Although I could have posted other videos for songs that may be more known because of appearance on TV shows, I kind of like a video with a little narrative like this one and the jangle of it suits my tastes, too.

After this band broke up, I had a little bit to do with the guitarist from The Dirtmitts, but hadn't really heard much of their stuff until now.
