In honor of Memorial Day weekend, and to escort all of you as you head off from work today for the long weekend, we thought we'd give you a special little addition to your summer household soundtrack. We've been listening to a Tanyas for about a month and love their sweet, melancholy but upbeat harmonies. They are talented, unusual and rockin'. Enjoy. To all House Music Picks.
You might like Po' Girl too.

Just a little correction: The Littlest Birds is not on the Chinatown album, it's on their earlier album. It's such a great song.

Yay -- I love the Be Good Tanyas!!!! And if you like that sort of old-fashioned quirky stuff check out Gillian Welch.

They've been regulars on the Canadian folk curcuit for years now. I'm such a fan.
