Perfect Monday morning to hop a ferry over to Vancouver from the Island. Had an adventure filled time with Coral and the kids. We took a drive on Saturday out to Mystic Beach. April gives us perfect hiking weather in the Pacific North-West. Sunny, warm, but not hot.
Riding the bus to the skytrain I put up an old playlist. I used to make these mixes last summer called “Alternative to What?” Generally a mix of modern rocking, on the margins of mainstream, fun lists.
As the weather turns, I better get back into the habit of restocking the sonic cupboard with brighter tunes (and come to think of it…the Honda CRV’s infotainment thing is glitching and not reading our phones. I’ll have to fix that if we plan on road tripping).
Here is an older song, but a track that is getting some love on commercial modern rock in the US right now.
The LA based duo is called In The Valley Below. Echo Park, that’s LA right?
Folky, chill, but with a beat and pretty female vocals ping-ponging off a lazy southern Gentleman drawl. The band is currently hustling. Playing radio festivals with other radio chart heatseekers. Like Waters? Nice. I like those guys too.

Finally…let’s talk about this bratty pop-punker… Unwed Teenage Mothers. From the Southern US. What is MS? Mississippi? Maybe they’re from North Carolina?
Go with yourself.
The Morning After
