Tarkio - "Helena Won't Get Stoned" (mp3)

Continuing baby picture week (not that I was planning to do this as such, but I'll see what I can dig up): Decemberists singer Colin Meloy's previous band. Tarkio will get the full archival treatment from KRS next month; the EP Sea Songs For Landlocked Sailors has some proto-Decemberist charm (though not as much as you'd think from the title), but Tarkio's first record, which will take up basically all of disc 1 in the two-disc package, is honestly kind of dull. This song's an exception, and as a bonus, I can't imagine Meloy singing it now. At the very least, a Decemberists version of "Helena" would have to be set in 50s Beat culture or something.
