3:01 Pick Me Up: Yukon Blonde

Let’s face it: 3 p.m. is the cruellest time of the workday. The morning latte has worn off, and the post-lunch crash has you staggering around like an extra from a George A. Romero flick. That’s why, each weekday at 3:01 p.m., we present you with a video hand-picked to kick-start your heart. If the following clip doesn’t bring you temporarily back to life and help get you through the rest of the afternoon, chances are you’re dead inside.

Today's offering: without resorting to a measure as silly as trying to look it up, we're going to speculate that the band Yukon Blonde is named after either a) a variety of spruce, b) a kind of potato, or c) a particularly potent strain of hash.

Whatever the case, the Vancouver-based band has a new album, Tiger Talk, coming out on March 20, and a new video coming out right this very second.
