ARTIST: Velocity Girl SONG: “Warm/Crawl,” 1992 FIRST APPEARANCE: Sub Pop Singles Club #39 WHY IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN A-SIDE: “Warm/Crawl” came from a limited-edition split single that Velocity Girl put out with fellow D.C. indie stalwarts Tsunami. It’s almost two songs in one, with a dreamy, soaring first half that gives way to some frantic guitars and a cascade of multitracked Sarah Shannon vocals, and the way those two halves come together pretty much sums up why we still give Copacetic spins after all these years.
