Song We Like: Kathy by Family Vacation

Song We Like: Kathy by Family Vacation

The lads from Chicago who make up Family Vacation are looking for America by writing an album inspired by the famous Simon and Garfunkel song of that name. Our favorite amongst these is “Kathy,” a song about the girl on the bus: she smoked the last cigarette an hour ago, and is a person worth considering in song. Again. (Featured on our #35 podcast, Walt Whitman)

Song We Like: Homme-Enfant by Annie More

Don’t tell me — I like where it is in my imagination.) (Featured on our #35 podcast, Walt Whitman)

Get your druid on and stand around a fire. The music will make you move, in a rhythmic, kind of thrashy way. It’s delicious, particularly in darkness. (Featured on our #33 Podcast, Satan’s Eggnog.)

Errol Bateman is blessed with one of those haunting girl-singer kind of voices, but she doesn’t take it for granted. Her songs are well-constructed, have an organized flow, and take you someplace with meaning. (Featured on our #33 Podcast, Satan’s Eggnog.)
