Song We Like: Dead Singers by Rebecca F

Song We Like: Dead Singers by Rebecca F

,

I mean, she pretty much says what we were all thinking. Some singer who is disconnected to you, never met you, and is, moreover, dead, can be your soulmate and truly good friend. It is one of life’s great mysteries, and it’s something everyone has experienced. Way to exploit both profanity and metaphysics, Rebecca F! Good work. (Featured on our #35 podcast, Walt Whitman)

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

Song We Like: Homme-Enfant by Annie More


This song comes from a deep rhythmic tradition of French pop music, in which muttering and song are woven together; it reminds me of an updating of “A Man and a Woman.” (Although, to be fair, I have no idea what the vocals mean, so he could be singing about anything. Don’t tell me — I like where it is in my imagination.) (Featured on our #35 podcast, Walt Whitman)

Song We Like: I Hate Christmas by Tight Solid

This song is as depressed and excited and angry as Christmas probably should be, and certainly is. His girlfriend went to Hawaii. Swear by the Devil never to spend New Year’s apart. (Featured on our #33 Podcast, Satan’s Eggnog.)

Song We Like: Epilogue by Kurse

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.)
