Amy King is in the throes of grading, writing, and other things. She’ll be back soon. In the meantime, enjoy a new video from the last Akron/Family album:
And if you’re really bored, please visit this interview I did with half of the Akron/Family many moons ago — but be careful, the music early on is contagious (& kind of crazed, but only at first):

Love the “simple” sound of the music from the video! I’m huge on “The Weakerthans” and “The Good Life,” so I guess I have a weakness for this sort of stuff (ironically enough, I can’t get into Wilco).
