Lisa Baby and The Expert

we have been scurrying around updating the myspace recently and there are a few presents you might find up there. among them is a cut of our song "Lisa Baby". it's a newer jam that most of you will not have heard unless you have been at a live show recently.

ALSO, secrets for you. this song is a bizarre reincarnation of a very very ancient melody from whay bhack when in the days of The Expert, Nick L's and Nick P's band from freshman year at Kenyon. listen to "Shameless Ways"



finally we're booking shows for the summer, and one of them is a biggun Saturday May 15th at the Grand Opening of Radiodown. used to be a venue last decade and it has been re-acquired, re-located, and is in re-construction as we blog. the owners took me in to see the ballroom today and it is huge and gorgeous and classy, somewhat unlike the delightful but mildly seedy-looking Mad Hatter next door.

ANYWAY we will be playing around midnight after the Pomegranates, the Seedy Seeds, Enlou, and the No No Knots. and it's bound to be a stellar night.

love,
WALK

Blueshort on the Debbie and AIM is so 2001.

WALK is playing a free show this Friday at Newport on the Levee, next to the beautiful view of the Ohio River and all the sharks in their tanks in the Aquarium nextdoor. 6-10pm, and inside if it rains, but it won't, damnit.

did you know "Ohio" came from the Native American term "Oyo" meaning "beautiful river"?

Stained. Mince-print

indy tonight, in a few hours, but i just had the opportunity to go to the Music NOW festival in Cincinnati and see St. Vincent for the first time.




to me she sounds like if Winona Ryder's character from Beetlejuice studied with Maurice Ravel while secretly courting Sufjan Stevens and after graduating and spending a month alone in her room messing with her new distortion pedal released an album performed by Feist.




album's called Actor. the show was enthralling, if a bit Beetlejuicy.

found somewhere... this time

i am flying on an old tv set
that i got at a garage sale
the worlds biggest and only one
i'm worried about good people
i have my reasons to be inward
i am wishing i were known
but wondering for what i would be known
knowing i possess it
wondering how to access it
hungry for a sandwich
hungry for a half-eaten good time
hungry for an authentic piece of happiness
thinking i may have it in the kitchen
too lazy to go fetch it
too lazy or too scared?
what if i overcook it? what if i over-eat?
and most importantly:
with whom will i be eating?
will i eat with anyone?

hanging on to the edge of the ship careening across the atlantic, getting barnacles under our fingernails

dear you,

this blog has been neglected and we don't like that. nor do you, we imagine. as invisible as we may have seemed according to this page we promise lots is going on.... if you don't believe, give a looksee to our myspace... though Sunday March 14th at the Mad Hatter in Covington is likely to be the last show of ours in March, April looks to become a 10+ show month with happy extra in-betweens.

please do check back soon, as we continue to inform you of our recent lunatic voyage to the outer Spacement in Athens, the unusual faces you may be noticing onstage with us at performances, and of course our odd confessions, confusions, and contemplations that are want to divulge themselves here for the universe and you and often do.

in the meantime (which unfortunately is tax-time), live the mantra! the mantra!



love always,
WALK THE MOON
