about
Recorded at the Electric Cave, Portsmouth, NH 2018
lyrics
Walking out on the sand
Walking out on the street
Over mountains and milestones and miracles
I've got some beat feet...
Beat feet, they need some lovin'
Beat feet, bath salt and cucumber slices
Beat feet, got nothing to prove
Beat feet, take a power nap by the pool
Walking through a wasteland
Over clear cut empirical madness
Now for Bambi, Thumper and the 7 dwarves
The world is getting small
And the sun's getting hotter
I've got some beat feet
They need some lotion
Beat feet, peppermint scrub, baking soda
Beat feet, got nothing to lose
Beat feet, I don't wanna talk about it
All considering, I have made it thus far
Without a major incident
Knocking on the wood of my guitar
It's coming down to the hour
To lace up my boots and pull my socks on
Awesome pedestrian power
Gonna find another route to get my kicks on
I've got to beat feet
To make like a tree and leave
Beat feet, no quarters in the meter
Beat feet, there's no time to talk about it

My younger brother Dan's recent double-vinyl release! I used to play earlier versions of some of these tunes live on upright bass with Dan. Glad to hear them fully come to life. An inspiration :) Jonathan Blakeslee
David Kilgour is one of my fave musicians of all time. Love his records with The Clean, but his solo albums get just as much play time with me. Check out the first track here, "Like Rain". The best! Jonathan Blakeslee
Got turned onto John's music by a friend. "Vampire Alberta Blues" gets stuck in my head, reminds me of a track or two from Neil Young's "On the Beach"... Jonathan Blakeslee
Keith Richards, Rosanne Cash, Lucinda Williams, Joan Jett, and more pay tribute to the enduring and visionary music of Lou Reed. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 23, 2024
The UK upstarts' debut veers from sunny, psychedelic folk to bristling post-punk with reckless abandon without ever missing a beat. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 18, 2024
