DCFC guitarist and Barsuk go-to-producer Chris Walla has announced his first solo effort since Martin Youth Auxiliary.
A new song is up. It’s a cover of an excellent Clinic song called ‘Distortions’. Barsuk has agreed to release my as-yet-unrecorded album in March of 2007. I may end up with a band name after all. Please send ideas along if you have them; I’m undecided about the whole thing. The band that will tour with me behind this record is starting to come together also. Shaking with excitement! Buy ‘Oh No’ by OK Go here if you haven’t already. Out swiftly, Jack!
- Christopher Walla
Here’s that Clinic song:

How about something not named after animal parts like Walla and the Grave Rollers or Wolf Bladder?
Maybe not the last one.
Walla C’s
P.S. Why did he cover this song? Leave Clinic alone with your synth strings. At least change the lyrics or something!
DJ Extra Crispy and the Fresh Nut Booty Crew. Wait, is that taken?

come on… no one’s said Dishwalla yet?
How about Walla Walla? You know, like Chicago, or Boston. And it’s in his home state too!
How about Walla Walla?
the sunfrogs. i’ll let him use the name.
why has no one suggested Dishwalla?
has it been done?
i see that as i typed “Dishwalla” comment, my brain waves hit robot-mark. we had a moment, and i was left looking a fool.
apologies all around for (now) too much dishwalla discussion.
i suggest richard marx. does this guy completely neuter distortions or wha? or wha?
The 700 Hoboes.
Wow, this is a totally atrocious cover of an excellent song! It’s like he surgically removed everything wonderful about it and turned it into (B)Ryan Adams or something.

He should take the name from that Cartoons track that went, “Oooh ee ooh ah ah bing bang walla walla bing bang”. I think it was the Cartoons anyway. ‘Walla Walla Bing Bang’ is my suggestion.
Chipmunks you mean?
Who the heck are the Cartoons?
I suggest: Dishwalla!
Or how about: Walla Walla!
no more walla
that cover does blow.

His voice isn’t too good. It sounds a bit like
a weaker Bernard Butler.
Be nice to Walla. He’s a good guy.
depeche load.
This cover sucks. But funny that I just posted Clinic:
http://blank-crisis.blogspot.com/2006/08/clinic.html
and found this.
i think just WALLA would be the best.
ps…awesome song.
i think just WALLA would be the best.
and the album cover could have you on the cover with WALLA over your eyes. or you could be brushing your teeth like Ben Kweller and have WALLA written on the toothbrush. or you could be covering your eyes with your hands and have WA written on one and L on your nose and LA on the other hand. or you could look like you are shouting and have WALLA coming out of your mouth.
just shooting out ideas.
ps…awesome song. it is of equal coolness of the original.
sorry, i posted the other one too soon and by the time i could stop it, it had posted already.
