I checked out 30 Century Man, a newly released documentary with executive producer none other than David Bowie. I doubt it will be in theatrical release for long--there was one other customer at the show, which opened last week end. If you are a fan, seek it out or look for the DVD. A lot of cameo appearances and comment by the many musicians Scott has influenced or inspired. Walker himself was...

1. Scott Walker - Clara (from "The Drift")The fact that for this track an artist is credited with "meat-punching" says it all. It's impossible to adequately describe this surreal poem about a dream of Clara Mussolini, a dream of her own death. It pulls you to the edge, sinking down to the low pits of deathly horror, spiraling upward holding a knife to your throat. Walker's operatic voice is in...
