“Well I’ve always been a one for lush production values really. That’s why I love Scott Walker so much. Those records sound like a billion dollars, It was nice to see Scott at Meltdown. He came to our dressing room before our gig. Damon had him in the corner saying to him, “you ought to fucking get back on tour!” I think he was a bit scared of Damon.”

New 2012-related things that the Scott Walkers will not have in common:
- A possible new album.
- An increasingly inevitable recall election.
Not every Scott Walker can be Scott Walker, but I guess that’s old news. Album news is now somewhat more official and so that makes it new news again in my book, or maybe it’s just that some news never gets old. In any case, hope this helps brighten everyone’s December - some new darkness on the horizon!
