Scott Walker on the Now-Infamous Pork Percussion in The Drift’s Clara
“I needed an undercurrent of violence and that came into my head.”
Had he heard someone punch a side of pork before?
“No, no, I just imagined it would sound like that. I happened to be walking past a butcher’s shop round where I lived and I saw this side of pork hanging there and I thought, well, that’s it.”

Scott Walker is 69 years old today, and still at least a century ahead of us.
Happy birthday Scott Walker!
