At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye?

'Cause black is how I feel on the inside

And if you have five seconds to spare
Then I'll tell you the story of my life:
Sixteen, clumsy and shy

And don't go home tonight
Come out and find the one that you love and who loves you

It says nothing to me about my life

moving painting

An interpretation of Dante's Divine Comedy, this is 400 clips displayed from hell to heaven with the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man somewhere in between.

This is actually installed for viewing in the elevators of The Standard Hotel in New York. I would assume then that this means the upper level suites are akin to heaven.

30 century man

Yay! It's been a long time coming, but 30 Century Man is finally out on DVD and definitely gives great insight into Scott Walker, aka Noel Scott Engel. The greatest surprise is all those who make appearances in the film, including David Bowie (who is actually the executive producer of the documentary), Brian Eno, Alison Goldfrapp, Neil Hannon, Richard Hawley, Johnny Marr, Jarvis Cocker, a slab of meat used as a percussion and more.

Next: Delving into Walker's newer music, which I am completely unfamiliar with.

Joanna - Scott Walker & The Walker Brothers
The Old Man's Back Again - Scott Walker
Amsterdam - Scott Walker
Amsterdam - Jacques Brel

you know who i am

If you should ever track me down
I will surrender there
and I will leave with you one broken man
whom I will teach you to repair

You know who I am,
you've stared at the sun,
well I am the one who loves
changing from nothing to one

I cannot follow you, my love
you cannot follow me
I am the distance you put between
all of the moments that we will be
