Oooooooooooh it comes ever closer. There's a September 10, 2007 release date on the documentary (watch the trailer) about Scott Walker (Allmusic) called 30 Century Man, and frankly, I can't bloody wait:

• a guy playing a side of meat as percussion
• a big wooden box erected to record the sound of somebody slamming a drink down
• Scott Walker talking on camera (!)
  

I'm dying to see it. Heh. Meat as an instrument... genius.

The hype is er, hyperbolic:

"" the most influential and enigmatic figure in rock history ""

.. and ..

""rock's most fascinating and elusive outsider""

(excluding Jandek, I presume).

But nonetheless, exciting.

As Jo helpfully pointed out, I AM going for drinks with the Wellingtonista crew tomorrow night. So despite my wailing and my woe about the (good-)heath of my liver, all is not lost. That is, if I can shake this nasty lurg. And, I do have to work all weekend. Arrrggghhh.......
