Ah. Some Scott Walker should do nicely right about now.
You may not like it, but it AIN'T CRAP.

not crap.
though, from what I've heard (the old records), the voice is a bit too 'styled' at times, at least for my tastes. I prefer Jacques Brel by a very long shot.

Walker brothers is a little easier to wrap your ears around for some. I love it all. It's raining today is something else and Girls from the Street blows my mind.

The new EP is great... it's actually more frightening than The Drift if you can believe it. (Lack of voice probably helps in that respect.)

Scott's first four solo albums are being reissued on vinyl.

And that sound you hear is 1000 people rushing to Ebay to scoop up the remaining original pressings.

I am glad. I enjoy the act of physically flipping over my copy of Scott 2. I want other people to feel the same.

From what i remember from a few years back, those Scott 1-4 records never seemed to go for much on Ebay and i think they are relatively easy to track down in England as well.
