Scott Walkerhas, after an 11 year break, released a new album (Statesiders will have to wait until the 23rd). If it's anything like his previous release, Tilt, I'll be more than pleased. He is also to be the subject of an upcoming documentary. [related]

(How is the title of this post not "I'll punch a donkey on the streets of Galway"?)

I didn't know that Mean Mr. Bucket (I don't use iTunes). So how does that work that they say the release date is 23rd May but it's already released?

Australian iTunes, if only to hear the tracks.

Scott Walker is also the name of the county executive for Milwaukee County.

So at first glance I was very confused by this post.
