Scott-O -- as in Scott Walker and SunnO)))

in which track?

the one where he repeats a similar phrase 100x

maybe he's saying "bunghole binkie"

or "bar tab binkie"

"Bump the beaky" on Bull.

i hear "both are peaking" or "bumf or beaking"

in other words, i dunno.

ah ok xpost.

anyway, that part of the song is catchy

I've had the lyric sheet for about three months now and that bit still makes me go, 'Eh?'

Well, that and about 30% of it.

'Beaky' is the cute name I call my other half - a corruption of 'vicky' fwiw. So I haven't heard the album yet and won't get to until next week but already it's incredible that this is happening.

Pretty smug that I correctly identified "bump the beaky" when cloth-eared would-be internet comedians were suggesting it sounded remotely like "fuck the bacon" or "butts are leaking"

Re voice he's said that he keeps it in fine condition by basically never taking it out of its case until just before recording, when he will warm up by singing a blues or something. I think the different vibrato-free voices he employs here - the shouty one and the idk snotty? one he uses in the "whip-poor-will" bits, both of which made an appearance on "zercon" - are another example of Scott's whole keep it interesting/keep the listener on her toes deal, like not using bass or letting the music get too nice

Btw how funny is "whip-poor-will (wh-tssh! wh-tssh!)"? I love how shameless he is with the wordplay/sound matching sometimes

looking cool there lads, original photo

bet Fetish is a haunting rumination on man's innate perversion and the lengths he goes to to sublimate his truest desire

Well played

Hey this came out today. I heard it. It's decent. Maybe not quite the world building of the Drift or Bish Bosch, quite a few familiar ideas in here too, but it's Scott and it's Sunn O))) so it's obviously ace. Feels like a more naked version of the extent Scott sound. I'm more aware of what is actually going on than before.

Sounds almost exactly as I had anticipated. Enjoyed the 30 minutes I listened to on the walk to work this morning, being buffeted by winds.

Also I thought it sounded as if he was singing about Balfour Beaty.

Oh the wide tandoori...

Brando's hook sounds just like Sweet Child O Mine.

..Maybe not quite the world building of the Drift or Bish Bosch..

I have had Soused for 5 days and have spun it more times than I listened to Bish Bosch in 5 weeks after buying it. I prefer it.

Holy crap. This is as good as I accidentally imagined it would be for a second when I heard about it, before sanity kicked in and I lowered my expectations.

excellent post

The most surprising thing on this album are its first opening seconds. And yeah it sounds like GnR.

It's really good, though Lullaby sent me back to Ute Lemper's version where, just for the briefest moment, she sounds like Billy Mackenzie.

Which release is the UL version on?

It's on the Japanese edition of her Punishing Kiss album.

Also included in the Five Easy Pieces boxset, which they were practically giving away (it was a bit battered) in HMV about five years ago.

I'll use my time machine.

Or I'll just Dropbox it to you, seeing as it's so difficult to find...

(It'll have to be tonight as I have an iPhone and, naturally, I can't get anything off that).

Lemper version is so definitive I think of this one as a cover (an excellent one). It's interesting that Scott took out the "fa la la" sections, song feels quite different without them

It's cool Michael, but thanks. I do have a rip of that already :-)

lou barlow does not like sunn o)))

i hope sunn o))) names their next album 'lou barlow' and it's just one chord played for sixty minutes with the lyric 'lou barlow' intoned at a glacial pace over the whole running time.

more like sebadohn't amirite

BarlO)))

this is a good listen. certainly more listenable than Bisch Bosch and the Drift; it has a nice ominous cozy feel to it. Perfect for a dreadful autumn.

Walker currently locked in a basement with SunnO))), playing a three-hour long version of Dinosaur Jr:'s "Don't" whilst weeping.

"synthesized pre-set whip-cracks"

Oh, Lou. Scott has a whip man. From Bristol. Everyone knows that.

Well Lou's always had a reputation for being a miserable git.

The other factual error in there is he gets the lyrics to his 'favorite scott walker song' wrong (the string tied to the underwear is plastic palace people not montague terrace)

Online hardman's "takedown" is more deserving of our attention than this wasteman

lou was saying plastic palace people is ~montague terrace era~ but sort of a strange way to tag a scott ~era~ and smacks of half-assed attempt to appear to have interest/investment
