Scott Walker, you tease. On November 13-15, London's Barbican will host a series of live performances of the works of the American songwriter/experimental music icon, with a particular emphasis on his more recent, more avant garde works Tilt and The Drift. Fittingly, the performance series is called Drifting and Tilting: The Songs of Scott Walker.

Scott's band will be there, as will an orchestra and a number of vocalists. But despite producing the whole affair, the notoriously stage-shy Walker will not-- I repeat, will not-- be performing at the event.

What, you're just gonna sit there and watch other people play your songs, Scott Walker? You badass.

Thanks to Alex MacDonald for the heads up.
