Heaven knows I'm not one to fall for record companies' promotional gimmicks but...
Well, I like this fellow, OK?
And hell, eight songs for free is eight songs for free is worth the occasional spam email from the Tom Waits website, right? Saves me from having to write about them, right?

Jesus, Waits looks like some kind of 19th century Victorian conjurer.

yep. his banter rules. indeed, i was heard to be talking about on stage recently that most bands would benefit from fucking just quitting rehearsing their songs and practising their between-song dialogue instead

i had a new wave a cappella group in the 80s (we couldn't sing in time, we couldn't sing in tune, and we were completely vocal) - and the ONLY thing we practised was our dialogue.

ReplyDeleteEverett True Is it just me, or is it impossible to imagine Tom Waits as a boy?

His high school yearbook photo is in Barney Hoskyn's recent book. Once I saw that it wasn't hard to imagine anymore. But I know what you mean.

i can imagine him during playtime (sorry, recess!) at school, aged 8, scaring the shit out of the other kids with his 40 a day habit and looking EXACTLY as he does now. so yeah, me neither!

I can imagine him as a boy. Dusty baseball boots, scabby knees, short trousers, stripy t-shirt gone at the collar... but with that old grown-up Tom Waits head... unnerving.

Awesome, I saw 2 shows of this European tour and they were mind blowing. He's my favourite dude in the world!
