Thomas Alan Waits (born December 7, 1949) is an American singer-songwriter, composer, and actor. Waits has a distinctive voice, described by one critic as sounding "like it was soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months and then taken outside and run over with a car." With this trademark growl, his incorporation of pre-rock styles such as blues, jazz, and Vaudeville, and experimental tendencies verging on industrial music, Waits has built up a distinctive musi...Read More >

12Not only am I obsessed with music, but I am a like a level 7 film geek too. I am no film historian to be certain, but the films that I love I really love, and obsess over them.(See Magnolia and Midnight Cowboy for instance) Anyway, Here is a song that if I were ever
to write/direct a movie, it would have to be in there somewhere. Some songs just paint a perfect picture for you...like that last scene in Garden State with 'Frou Frou's Let Go, or just about every scene wi... MORE

I may not have a living will, but I have my funeral song all picked out. Tom Waits' Anywhere I Lay My Head says it all. I decided it years ago, and the song only gets more powerful to me as the years go on. And though the first half of the song is a dirge, a lament even, I love that it changes to a New Orleans bop.

Well it's Ninth and Hennepin
All the doughnuts have names that sound like prostitutes
And the moon's teeth marks are on the sky
Like a tarp thrown all over this
And the broken umbrellas like dead birds
And the steam comes out of the grill
Like the whole goddamn town's ready to blow...
And the bricks are all scarred with jailhouse tattoos
And everyone is behaving like dogs
And the horses are coming down Violin Road
And Dutch is dead on his feet
And all the rooms the... MORE

For the original post declaring December the month of the phonograph record, click here. Join the conversation! I had been in Baghdad for two weeks. It was Spring 1999. I had no music. When I was packing back in Chicago, I made a hasty decision to leave my walkman and cassettes behind. Hasty decisio... MORE

AaronPederson of Aaron PedersonSo, this is MOG , huh? -looks around- I like it! So, on to more important subjects. There's a question I ask a lot of people at work and I think it says a lot about a person. The question is, "If there were any song out there that you could have as your theme song; as your introduction into a room or store or just walking down the street, what would it be?" It's a good question and I think there are two answers to it at all times. There's your general theme song or there's a... MORE
