Source: Wikipedia
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 >

I have to re post these thoughts on one of the last concerts I attended. I write this disclaimer that there possibly is not a bigger Tom Waits fan than I. I own every album, many bootlegs, and have had the good fortune to see him in concert twice. This was posted as more of a reply to many of the salivating fanboys on another blog:
I have to say I was a little disappointed - only because I have had the fortune to see Mr. Waits once before - in Florence, Italy in 1999 ... MORE

Recently I rekindled my relationship with Tom Waits. Stories told by the soul, from the gut. Teeth flashing, eyes closed.....all the passion of a torrid love affair in a dirty hotel room. He's the kind of man that could make sinning a blessing. Perhaps a bourbon between friends in a smoke filled room, scratchy voice with meaning.... MORE

I love that Tom Waits was on The Daily Show last night. I also love that the "interview" basically consisted of Jon explaining to him, in detail, why he's the greatest thing to happen to music in the last 50 years or so, if not ever. Kind of reminded me why Jon was my number one celebrity crush when I was a teenager, though also a terrible interviewer most of the time.

Greetings all, It's a cold cold night here in San Francisco. I can't think of a better
way to warm up then by snuggling up to glow of the computer monitor to
write yall this note. I'm still recovering from the life-changing pilgrimage I made last week
to see Tom Waits in Chicago. Pure mysterious genius. The man dances
with his influences but never takes them home. He needs not the
gimmicks that frame most concert experiences... just enough light to
see the ba... MORE

1Yeh, it'd great if people actually toured at little bit more up here in Montana. You have to either travel Salt Lake city, or Portland/Seattle.

Now that they fixed the client for this biz, I thought I'd give it an actual try-out. I do a lot of actual blogging over at my livejournal, but I always dig new ways to find music, so maybe this place will be a good idea. Hard to say.... MORE
