Did he have them in this order? very cool.
he most certainly did have them in this order!
That's even cooler then.
ummm we're on it. :)
I'm just sayin'..a list of fave songs is not quite as good as a top ten,twenty.or 50, which is not quite as good,IMO, as a sequenced playlist where some thought went into the order.
That's why it's good sleuthing..'cause a mix tape from Tom Waits is the bees knees.
interesting Cody.....i guess i'm a moodswing kind of guy. i'd be just as happy hearing a Tom Waites shuffle from his collection or just a stack of songs he felt like playing at the moment. it's kind of like capturing a live performance. i love both studio tracks and live stuff though and it's awesome that we've got this!
I come from a DJ background and I'm old enough to have been a mix tape person. The new random world of listening does fit into my regularly scheduled programming and playlists have abounded since digital world has been upon us. A playlist can be inspired or not, well crafted or not, but many times it's just a list. I still love the flow of a sequenced mix whether it be on a single artists LP or from a DJ, or from anybody. It can put music in such a different context that you understand it better or more or differently than you had before.
The playlist has taken a bit of the personal out of the painstakingly crafted, real time recorded mixtape, but I still appreciate a good string of songs, loosely, or strikingly connected.
Of course 75% of my listening or more at this point is random and ends up being like the strangest,most wonderful radio station, and my biggest way of discovering music..kinda like what mixtapes used to be..
take a wide array of styles across multiple decades and 90,000 tracks and you get serious randomness..which I also dig. That's why, the other day, when DMDM wondered (and I licked my lips) how to get the MOG player to play a random mix of its 6 zillion tunes. Now that would be crazysexystupidfresh.
So yeah, the cool thing is that someone dug out these calls Mr. Waits made...but as an obsessive, i wondered if he wanted them heard in this way..knowhatimsayin?
i hear ya man and when it comes to albums, i still think of them the same way as you although without a side A/side B vibe....one long work. but as usual, a well written quickie comment! respect.
and it was awesome to put on this playlist this morning!!
Just getting started with all access and this playlist alone is already making this service live up to the hype.
Whole lotta my favorites up there!
Thankya, Mr. Waits.

Nice to see Marty Robbins on the list at #3. One of the greats!!
Interesting but what was the process of extracting these titles?
I recommend looking at the following link if you crave more meat. Includes his 20 "most cherished" albums along with a brief commentary on each, enjoy:

Tom is a man of interesting and tastes from Renfield to Rumblefish and The book of Eli he has swam the English Channel ( in song ) an was doing the Holland Dance long ago I think draging out his play list is stalking him and that he and Ms. Breenan should be left to right dig it !!!!!
I'm a huge Waits fan, especially: Early Years, Nighthawks, Swordfishtrombones, Rain Dogs, Frank's Wild Years, Big Time, Mule Variations, Blood Money, Orphans, Real Gone...
That being said...
I don't find his list any cooler than anything I could put together. Van Halen but no Roy Orbison? How long did he really take to put this together? "Hey, Tom, some website wants a list from you, got ten minutes?"
It's a mistake for us to expect musicians that we admire to have all the answers, they're busy making music, I'm sure some loser like me has way more time to listen to it. I DJ at a shitty Tiki Bar that opened in 1947 in Phoenix..it's my job to listen to music & find cool weird old shit...incidently, if you are in Phoenix swing by the Bikini Lounge on a Thursday or Friday...Think of a mix tape made by Waits/John Waters/Tarantino...say "hello", I'm super nice & not as much of a jerk as I come off here..I hope.
Which reminds me...I used to do social work & am a bit of Jazz/Blues/Roots guy, but I always thought since I was a white kid from Vermont, that perhaps i wasn't privy to THE REAL STUFF, the stuff that only old black people know, and ain't gonna tell ME. I had an elderly black lady as a client and we got to talking about music, she said she liked Jazz, soooooo...I asked her...who was he favorite...
Kenny G.
Have a Good Day..
Shane Kennedy, the DJ...I'm on the facebook and all that.
jusst started with MOG where are the genera. Can't I just go folk and have people I neverheard of play?
Now I know why I like Tom Waits so much, he's into my eclectic favorites, too.
loved this mellow playlist
a little surprised by only one...Moon River by Andy Williams...not that I don't appreciate the song, just a little surprised out of ALL music he included this.
