Random Tom Waits Appearance Friday #20. Tom announcing the Glitter and Doom Tour.
I don’t know what I can say to this. It’s a tour announcement. Surely Tom Waits can’t make that weird, right?
“She’s a remarkable collaborator, and she’s a shiksa goddess and a trapeze artist, all of that. She can fix the truck. Expert on the African violet and all that. She’s outta this world. I don’t know what to say. I’m a lucky man. She has a remarkable imagination. And that’s the nation where I live. She’s bold, inventive and fearless. That’s who you wanna go in the woods with, right? Somebody who finishes your sentences for you.”
-Tom Waits, on wife, artist, writer and producer, Kathleen Brennan. Married since 1980.I want someone to talk about me like that one day ;)

You know the story. Here it comes again. I have no pride. I have no shame. You gotta make it rain.

Probably my favourite Waits song, You Can Never Hold Back Spring. Appropriate, for the winter solstice.

Sometimes the old ones are the best. “I Hope That I Don’t Fall In Love With You.”

In many ways, this song is about me. In some ways, such as “factually” it is not.
Random Tom Waits appearance Friday #11. This could be a thing.
Hell Broke Luce. Owain can testify that this is particularly good for blasting out over Bath to celebrate New Year. Notable for being sandwiched between two quiet, gentle ballads to finish off Bad As Me in a bit of perfect track-sequencing.
