Tom Waits' Private Listening Party - Bad as Me
I have been listening to Tom Waits' for years, no make that decades and this gift with music is intertwined with his ear for language.
The between song batter with the audience is a performance piece all it's own and serves to tie the songs, their stories and Waits' performance character together in a complete package.
In recent years he has discovered the internets, and his video work on these album (did I just say album?) teasers are first rate.
Tom Wait's - Bad as Me is out today
If I had an IPod this would be on it.

Tom Waits is a proper Troubadour.
So any time with the mat this weekend old boy (that's British for pal/friend... not literally an ageist thing)?
We are in a spot of bother over the surf here. ;) I joined a tribe of knee-boarders for their most recent gathering. Quite small, windy and with a side order of fog. Next week doesn't look much better but hope springs eternal!
Cheers for the heads up on Waits. I'll go and download in a min.
