I liked the man's "cameo" in Shrek 2. That was sly.

meh, couldn't find a topic on it, and didn't really want to start a new one but...
I'm loving tom waits' 2002 album 'Alice'. particularly the tracks 'everything you can think' and the short 'i'm still here'.
i've always liked tom waits since my dad played me "the piano has been drinking", but only recently started listening to complete albums.
in one of my seminars at uni my tutor gave a small presentation on tom waits and one guy in my group said "what? this stuff sells?!" haha, that made me smile :D

Waits was excellent as Reinfield? in Dracula.
Drink some whiskey, put on Waits and read Charles Bukowski.

i once heard a song where he wasnt puttin on his voice to sound like a goul, and it was alright you know.
once my friend played me some song of his:
me: wtf, it sounds like he recorded this in a barn, using old leg bones as drum sticks
him:...well....he did record it in his chick coup
me:oh thats just fucking great. if he had a video to go along with this im sure theryed be all manour of skelitons shuffeling about in this chicken coup, and he would be wearing a silly tophat.

sounds like something off of bone machine, maybe 'earth died screaming'. great track
he sometimes records the room rather than the instruments too, and it still sounds amazing. so much character in his tracks.

Waits' voice is the proverbial 100 miles of bad road, but you can't learn to sing like that. That cultivated gravel texture is reminicent to me of old Satchmo himself and nobody cold lay down a lyric like that man.

Really or are you fucking with me.
I haven't thought of Bukowski until this thread popped up. I had a highschool sweatheart that turned me on to both gentlemen and I'm about to swoon from the nostalgia...
You really shouldn't dismiss Waits untill you've given a good listen while you are completely pissed.

the wierd thing is that its the exact opposite among most people that i generally somewhat agree with musically.
i mean look at this thread. infact i was surprised there were a few people saying he was over rated.
i probably dont know one person that is roughly my age who knows who tom waits is and doesnt like him.

He is the brussel sprout of the music world. You either love him or hate him.
