Tom Waits---Any Fans?
    #5408587 - 03/16/06 02:00 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

one of my good friends is always talking about how much he loves Tom Waits, and I've never really heard his stuff before? Well, he gave me Rain Dogs a few days ago, and seriously, I dont know I've listened to anything else since.

Just started DL'ing his discography, but at 785megs, and 10/kbs from this shitty seed, it looks like a 2-dayer.

But yeah, Tom Waits = Super Good. Awesome voice and if you listen to lyrics, its really pretty deep...

One of my good friends is a massively passionate tom waits fan

I've listened to a little of his stuff, seems cool, but not terribly accessible

I love the album "Alice" but that's as deep as my Tom Waits experience runs. He's an artist I always want to explore, and one day I'll delve deeper into his back-catalog, but I dunno...it takes a certain mood, methinks.

I do like his curious style, and lovely singing voice. Actor, too.

:heart: Tom Waits.

I only own Bone Machine, but I've heard Rain Dogs and a few others. He's an amazing artist, and yeah, his lyrics can get pretty deep. =]

Tom Waits rocks.. I miss Pappy, he'd surely have a few lines to drop on this subject :heart:

I currently have his Alice, Big Time, Nighthawks at the Diner, and The Heart of Saturday Night albums; in addition to about 75 single tracks (some of which are repeats, I'm sure).  At any rate, I like this music in almost any mood thanks to its uniqueness and in many of his songs, its softly mellow consistent roll which lends itself very well to backround music while working on whatever the task may be.

Quote:

I got shoes untied, shirt tail's out, ain't got a
ghost of a chance with this old romance
just an apartment for rent down the block
Ivar Theater with live burlesque
and the manager's scowlin', feet on his desk
boom boom against the curtain
you're still hurtin'
and then push came to shove, shove came to biff
girls like that just lay you out stiff




Quote:

Let's put a new coat of paint on this lonesome old town
Set 'em up, we'll be knockin' em down.
You wear a dress, baby, and I'll wear a tie.
We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon in that burgundy sky

All your scribbled lovedreams, are lost or thrown away,
Here amidst the shuffle of an overflowing day
Our love needs a transfusion so let's shoot it full of wine
Fishin' for a good time starts with throwin'in your line.

I like this...Postcard from a Hooker in Minneapolis.

Sad, but poignant....

Quote:

hey charlie i'm pregnant
and living on the 9th street
right above a dirty bookstore
of euclid avenue
and i stopped takin dope
and i quit drinkin whiskey
and my old man plays the trombone
and works out at the track

and he says that he loves me
even though its not his baby
and he says that he'll raise him up
like he would his own son
and he gave me a ring
that was worn by his mother
and he takes me out dancin
every saturday night.

and hey charlie i think about you
everytime i pass a fillin station
om account of all the grease
you used to wear in your hair
and i still have that record
of little anthony & the imperials
but someone stole my record player
now how do you like that?

hey charlie i almost went crazy
after mario got busted
so i went back to omaha to
live with my folks
but everyone i used to know
was either dead or in prison
so i came back to minneapolis
this time i think i'm gonna stay.

hey charlie i think i'm happy
for the first time since my accident
and i wish i had all the money
that we used to spend on dope
i'd buy me a used car lot
and i wouldn't sell any of em
i'd just drive a different car
every day, dependin on how
i feel

hey charlie for chrissakes
do you want to know the
truth of it?
i don't have a husband
he don't play the trombone
and i need to borrow money
to pay this lawyer
and charlie, hey
i'll be eligible for parole
come valentines day

Alice is a great concept album, and likely the most accessible. I highly recommend Rain Dogs, and after that probably the Heart of Saturday Night or Bone Machine.
They're all good, though. Tom Waits is an American music icon.

Rain Dogs was probably thee best album he could of borrowed you to get you into mr.Waits.

Check out Early Years vol.2, I cant find one, I only ever saw it once on vinyl, and the next day it was gone.

Swordfishtrombones, and the black rider are amongst my top Tom Waits albums, his new stuff IMO isn't as good as some of his earlier stuff.

Tom Waits is the shit! I love all of the stuff that I have heard from him. He experimented with the antivocal thing, for awhile. I have respect for anyone that tries that.

I wonder if this is the song sheik likes.

Les Claypool plays bass on it :shrug:

and it sounds like bones clangin' to me. But a lot of Waits does.

I really like his stuff. It's soulful, whiskey-drenched music. Small Change is one of my favorite albums I've heard. There's a lot I have yet to hear by him. His newest album Real Gone is very good too.
