Waits is absolute genius. cant wait to get that!
"Tom Waits is channeling frequencies that the rest of us cannot hear."
Nobody's home but me...........
Been waitin' to check this out~
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">bet the next one meanders off into a totally new direction (again)Tom Waits is one of the most influential musicians in the world today, an artist who never rests on his laurels. He continues to re-invent music, push boundaries and create new sounds. On Real Gone, the up tempo tracks are some of the rawest and most kinetic he's ever laid down...He's never sounded like he's had this much fun...while the ballads are among his most beautiful and even chilling at times. Real Gone also contains his first overtly political song, "The Day After Tomorrow", a plaintive letter home from a young soldier in the middle of a war. Taken as a whole, the experience is breathtaking.
BIG TIME reviews

WOOHOO!!!
I haven't listened to Tom in a while.
time to fix that, RIGHT NOW! [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
Maybe now that he'll get some commercial acclaim, he can afford a bath and some new clothes. [img]wink.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Me or Tom?
Wish he'd do more acting. He was great as Renfield in Dracula. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

Yeah, I've heard it's good. Never seen it. I'll have to look out for it.
I listened to that at Tower the other day. 'Tis awesome, like most all his other stuff.
Best work he's done under the Anti label (IMO). Genius musician, genius actor. Anyone see Coffee and Cigarettes? "You saying there's something wrong with the drumming on my albums?"...
