TW rules. Small Change is my personal fav. The Piano has been drinking is one of the best songs ever written.

I have Rain Dogs and Heartattack & Vine. They're both fantastic.

You got turned into Tom Waits?
You mean like a Being John Malkovich type of deal?

That whole album is remarkable.

"I was a fool to go skating on your name
And by tracing it twice
I fell through the ice
of Alice.."

ive always liked tom waits. his best role was in 'down by law', he was really funny in that, the chemistry between him, lurie, and benigni was remarkable.

top 5 waits:
1. rain dogs
2. orphans: brawlers, bawlers, and bastards
3. swordfishtrombones
4. bone machine
5. mule variations

i hate his early 70's stuff though, before he adopted his whiskey and cigarette induced growl, and before he discovered beefheart (even though he shared a label with ol' van vliet, he never heard his music untull his future wife, kathleen brennan, played him trout mask while they were working on the set of
from one to the heart' . his music just wasnt distinct enough. he really came into his own on swordfishtrombones. anyways, hes an amazingly talented guy, musically, lyrically, and acting-wise.

Have you heard Nighthawks At The Diner? Its one of my favourite live albums ever. The atmosphere is amazing. It's certainly the best of his years at Asylum Records.

I like your top 5 list, so here's mine.

1. Alice
2. Rain Dogs
3. Nighthawks At The Diner
4. Orphans
5. Swordfishtrombones

I just find the theatrical aspects of Alice mesmerising, and the music is beautifully dismal. Rain Dogs is his classic, but I think Alice is a little more cohesive..

Anyone here like the music he did for Robert Wilson's "The Black Rider"? I remember the LP as being pretty great, with some guest appearances by William Burroughs.

I used to have that in my collection, or at least I remember having it, but it's not here now I'm looking for it.

MellySingsDoom · 07.14.2008, 08:50 AM

I had to sell my copy (along w/much other vinyl) when I was on the dole

. I should pick that up again on CD....I loved the song with the Burroughs lead vocals ("Ain't no sin to cast your skin, and dance around your bones.")

Danny Himself · 07.14.2008, 08:56 AM

You can probably get it on CD for about a fiver now.
