I could've sworn there was already a thread about him.

Oh well.

Here's a new song:

Tom Waits - Bad As Me

Fucking badass!

[theis]

Mystery solved: "Bad As Me," Tom Waits' brand new single just hit iTunes along with a few key details on his forthcoming follow-up to Real Gone. As it turns out, the rumors were true: said single is, in fact, the title track to a 13-song album due out on October 25th. In addition to the standard LP, which opens with a tune called "Chicago" and closes with "New Year's Eve," a deluxe edition features bonus cuts "She Stole the Blush," "Tell Me," and "After You Die." Both versions are now available to pre-order, while the "Bad As Me" single can be purchased/previewed right now.

opening track titled "Chicago"... nice. I could've sworn we had some Tom Waits apprecation thread or something too. I'm pumped. Sept and October are looking to be huge months musically for me.

Here's probably my favorite song of his
Tom Waits -'Hoist That Rag'

Probably my favorite Tom Waits performance:

Tom Waits - Heart Attack and Vine

SO FUCKING COOL!!!

[pinkmaggit]

Just watched 'The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus' for the first time yesterday.
Tom's performance of 'Mr Nick' is superb!!!!!

[bright lights, big city]

Right on, man. He was good in that, and he also had a small but cool role in Book of Eli.

And according to my friend and confirmed by IMDB, he was in The Outsiders, one of my favorite movies. Had no idea he was in that.

He's also great as Renfield in Dracula and the bum in The Fisher King.

Also check him out in Jim Jarmusch's Down By Law. Great movie.

Thanks Theis & Bright Lights - I'm going to give those movies a watch.
I had no idea he was in more movies.

Creepy? No. Awesome and hilarious? Yes.

Yeah, he really does have a good sense of humour!
I laughed so hard at the photo's of the horses stables! hehehe
Every time he opens his mouth & starts to sing, it still amazes me and catches me a bit off guard - I can never really get used to a voice like that coming from a human being! (I mean that in a good way).

[bright lights, big city]

any word on a tour yet?

[theis]

Another song from the upcoming album.

BACK IN THE CROWD tom waits

Lovely!

[mr.sinister]

Good stuff.

[theis]

Bad as Me completely exceeded all my expectations. Absolutely flawless.

Album of the year.

"Hell Broke Luce" is insane.

[bright lights, big city]

I like this more and more with each listen. For obvious reasons, I'm in love with "Chicago".

[theis]

Truly an "all killer, no filler" album. I love every single song on it.

"Chicago" is too damn short, though. ALL ABOARD!

[mr.sinister]

Still have to get this. I kind of want to buy the book edition of it.
