Oz ,'Same Time, Same Place'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Also, can't wait for the covers....
It's pretty awe inspiring to hear the range of genres that his songs work with. Blues and jazz and weimar cabaret, of course, but also country and pop and punk. The Jeffrey Lee Pierce is straight up rap and it works perfectly (because Tom's all about the rhythm and the worldplay).
David, I've got Nora O'Connor doing "Looks Like I'm Up Shit Creek Again" -- do you want it? I like it quite a bit.
As soon as I find my copy of Marianne Faithful's Strange Weather
I have that -- even included "Penthouse Serenade" on one Buffistamix. What would you like? I'll send it/them to you. (After work, I mean.) Btw, did you get the Berger book? Get as in receive; I'm sure you grok Berger's mouth music.

Please! Shoot it to me.
Joe, if you could just send me "Strange Weather" you'd save me the trouble of digging up my living room.
I have not received the Berger as yet. ::looks suspiciously at mailbox::
Please! Shoot it to me.
OK, insent to your gmail address.

Crud. Corwood, did you get the book I sent you? Because if you didn't then maybe I'm spacing out, but I'm sure I sent them at the same time. And I think it was a couple weeks ago.
Oh, well. Check buffistarawk for something I think you'll enjoy.
ETA: I'll send "Strange Weather" when I get home.
"I'm working on the ding dang book so this cost is totally justified news"
At a minimum, it's tax deductable!
I got the book & CD, Joe. I thought I'd emailed you a word of thanks, but if I didn't, THANKS! Are you checked email semi-regularly again?
Just got back from Amoeba with a stack of Tom Waits and the Five Blind Boys of Alabama. Cor, erika - I presume their version of "Way Down In the Hole" is one of the ones used for The Wire?
It's really interesting listening to Tom Waits the Early Years (v. 1-2). He never sucked. Also his voice was conventional and pleasing if a little reedy back then. You can really hear the guy who started in folk clubs here. It's a little like Ramblin' Jack Elliott, little like Dan Hicks without the hot licks.
