Does that sound familiar?
Ah-ha! Yes, it does. I think I've seen it maybe twice.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
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.

Part of my admiration for Kate is that she could've been a succesful pop star being much more conventional and playing off her voice and looks. But she lets her inner goofball run rampant.
It's still rampant on Aerial. This is an album that includes songs about Elvis (and is he happy if he's still alive?), the digits of pi, her son Bertie (it's wonderful, just her and a Renaissance guitar), Joan of Arc, and the plastic coral city in her fish tank. It has a song about a woman doing her laundry that includes the lyrics "Slooshy, sloshy, slooshy, sloshy" (she's being the washing machine, see...), and a whole second disk that's a song cycle about a lovely afternoon, followed by a beautiful sunset, a nice evening, sleeping through the night, and getting up to greet the dawn. That's right, an entire set of songs about one half turn around the Earth's axis. Kate Bush is adorkable.

What is the source on that Tom Waits tour info, C.I.? I cannot find anything and ticketmaster gives me no love. Mostly I just want to find out how soon I can buy tickets since the Chicago date is so close.

The source is Phil Freeman, who wrote a cover article on Tom Waits for The Wire last year and is close to his publicist. I didn't see anything on the Waits website, so I'll let you know if I hear anything further.

Aha. I just found this: [link]
That was some intensive googling to get that. Whew!
Tickets for Chicago go on sale July 14th (hello b-day present!) or 15th.
Thanks for the heads up!
