I brought in Closing Time, Foreign Affairs, Rain Dogs, Franks Wild Years, and Mule Variations to work. So far, none of my co-workers have ventured into my area yet.

Happy Birthday Tom!

:
You know, the funny thing is, I've been listening to a lot of Tom Waits recently. I must have instinctively known or something

Blood Money is one that I've had for a little while, buy only just this week realized how brilliant it is. So brilliant that I just dangled a participle...

Bone Machine is another one I've dusted off. I tend to rotate 3 Tom Waits albums on my Ipod, and right now it's the "Killer B's", the two I've mentioned plus the old classic Blue Valentine

To one of the most important artists in modern music, Happy Birthday! :

awesome, happy bday to him

you know, first time I heard him was his "Little Drop Of Poison" from Shrek II, silly as that may seem, I love that song

If anyone is interested an NPR interview with Waits from October 2004.

Will have to rememer to drink some Single Malt for the man.

ah sweet. how old is he now? 200?

Good point. Am the only one, who didn't think it was much of a stretch for Waits to play Renfield in Coppola's Dracula?

how much did you get for that part, stachmo?

So....now I am Tom Waits?

oh sorry. i could have sworn that was you.
