Far and away the very definition of cool.

Rain Dogs is my favorite record of all time. Bone Machine is up there as well.

Something scares me, though. Not counting theatre work, the last three records have been Bone Machine -> Mule Variations -> Real Gone.

I can totally see the progression there...Bone Machine is syncopated and aggressive, Mule Variations is a dirtier, gentler take on that....sort of folk music for after the apocolypse...and I can draw a clear line from some of the work there to Real Gone (though I'd never have dreamed he'd take it that far). The question is....if that's the progression we're seeing, my god, what comes next?

It keeps me awake at night. I am afraid.

I think Tom Waits would actually survive the end of the world to sing about it, if he hasn't already

Aren't there like 5 Waits threads already? Not that he doesn't deserve more.

I love everything this guy ever does. Music, acting, everything. The epitome of cool.

every single one of his albums are good. really. if you want late night, jazzy, drinking music go for any of his early albums and if you want just pure craziness go for any of his later albums.

start with Rain Dogs (at least I did)

His style takes some getting used to sometimes

Tom Waits IS the end of the world. Bone Machine is the end of it all, and...as I mentioned...Mule Variations is folk music for the cancer-ridden, mutated survivors. Of which there will be few.
