I just started listening to Real Gone over the past few days and it's one of the best records I've heard in a long time. I can't believe I didn't listen to this when it came out. I'd tried to listen to Tom before to mixed results, but real gone has won me over.
Anyone else a fan? Should i check raindogs next?

Always good to learn. Tom Waits is the man.

That sucks. I've had that happen to me before. Bands come to my area, and then just shortly later I rwealize how amazing they are and how affordable their shows would have been ahd I attended. Oh well. They all come back. You just have to wait a little while.

He's a pretty cool guy. Don't forget to check out his acting in Down by law too.
The first time I saw him was on a UK television show called The Tube about 20 years ago. Tom Waits is the kind of artist you remember discovering.

I'll remember one day hearing chocolate jesus for the first time and then learning the chords and recording a cover with a firend about an hour later. Then a few months later I've listened to real gone and did some cool drawings.

first time i heard him was actually on my way to a DFA1979 concert. odd... anyways it was on Sean Cullen's (the comedian) radio show on the CBC. i didn't like his voice then. it was also the last time i heard him (this was a couple of years ago though..)

my favorite tom waits movie role has gotta be as himself in "coffee and cigarettes"
i've posted this picture before: ![]() brilliant! anyway i like his stuff; im not a huge fan or collector but i enjoy it. back in the early 90s i knew this hippy chick who carried around a cassette with "diamonds on my windshield" on it. that's what got me-- the phrase "colder than a welldigger's ass"-- & the bass-- i think these are the lyrics: Well these diamonds on my windshield And these tears from heaven Well I'm pulling into town on the Interstate I got a steel train in the rain And the wind bites my cheek through the wing And it's these late nights and this freeway flying It always makes me sing There's a Duster tryin' to change my tune He's pulling up fast on the right Rolling restlessly by a twenty-four hour moon And a Wisconsin hiker with a cue-ball head He's wishing he was home in a Wiscosin bed But there's fifteen feet of snow in the East Colder then a welldigger's ass And it's colder than a welldigger's ass Oceanside it ends the ride with San Clemente coming up Those Sunday desperadoes slip by and cruise with a dry back And the orange drive-in the neon billin' And the theatre's fillin' to the brim With 'Slave Girls' and 'Hot Spurs' an' 'Bucket Full Of Sin' Metropolitan area with interchange and connections Fly-by-nights from Riverside And out of state plates running a little late But the sailors jockey for the fast lane So 101 don't miss it There's rolling hills and concrete fields And the broken line's on your mind The eights go east and the fives go north And the merging nexus back and forth You see your sign, cross the line, signalling with a blink And the radio's gone off the air Gives you time to think And you hear the rumble As you fumble for a cigarette And blazing through this midnight jungle Remember someone that you met And one more block; the engine talks Whispers 'home at last' It whispers 'home at last' Whispers 'home at last' It whispers 'home at last' Whispers 'home at last' And there are diamonds on my windshield And these tears from heaven Well I'm pulling into town on the Interstate I got me a steel train in the rain And the wind bites my cheek through the wing Late nights and freeway flying Always makes me sing It always makes me sing (Hey look here Jack, ok) |

I've been on a huge Tom Waits kick recently. I just picked up Small Change, Closing Time, Heartattack and Vine, and Nighthawks At The Diner. The latter two are my favorites of the lot.

A confession of insanity then. haha Rain Dogs, Heartattack & Vine, and swordfishtrombones are his best. I liked Real Gone, but like everything else these days, it just didn't live up to the hype. Although, I did rank it as one of the best of '04. I think I posted an mp3 once of his Chocolate Jesus performance on Letterman. It was in a thread where I was describing that I had played it on the stereo at a party prompting numerous requests to please change the music. |

Yeah, I love the guy. Check out Rain Dogs, it's a good idea. But don't forget to pick up Blue Valentine, a very fine album, that nobody have mentioned yet.

Tom Waits is great. Can't believe no one mentioned Bone Machine in this thread. Everything Tom Waits touches is great. Although, I wasn't a fan ofCoffee and Cigarettes - thought it was a boring pile of dung.
