I Can't believe I had never heard of Tom Waits

[Paste Human]

I just found out about him a few hours ago. So far so good, although I can't imagine listening to this kind of music for long periods of time, or even frequently. Also until I saw a photo I assumed he was black

mule variations, bone machine and swordfishtrombones are some of the favorite albums of all time. Welcome to the win that is Tom Waits

Cool, thanks. I'll keep an eye out for this hard-on bearer next time I hit up the record store.

[Paste Human]

Oh and I also love that he attached strings to a dumpster to create an instrument (according to a Letterman interview).

[droidspawn]

he has 20+ albums but the most important to pick are:



Small Change

Nighthawks at the Diner

Swordfishtrombones (where the change started)

Rain Dogs

Bone Machne

Mule Variations (my personal favorite)

Bad as Me (just came out last year)

[Holocaust]

His acting roles are badass



Dracula



Wristcutters

I'm listening to the older stuff now. Very nice.



I wonder if Mark Wahlberg has ever been offered to play this hard-on bearer on screen?
