Tom Waits | The Ghost of Saturday Night
After I quit drinking, it took me a couple of years until I could listen to Tom Waits again. His was my drinking music of choice. If he has managed 15+ years without a drink himself, I assume it’s now safe to listen.
Clap Hands | Tom Waits
Today is a Tom Waits kind of day.
Mashup of the Day: From the promising-sounding just-launched YouTube channel cookiewaits comes this glorious meant-to-be-mashup featuring Cookie Monster singing Tom Waits’ “God’s Away on Business.”
The cramazing concoction’s creator says:
Tom Waits sometimes sounds eerily like Cookie Monster. Not that I mind! I happen to love Waits and his carnival barker’s growl!
YouTube Comment of Note: “Have you ever seen Cookie Monster and Tom Waits in the same room at the same time?”

Song Of The Day #115
The Piano Has Been Drinking- Tom Waits
// Tom Waits - (Looking For) The Heart Of Saturday Night
This song is one of my favourite Tom Wait songs and comes from my favourite Tom Waits album. Can’t say that I care overmuch for his more recent discordant noise albums.
