Yikes!!!
I think (hope!) that what he's saying is it would be scary if McCain won.
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That's definitely what he's saying. See: "Road to Peace," "Sins of the Father," "Hoist that Rag"...
That interview of Tom on Tom hits on so many things in my book I should just use it as an index.
Also, check out how red his hair is in that picture. He's been dying it since the 80s, and I think he went clean shaven because his beard is all white.
He'll be 60 next year.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Radiohead Post-Apocalyptic Alt-Rock Opera.
Thirty complete RADIOHEAD songs, played one after another, replace the regular audio of 1976 sci-fi futurist fantasy LOGAN'S RUN. The 17 parts in sequence cover the whole thing.

Going back a ways - Juliebird, I think that version of Glory Box you're looking for is the "Glory Box (Mudflap Mix)" that is on the two-disc Glory Times (guess it was definitely a better title choice than Sour Box) CD-EP. I'd forgotten that was a two-disc set.

You know, this is silly. If someone could hook me up with buffistarawk, and, dear lord please, some instructions on what to do (I'm a mac user if that makes a difference), I think Juliebird might get the version she is looking for. Profile addy is good.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I educated my cast on the existence of the Scarlett-sings-Tom record. They were... boggled.
Also, this weekend, I got to see Mindless Self Indulgence, and they were made of awesome. Insane awesome.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I thought it was an interesting experiment musically. It really focused on Tom's melodies and built a layered pop album around them. A couple songs worked, but not because of her vocals which were supremely characterless and did not really dig into the lyrics.
Holly Cole did an album of Tom Waits songs a few years back and though it was with a fairly standard jazz lineup, she really got the lyrics and did a great job with them.
I guess I should remind people that I put up a ton of Tom Waits covers at Buffistarawk in a variety of styles. So if you're curious about his music but can't get past his voice...check it out.
