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'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

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.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I actually like this - I feel dirty.

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.

Oh! Good reminder! I'd forgotten about those being there.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Question! There's an oscillator/generator pop song...does anyone know who the band is? Googling not helping. Need song!
Hec? Help?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
That's the one I would have picked.
