I'm listening to Tom Waits' new album Real Gone right now.
Cool!
I just found out Tom Waits' nephew works at our new favorite neighborhood bar. He doesn't like to talk about the family connection evidently...
Kaylee ,'Out Of Gas'
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 have received the Angus and moonlit CDs and will hopefully be ripping them today and passing them along by end of week.

There's a new minimoog, by the way.

That's actually nice to hear - that an analog electronic instrument still can't be completely duplicated by a computer.
One of my bandmates swears by his software-on-a-laptop based synth, but I'm still a little suspicious. However, if you're recording digitally anyway, it's hard to argue that the original analog version will sound noticibly better. And in live club situations, the PA is usually crap so you wouldn't notice a difference there either.
Well, they don't look as cool. Gimme a laptop with wooden side-panels, and I might have to give in.
