^^ also my favourite Tom Waits song. But I'm partial to Romeo is Bleeding too, and the whole Blue Valentine album. Also, Franks Wild Years (I w Y D, Hang on St Christopher and Temptation)and The Black Rider.

God, I haven't listened to any of those in toooooooooo long - thank you for the prompt!

Teach Jitterbug Boy to my freshman comp students as a way to get a new perspective on "voice."

Watching the pain on their innocent faces as they listen = priceless.

Also, a great way to find that one student who "gets it" and becomes the teacher's pet

I wanted to ask in the songwriter thread but this should do just as well.

Trip, have you listened to the new moonface album, that is all.

I have not. How is it?

It's pretty good but I don't know if sinaii is a good vehicle for krug. I'm waiting until I see that set up live before I decide one way or the other.

It's not RSL but I still like what he's doing. Two or three songs really impress.
