It's better. I will stick to old Tom Waits. Is it all quiet rainy day music though?

Fun fact: Tom Waits is credited on an Atmosphere album. He does the beatbox on The Waitress (@1:18, I think he also wrote some of the instrumental parts for the song too).

I don't really like it, but I can see the difference in his vocals. He actually sounds like he's singing in those songs. Did something happen to his voice over the years?

He still sings like that sometimes. I think he feels more comfortable with the harsher voice, though. I like both, but can see how the madder stuff could be a bit of a hard sell.

i'm not a huge fan but anybody who writes a song as good as downtown train is okay in my book.

he acts on occasion, they really need to get him on sons of anarchy as ron perlman's long-lost brother.

I was kinda getting into the explanations offered by Mr. Black, and Topo and Nieto...like, okay, maybe I can dig that. And then, I watched this video. And then, I watched the actual video for it. And now, I'm sorta back where I was before.

Yeah, I was afraid of that. I actually know him much better as an actor than a musician. He plays a pretty good Devil.

No. If I'd done that I would have spoken to myself, censored random words, cursed out Time-Warner and/or The LSH and ended by manfully appreciating some football player or Real World cast mate over and over.
