BUMP!

Got the chance to see Mister Waits again coming up on July 5th on what is termed his "Glitter'n'Doom Tour." Paid $125 for a single ticket. But you know what? I don't care. Hold on--I'll post the link and pics where he's going to play and you'll understand why it's all worth it.

Listening to Raindogs right now. So part of my life at 16, 19 and so many years after....

He's playing near me later that month but Too Expensive :-(

I was wandering around town with the Orphans Bawlers disc on the ipod this morning. Just right for the sultry, humid weather we are having now.

Yeah, I was so tempted by shlepping over to Paris or Dublin for one of the shows there. But it's a bit too expensive and I can't spare the time, really. Quite why he's not playing London I don't understand.

Saw him in London in 2004 and now have tickets to see him twice in Paris in July. Can't wait!! Will post up my thoughts here afterwards.

Set lists online have looked pretty awesome so far.

Besides Nick Cave, he is the one musician in my life I can truly term as brilliant.

I've said it for over a decade now and I'm sure I've said it in this particular thread, Tom Waits is my patron saint and I would have no other.

Dear Barbelith:

The Tom Waits show this evening was nothing short of fan-fucking-tastic. I will post more thoughts on it later but I am so exhausted from this outing that if I don't go to bed soon then I will likely pass out here on the keyboard.

Love you guys. Will tell you more when something like serious sleep has occurred.

Yours, Kali

Eek! A Freek!

I wish I wish I wish I wish Ol' Tom makes it either here or to Montreal this year.... It's doubtful, though...

I will content myself with Nick Cave in October.

Please fill in the details of the show...

Taken from the Eyeball Kid, the set list from Atlanta, Ga:

Lucinda / Take me down to the well (or was it Ain't Going Down to the Well?)
Down in the hole
Falling down
Chocolate Jesus
All the world is green
Cemetery Polka
Cause of it all / 'Til the money runs out
Such a scream
November
Hold on
Black market baby
9th and Hennepin
Lie to me
Lucky day
On the nickel
Lost in the harbour
Innocent when you dream
Hoist that rag
Make it rain
Dirt in the ground
Get behind the mule
Hang down your head
Jesus gonna be here
Singapore

Crap, I forgot:

He ended with these two numbers and we all bloody sang along:

Eyeball Kid
Anywhere I lay my head

Anywhere I Lay My Head?
For real?

I'm so broke I'll never make it to Paris but now i can even feel exhilarated by just imagining the thing!!!

At the moment my favourite Tom Waits song is "Goin out West", because I love the big balls and I can identify with the character.
I really envy you. Tom doesen't appear in Norway often.

I was really jealous, cos one of my mates is going to Paris to see him... but then I went to see Leonard Cohen this evening and I feel a bit better about things now.
