Mule Variations is a masterpiece.

I was always partial to Bone Machine - both the Tom Waits album and the Pixies song

Looks like his piano's been drinking.

A masterpiece, as with many of his albums. Christmas Card From a Hooker in Minneapolis is a professional lesson in storytelling.

Jesus. Now I've got to stop what I'm doing and listen to that one. That's been my favorite song for a decade lol

After watching Elvis, I have an inkling that there’s a correlation between musicians being holed up in Vegas hotels for these long term residencies and some unhealthy coping choices. I know it sounds crazy.

I love every second of it, but it was regarded at the time (1999) as kind of “meh” by the critics. I still think of it as “new” Tom Waits.
HanMaBoogie t1_j2eij3q wrote
Swordfishtrombones and Rain Dogs are also for you, then. It is my favorite era, though I love every album and every style he’s performed.

I love the twist ending.

This was actually in Santa Monica and he didn't have a residency. Tom Waits lived there.
jgilz t1_j2emav1 wrote
For sure. Tom Waits is a national treasure
kstinfo t1_j2eqxj4 wrote
I remember reading an interview where he said on his tours he stayed at a national chain, "Rooms To Let".

There’s a Tropicana hotel in Santa Monica?
tomwaste t1_j2f0hoy wrote
I have no idea if it's still there but he lived in a hotel by that name in the seventies.
