Any fans on here?
I know he's not the most publicised artist, but I think he's brilliant.
Hey, if people can start threads about Dragonforce, I can do it for Tom Waits! tongue out

"Raindogs" & "Swordfishtrombones" do it for me.

One word of warning though, as Waits once said - "no-one ever got laid 'cos he owned a Tom Waits album - I should know, I've got all of 'em"

The 'Brawlers, Bawlers & bds' collection is a very fine thing cool

He's a funny man, have you seen his press conference that was on youtube for a while?

That's great, I first found out about Tom Waits through on screen stuff, if people haven't seen it try to catch Jim Jarmusch's Coffee and Cigarettes thing he did with Iggy Pop, just hilarious.
