How the hell has Bad as Me not leaked yet?


Might be my favorite interview ever.

[Hannahrain]

I was trying to guide you into a thread where it was already being discussed. Nobody understands me.

[Hannahrain]

Stop editing and nahditing yourself every few minutes. I can do a decent enough job of making myself look like a crazy person without your help.

[Gribbz]

I was going to bump the "Tom Waits Hints Tour" thread, but decided against it.

EMBRACE MY THREAD, HANNAH.

[Hannahrain]

I was going to embrace it, but I decided to build a near-identical robotic surrogate and embrace that instead because we live in an infinite space and there's very little reason not to fill it with excess. He and I are talking about how Tom Waits hints tour.

[Gribbz]

I'm also listening to the Glitter & Doom live album for the first time and it's quite fantastic.


EDIT* On the deluxe edition there's an extra track with just Tom talking to the crowd. It's over 30 minutes long.

[sbessiso]

yes please

AMAZING

[stinkbutt]

I would love to see either of these songs live someday

[Theijuiel]

Local bar here called "Lovecraft" has a Tom Waits night on the first Tuesday of the month. Fuck yeah.

I got codes if anybody needs 'em. PM me.

[rage patton]

3 songs in and it is great so far. Thanks Zach.

[rage patton]

Just finished the album. I think I am going to have to listen to it a few more times. I definitely enjoyed it, and upon first listen my favorite tracks are "Chicago," "Talking At The Same Time," "Bad As Me," and "Hell Broke Luce," but I feel he retreads a lot of familiar ground here.

[IceyHotshot]

I am not very familiar with Tom Waits - only heard a couple albums - and I love this.

[ZachTheEskimo]

Glad you liked it Rage. I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet. School all day.

[schoolofruckus]

It's definitely not reinventing his sound at all, but as a collection of more Tom Waits songs, it's terrific.

[rage patton]

It's definitely not reinventing his sound at all, but as a collection of more Tom Waits songs, it's terrific.

On my second listen though, and I agree with this completely. Also, I don't know how I missed it the first time, but "Get Lost" may be not only the best song on the album, but one of the best songs of the year.

[Gribbz]

Just got home. Time to listen to this bad boy.

Do I need a password?

[thefunkylama]

I have three more invite codes, if anyone needs.

[Gribbz]

Yes.

[rage patton]

Yes.

Did you get the text I sent you earlier today?

[thefunkylama]

...are we settled or are you getting my last code?

[Gribbz]

I need one. I'd rather not wait for Zachtheeskimo to get home from school or whatever.

[Hannahrain]

I don't understand how you don't have one after starting a thread about how to get them. But, I have some too, so if anybody still needs one, let me know. Starting my first listen now. I'm excited.

So good.

[Gribbz]

I signed up and received nothing. It appears many had the same problem.

Thanks, Alma. Enjoying it so far.

[Hannahrain]

Tom clearly reads this board and has chosen favorites. Did you get Alma's, or are you still waiting?

Goddamn you editing your posts after the fact and making me look like an idiot. I don't like that.

[Gribbz]

No longer waiting. I have 5 extra codes if anybody would like one.
