Waits this all about?

I have stumbled upon something amazing. Something fantastic, something I am wondering how I have never heard before. Tom Waits. Yeah. I saw him on Conan a while back, liked the song he preformed so I jotted down his name. Didn't really think much more about it. Went to Best Buy the other day and was in the mood to spend some cash so I wandered around the CD section, picked up one of his and said what the hell and bought it.

Amazing. It may only be one album I have heard but I am sitting here craving more. I read somewhere that a critic described his voice "like it was soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months and then taken outside and run over with a car." and its true. (and I don't know how to get the bourbon to not be all hyperlink like) There is just something addicting about it. It infects you. It's one of those voices that expresses the emotions of the lyrics without having to hit high notes or holding notes for ten seconds like Kelly Clarkson. It is just so rough sounding.

Must. Buy. More. Must. Get. More. Tom. Waits. I want to get the CD set. Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers and Bastards. But thats something like 40 bucks. and I'm cheap.

I also bought another Michael Buble. CD. hehe. My musical taste is just as much a mystery to me as it might be to you. I love the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I love Garth Brooks. I love classical. I pretty much hate hip hop. I tend to lean more towards the rock.

I also got the fourth season of Wings. Hehehehehe. Hehehehe.

Is it sad I got a giggle out of saying Shiver Mint Timbers! and thinking I was so creative for coming up with that? Yeah...I thought so too.

Also, I've been watching a lot of those shows on TLC, the ones with the people who weigh 700 pounds, and today someone came in who was rather large and I couldn't help but think that maybe some day I'll see them on one of those shows getting their stomach stapled. I know. I;m a bad person.

Well one of the few remaining Studio 60's will be on shortly.
