Stuck In Traffic (Unmeaning Flattery)

"When people ask Tom Waits where he's been 'til recently, he tells 'em "stuck in traffic". And, boy, do I ever know what he means."

Tom Waits "Real Gone"

Tom Waits is like that distant uncle who does cool stuff, but you don't know him very well and you don't spend as much time with him as you know you should. For reasons still not clear to me, I've been delaying going through his catalog for years, even though his music is a myriad of fascination. Real Gone is no different, with it's trashy half-breed of a 3AM juke joint vibe and a brilliantly paleolithic interpretation of an ageless dirty, electronic studio.

This music has appeared in 4 blog entries.
