tom's wait
I don't think that I have ever mentioned how much I like Tom Waits. Not much to say about him, other than I like him. I like his early stuff when he seemed to be aiming to be another Jackson Browne or maybe Billy Joel. Then something happened to him, and his music changed course becoming increasingly experimental and, dare I say it, jazzy. He has managed to produce some great music, despite the fact that his once lovely voice disappeared many years ago. A couple of years ago he released two albums at the same time, Blood Money and Alice. Both are great albums well worth a listen to. This is All The World Is Green from Blood Money, and this is No One Knows I'm Gone from Alice.
For some reason, some people really don't like him. This made me laugh.

Ah fantastic. Heartattack & Vine is one of my favourite ever tracks and yet I don't have it... If you could "do the business" I'd be ever so grateful. Migh even send Nala from Suicide Girls round to thank you for me.

Thanks. Nala should be there presently. Treat her well, and with respect!

She'll get the bloody boot if she arrives on my doorstep! Well, obviously I'd do the decent thing and give her some proper clothes to wear first. Oh and something to eat as well, we're a long way from slapper city (and a fair stretch from the cheating side of town) and I'd have to fortify her for the journey back.

Please accept my apologies for my thoughtless and tasteless remarks. I am sure you are perfectly lovely.
