The cabaret atmosphere and many of Waits instrumentations put him squarely in genre with Weill & Brecht. When the vanDruten/Isherwood/Kander/Ebb "Cabaret" is re-done, I can see any number of Waits' pieces fitting (too) well.

Meanwhile .. love the brief glimpse we get, above, of Tom ...

Complaint: I can't find anything wrong with this, at all, and I think I love it so much, I think it is going to continue to bug me for a very long time. Just like that girl, that one from high school .. she

@dgfutg Raisin yur son on heavy doses of TomWaits? You shud be raported to The Authorities .. yu no .. them's in charge of Bedder Kwality Edgamakashin, an yu learn'em sumpin gud, eh? Keep it up, for sure, mang, an yul turn him out to be a Happy Fella, anywhere he goes, anything he does; even if...

She is the Catherine Deneuve of her day.

There are, indeed, some interesting qualities in her singing voice; more evident here, than in some others on YT.

Yet to hear much (octave) range, but that would be expecting too much of any such gifted person.

Classic Eagles treatments. Nice cover, couple years after Tom Waits' Closing Time

A kid with a clue about the crap their peers gorge on, who steps onward, outward, outside the main sewer system, and LISTENs to OtherMusic - that Kid is, in my opinion, fully welcome to say "I am [x yrs old, and am] not trapped by my years (or by BigMusic over-rotation, or by JustinBieber'sBangs)...

They are both a little famous. This song should have been the one to lift them both above TheNoise for a little better recognition. Lech also plays piano+.

Would you like some tee -ee -ee eee eeeee eeeeeeeeeeea ? Heeeeheeheehee ! Eeewraghyoit.

How many "Furthur/Further" buses got paint, crewes and commuted to communes?

R.I.P. Owsley. Peace be upon you, Kesey. Go with [more] gods, Cassidy.

The spiral bound booklet at 1:10 is not a Taco John publication.

It is Willis' own.

As he shares it with the employee, it is open to a page with lyrics imploring us to

"Suck my doberman's dick".

Most excellent angel, Wesley Willis!

"Rock on Heaven!"

@BowserTheSecond - Yes, but not in front of the wife & kids; in that case, you are just a big suck. Now stifle your snuffling, I am trying to listen to these beautiful sirens' song.

You say Tuesday. I say Thursday.

Let's call the whole thing off.

Then, \while we are waiting for the lawyers,

what better ambient soundscapery than Eno, Budd, Lanois, et al ?

Eagerly awaits Wagner's complete Ring cycle.

Singer's numbing beauty vies w/this riptide piece. The music wins. Fiona Apple owns this, to the glory of Declan "Elvis Costello" MacManus

Side note to the parasites at her label during "Extraordinary Machine":

"We don't hear a hit", you said.

You do not deserve the obscene riches which you du...

Thanks Ella. Without the 'Nobody' detour; parts of this would have kept it in my top five fave renditions.

Cher did the movie outro, produced by Sonny, for 1966 Michael Caine film "Alfie"

Cilla Black owns this great song, for those who "get" the movie.

Dionne Warwick owns it for all other circ...

@Sweetjuniperberry - close, but no turnip greens for you. That's Mister Ed.

Critique: Now that you know the notes, and are likely to continue to please most audiences with this elusive delight, let me suggest you address the breath pauses which are the challenge of any flautist[e]. Then, as you may benefit from other players' renditions, especially harpists, please consi...

Both Debussy and his mentor Satie disliked being called "impressionist", in their own day. Satie billed himself as a "phonometrician" (meaning "someone who measures sounds")

I believe, from a century's distance, and no witness, that Debussy was by far the stronger performer, and works from eithe...

Satie & protege Debussy rued associations put upon them by their peers, of being 'impressionists'.

I vote YES on these visuals, tho' because any other imagery would be, at best, arbitrary.

As for the piece: technically strong, but like so many, lacks subtleties which defy musical notation. A pe...

I believe they should make room for this recalcitrant visionary up in the hollowed hells of the Ontario Dept. of Justice; specifically, the office of The Attorney General.

[pause for titterings of those who remember ThePsychoticCourier incident with a previous Ont.Atty.Gen.]

Ontario has a repu...

They saved a lot of money by recording these videos on location at the Spaghetti Western Studios in Calabria, Italy.

In the uncensored version, their tassels may go in different directions, but even those are still out-of-sync with the groovy syncopations, man.

No extra charge, pardner.
