@2ndnickthegreek992 This one too.

@ImYourDeity My thanks. I'll check this one out.
-
@abcshopper Try listen to Rosie (closing time), Downtown Train, Jockey full of Bourbon and Chocolate Jesus. Hope you like them!
-
@abcshopper I really appreciate you having the guts to be a man and apologize. Not a lot of people can do that.
If you haven't maybe try listening to the Tom Waits song Little Drop of Poison. It's pretty different than this, and has a lot of depth to it. If you still don't like it, thats fine. I just think you might like that more.

@ImYourDeity After writing that I regretted how I came across. My apologies. It was rude. I tried listening to this a few more times and just can’t get into it. Good for those who can though.

@abcshopper That's pretty rude. I'd be more prone to believe you if you pointed out a bit of evidence. Fact is you can take whatever you want out of his music, he's a dark They Might Be Giants. He sings about being poor, and unloved, and depraved, and if you can't find anything deep about that, then you probably need to look harder. It's an acquired taste my friend, and you can't be an ass just because you don't like it
I actually hated this song at first, but there's more to him than this song

There's a reason someone like this isn't more mainstream. It's not because most people are shallow idiots (although, they really are) – it's because this fucking sucks. Plain and simple. It sucks ass. There's very little ass left to be sucked because Tom Waits sucked it all. He's not deep. He's not daring. He's weird and his music sucks.

Dire.

@Christember Give him a chance. Maybe start with some songs from the Seventies, like Waltzing Matilda, and keep in mind that he uses his voice like an instrument, to underline the lyrics. And he has great lyrics, often very funny, but intelligent, too.

@Ramen1020 He is unique, however vocals usually make or break a band for me, something I just cant overlook, and I find it hard to appreciate his.



@ariya13 You have awesome taste in music for a 15 year old. Kudos! :D
