Last week my brother tipped me off to this wonderful little tidbit from Tom Waits, who many folks may not know, but he's an incredible and unique musician. This year I've been particularly taken with two tracks of his, "Old 55," a song from his incredibly debut album, Closing Time, and "Hoist That Rag" from the more recent an haunting 2004 release Real Gone. He's come out with a new one, and below you can check out the press conference for his upcoming tour. You'll get not only a brief introduction to Tom and his enjoyable antics, but also a fun new vocab word!
