I know. (I'm also using Kriston's computer.)

I would also add that the entire album that song comes from (Rain Dogs) is great and, IMO, one of Waits' best.

Oh, wait, I knew Ribot played guitar on the album (because Rhapsody told me so), but wikipedia says he doesn't play on this song.

Yeah, it's a great album. One hopes that posting songs motivates people to follow-up, although I don't know if that ever happens.

Oh, really? Huh. Well, he plays banjo on other songs of Waits'.

My 88-year-old grandmother just kicked my ass at bridge. It's too late in the evening for a hot bath, so I think I'll probably turn in. It's been a couple of years since I've reread Uncle Dynamite, anyway. I'll just brew up some nice herbal tea and call it a night.

Have fun at your orgy, assholes.

are you sure she didn't accidentally break suit? (it's that grandmother, right?) demand a recount!

She did at least once that I noticed. It wouldn't have changed anything, so I didn't say anything.

I tried to learn that song on banjo. That's some fucking eee-zee banjo. Never did actually learn it though. It's one of those "Ah, play whatever you want" songs, along with all the rest I guess.

"Left Waukeegan at the slammin' of the door" has to be one of my favorite lyrics.

I'm not sneezing, but I'll hiccup with ya.

I just 'discovered' Terry Allen's Juarez. I can't imagine why it took so long: I've had Texican Badman for decades.

Back to bed, see y'all later.

i don't understand this preference here to strained voices
why hoarseness is held in such high esteem
when voice is strained i can't derive any pleasure from listening i think something like
laryngitis perhaps or some weird growth on the cords

this site is constantly hacked or what
had no idea who John Clare was
so he was Esenin of his time and country
can't enjoy fully his poetry, my english fluency etc
hope you'll enjoy this clip about Esenin

Better than "Psycho drinking whiskey in church"? Please.

So what's going on in DC this afternoon? Perfectly G Delightful's event was cancelled, pretty much, and I'm free between now and the party. Anyone?

You're not alone with your snot, you fucker. I don't know how you did it, but you infected me with your germs via the internet. Maybe there really are tubes involved.
