We have a lot of fun together.
It was definitely one of the biggest revelations of the "LAL to the Waits albums" exercise for me.
Me too.
It might be the greatest gift Stip's ever given me.
Well .... that and a pair of testicles...
I had a great LAL via Vinyl on Swordfish tonight...
That album just ends without any bang whatsoever. I really feel you have to listen to the trilogy to get any sense of satisfaction with this one. I fucking love a handful of tracks but overall it just wont do it for me.
You and I are on a roll tonight, friend, because it's easily my favorite of "the trilogy."

This is like a real relationship! Ups and downs!
Why is this your favorite....?
I just love the collection of songs, mostly. For me, there just isn't a bummer in the bunch. It's concise. It's lyrical. It has fantastic range. It flows really well. FWY is a bit messy, and Rain Dogs isn't messy enough. There isn't a single song that I skip On Swordfish, and I can't pick a favorite. Every time a song starts I think, This one is my favorite! But then the next song comes on and I think, No, THIS one is my favorite.
the track was available for listening about three weeks ago (maybe it was just for a couple of days though).
because i wasn't familiar with Shenandoah, i was hoping this was some kind of aye-aye drunken pirates sea-chantey kind of thing that one could easily expect from a Waits/Richards collaboration so i was disappointed

I played it at work. One of my co-workers (a huge Waits fan) loved it. Another co-worker (someone who doesn't know Waits at all) laughed out loud. He thought it was a joke. The other co-worker and I just couldn't explain it to him.
