Red Mosquito

I used to hate it Bone Machine as a kid, i just didnt get it...Going Out West was the only song i liked. And then one day, That Feel changed that and i became obsessed.

I remember when I started thinking this way about Reality, and then a decade later, totally out of the blue, The Next Day showed up. Then a couple of years later I heard the title track from Blackstar in a coffee shop and did some quick googling and found that another Bowie album was going to be released. Then it was. Then he died.

RIP

I miss Bowie so much.

Spotify reminding me right now that I really, really hate the Mule Variations remaster.

I haven't listened to it. But I'm not a big fan of the Real Gone remaster and hate that the original version isn't on Spotify. Thank god I've got the vinyl.

Mule isn’t the absolute crime that the Real Gone remaster is, but in all of those reissues they pushed his voice so far forward that they undercut the atmosphere, tenuousness, and spontaneity that defines the musicianship in his post-Franks work. It also demolishes what were often essential additions...the horns in Come On Up to the House are distant and buried, for example.

Is Tom done Waiting, yet?!

Is it ever OK for a person to lie?
It’s part of the creative process. You have to learn how to lie, and to lie well, in order not to be detected.

Those were great, thanks for the link!

Also, loving this pic. I was listening to Blue in Green when I saw it and it just fit perfectly in the mood:

Very good news for Strat

Rhino is releasing a box set with material by The Replacements which includes five tracks featuring Tom Waits.

Yeah but it's on CD.

and cassette! Lol. Classic 'mats move.

Hopefully it will all be on streaming though. I love Tom's contributions to "Date to Church". Perfectly howling in the background.

Regardless, super excited about this boxset and can't wait to hear this version of Dont Tell a Soul on Vinyl.
