YAY!!!!



Tom Waits is releasing a new album in October!! Me=Very Happy. Also, Jason dowloaded the "Future Soundtrack of America" album put out by MoveOn.org, which also has a Tom Wait's song on it in which he mentions missing good old Rockford, just south of the Wisconsin border. Whaaa? I am very amused at this nice, yet puzzling, shout out. Although right now I technically posess the MoveOn album illegally, I do intend to purchase a real copy just because I like those guys so darn much.

  1. Tracey, I know you've had a tough time getting out to see movies, but have you yet seen Coffee and Cigarettes? There is a GREAT scene with Tom Waits & Lou Reed that still makes me laugh when I think about it. The whole movie is outstanding, but that particular scene is my personal favorite!

  2. I'm looking forward to that Waits album myself. Speaking of Coffee and Cigarettes, it is playing in Rockford right now. You should get someone to babysit and go see it!
    I'm going to pick up that Move On album next week. I'm looking forward to it. McSweeney's is putting out a companion book entitled "The Future Dictionary of America" that comes with the cd, so I may order that.

  3. To answer both of you: No, I unfortunately have not seen Coffee and Cigarettes yet, and Yes, Yes, Yes, I should really get a babysitter and see it in Rockford soon! I've seen the trailer and the Waits scene looks hilarious. Isn't he in it with Iggy Pop though? I can't remember.

  4. D'oh! Yes yes, it's Iggy Pop. My bad. But Lou Reed would have probably been equally entertaining. :)
