Friend of mine years ago had an ex named Tony. Used to bark "Tony's Theme" at him whenever he was in town.

Don't think he was a fan of The Pixies. Or me  :laugh:

Think anyone named Tony who was Pixies fan adjacent was subject to that.🤣


As it should be  :abbath:  :laugh:

Fuck it, might stick SR/COP on now.

I'm nearly due a listen to Nebraska again. There's something fairly bleak about it. Never really got into anything else he has but that one clicked with me for some reason

only tangentially related here but it was the combo of bleak "one and done" sort of albums:

I don't have a huge amount of time for Tom Waits, he's grand and all but it just never clicked, except for "Closing Time" which I absolutely fuckin adore and it is entirely because it landed in my lap at a very bizarre part of my life where I was almost homeless living in Vancouver and I was putting down evenings staring out someone else's kitchen window at a sort of grey and brown suburb, chain smoking and listening to that off a laptop I had salvaged back to life just to keep a hard drive of music going, bumming around taking shortcuts across train tracks to work in the mornings with it on the headphones, sitting out in the crispy weather outside a laundromat drinking a can waiting for the clothes to be done of an evening with that album in my ears, pure frozen in time sort of shit and that album was the soundtrack to the whole buzz.  Anyway

Closig Time is fantastic, one of my favourites. A friend of mine named his pub in Galway after a track on it, and many's an evening I spent in his flat listening to Waits. All of the '70s stuff is class, I drop off after that. The '80s stuff does nothing for me, hit and miss from the '90s on but that run from Closing time to Blue Valentine is something else.

Love Tom Waits, outta the 80's material Swordfishtrombones and Rain Dogs are up there I'm also quite partial to 92"s Bonemachine.

Blood Money and Mule Variations are great post 90s Waits albums. 70s and 80s stuff is obviously unreal. Everything I listen to by him I like.

The Ol' 55? Always assumed that's what it had to be. Big choon.

I had a couple of songs from Closing Time on the other evening funnily enough. I haven't listened to Tom Waits in years. Some great songs, no doubt.
