In his role as guest presenter on the Daily Planet, Tom Waits reveals his favourite recording ever, how Motown choreography is like Hula Dancing and how 'Everything is permitted' as he guest presents and programs the Daily Planet and chats with Lucky Oceans.

His playlist includes William Burroughs (singing, can you believe?), Otis Redding, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Bob Dylan, Mary Gauthier, Elvis Presley, Alex Chilton and Los Lobos.

Missed it but about to listen to it now ! Lucky Oceans is normally a very good interviewer.

Tom Waits fans, he will be appearing live on Letterman and Jimmy Fallon this Monday and Tuesday. Pretty big occasion, cant recall seeing any live footage of him playing songs from 'Bad as Me'. Hopefully he cranks out Hell Broke Luce.

One of those artists who I don't think I'll ever truly come to terms with their back catalogue.

It used to be Nick Cave but I think I've finally transitioned from part-time listener to fan. Hopefully I can do the same with Waits.

I love Rain Dogs and FWIW think Alice is a criminally underrated album.

As rare a musician as there has ever been. 'Bad as Me' surpassed all expectations and is already a classic.

I still haven't listened to every Waits album which is exciting.

Chicago was pretty sweet on letterman. it was a more chill slowed down version.

Raised right men of Fallon though, HOLY SHIT. This was the buisness!

My latest favourite off Bad as Me, Kiss Me. So simple yet so beautiful. Damn, that's a great album...

 

[mansize rooster]

i hope he does not take another 8 years to follow it up
but then if he decided that was it with Bad As Me i would be happy really. what a run

 

[skilts]

He sounds more like Captain Beefheart every day. Not a bad thing mind you.
