Fri, 10 Feb 2012 02:24:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Drunk Country http://songbytoad.com/2007/11/musichome/#comment-1809 Drunk Country Tue, 27 Nov 2007 14:19:43 +0000 http://songbytoad.com/2007/11/02/musichome/#comment-1809 I'm going to have a bit of fun with it, too. Expect personal favourites, no obvious-obvious choices (except maybe one or two simply 'cos they plump my heart), with a tracklist spanning his entire career — minus <b> Alice</b>, which is an LP I really can't get into, <b>One From The Heart</b>, there're too many lush string-piled ballads on the playlist already, & the Gavin Bryers' collaboration <b>Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet</b>, simply too long a piece & would be butchery to cut it down to showcase Waits' contribution. I have mocked up a special 'Waitsian' intro for the show (complete with me troll-grumbling like a festering tit - eee it were fun) & I intend to get shitfaced on Whiskey & fags for the night. Step right up! I’m going to have a bit of fun with it, too.

I have just bought every Waits vinyl I can possibly lay my grotty little hands on. Waits on vinyl, a whopping gin and an ever-increasing sense of nostalgic sentimentality makes for the ultimate night if you ask me. Well, that and banging the life out of a couple of cut-price North African prostitutes until your foreskin's so sore you can't even scratch your balls anymore. My fucking hero!
