Sounds like a deep album.

Of course. I'm a collector. Duh.

Jagger, He's in SuperHeavy.

Richards (Keith), on the other hand recorded music recently with Tom Waits. And he's not a member of SuperHeavy.

SuperHeavy sucks.

In another thread in which I posted, I stated my point of view that the Stones are still a current band, and others looked to the point that the haven't released much over the past 15 years to argue otherwise. 

I've noticed Tom Waits get a pass though. He didn't release anything from Bone Machine to Mule Variations which is I think an 8 year gap and this new album has a sticker stating this is his first album of new material in 5-7 years. I forget what it said exactly.

from Anti-Music:  Tom Waits has announced the rescheduled dates for appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Waits was originally scheduled to be on both shows in late April, and new dates have been confirmed. Tom will appear on Letterman July 9 and Fallon on July 10.

The music legend will be talking with the hosts and giving the first live performance of songs from his latest recording, "Bad As Me."

Cool band for Tom's TV appearances!



Tom Waits: Two TV appearances this week
The former San Diego troubadour will appear July 9 and 10 on late-night shows


by George Varga

Common wisdom in the music industry dictates that a major artist promote their newest album by making the rounds of late-night TV shows, which tend to draw music-savvy viewers. Happily, there is nothing common about Tom Waits, who likes to do things at his own pace.

So, it makes perfect sense that Waits will next week perform songs for the first time live from his captivating album, "Bad As Me," which came out last October. The former San Diego troubadour and 2011 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee is set to appear Monday, July 9, on "The Late Show with David Letterman" and Tuesday, July 10, on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon."

Waits will be accompanied by his son, Casey, on drums, former Canned Heat/John Mayall bassist Larry Taylor, Los Lobos guitarist David Hidalgo, former Sir Douglas Quintet/Bob Dylan keyboardist Augie Meyers and guitarist Big Bill Morganfield, who is the son of blues pioneer Muddy Waters.

How unlikely is it that Waits will tour any time soon? Unlikely enough that, at least for now, his web site doesn't even include a section for live performances. So, enjoy his two TV rare gigs next week.

Likely bonus attraction: Watching Letterman and Fallon try to get a straight answer out of the slyly elusive Waits when they attempt to interview him on their respective shows.
