Where have you gone, Tom Waits?

[out_there]

Okay, yes, it's bad when a post vaguely related to a fandom refers to a fic in the subject line. But, I'm bored. I'm... lackluster. I can barely be bothered using capitals.

(heh. i'm not going to.)

should i know tom waits? seriously, is this a singer i should know? i'm checking my memory and it's coming up empty. i don't know him.

(Oh man, even when I'm the one eschewing the shift key, it still annoys the hell out of me. Back to capitals, people.)

The only reason I'm even curious about Tom Waits is Dan. The adorable way he almost cries when he's told he can't see Tom Waits play.

So, has Tom Waits sung anything famous? Anything I'd recognise? If not, any recommendations? I might see if I can download some music later this week.

I want to know what all the fuss is about.

(He composed for 'Things to do in Denver when you're dead', featuring, of course, Josh Charles!)

Eheheheh. Yes, am easily amused.

Dammit. I just have no idea of his music. I am a sturdy Triple J listener, and his name *feels* like it rings a bell, but I'm not sure if it really does, or if I've just heard it on SN and am unconsciously clinging to it.

It's vaguely irritating. Mainly, it's just that I'm bored (boss is in a meeting) and ... I'm bored.

They don't even play it a lot. He's kind of a niche artist, but what I've heard I like. You might be able to find some of his CD's in your local library (here's me the librarian, but hey! I know what I'm talking about!)

Good idea. I'm a big believer in libraries, although I don't go to my local one as much as I should. (It's guilty conscience. I've let things get *seriously* overdue about three times now, and I feel vaguely guilty about borrowing again... No, it makes no sense.)
