Tom Waits: Bone Machine CitrusFreak12 and I were talking about this album in IRC last weekend, and I thought I'd share two of my favorite songs from it:→[More:]

Black Wings This song was on almost every mixtape I made in the 1990s.

I Don't Wanna Grow Up The Ramones did a great cover of this song.

I'm partial to "Jesus Gonna Be Here" and "Murder In The Red Barn."

When I was touring in the van, driver got to pick their music. One day this poor little thing said when I got behind the wheel "Please not the screaming man." That was fair.

Heh heh!! :D I love it.

One thing about Bone Machine is that there are NO bad songs on the whole thing.

Ooh! I checked my mail as I was reading this and sure enough, there are two emails waiting for me! (along with about 26 emails from my post which I had to unmark in bulk)

Thanks BP!

that's funny, last night I picked up my guitar for the first time in about 6 weeks, needed something simple to play so did Dirt in the Ground.
(2x)
Em C Em C
D D G B7

(3x)
Em C D Em

repeat.

I cheat on the B7 as I can't switch to it fast enough, otherwise easy peasy
