This is exclusively for Julia i imagine ;D Dear Julia, do you think you could make me a list of your top 20 Tom Waits songs? (excluding Rain Dogs and Alice cause those are the two albums i have Btw, in Paris i saw my good Australian friend Sarah, and she made me listen to Pastries and G String and her older sister who writes plays and directs and acts and does photo exhibitions and writes poems and gets published (don't get me started ), well she did a hilarious cover of it i thought of you Anyway, i'd appreciate a whole lotta cause he's got so much stuff and i don't know where to start, or rather, continue. And anyone else is of course free to recommend me some Tom Waits! ;D

Hm, it is very hard for me to recommend single songs. I am sorry, but I don't think I can do that. I love them all. I think you have to listen to a whole album to understand the single songs on them. Looking at the albums you already have I recommend you to get next Mule Variations, Blood money or his first album Closing Time, which is a masterpiece.

chicken hanna,
My serving suggestions are:
Bone Machine - Goin' Out West and the rest Blood Money - Misery's the river of the world (everybody row) All of Closing Time
Real Gone - Tom goes crazy... crazy crazy... Hoist that Rag is pure unadulterated American gothic If you are a sappy person, liking that romancey stuff... Blue Valentines.
If you are adventurous - go for the Orphans boxed set.
Us australians love us some gruntin' man... mmmm... tom waits

I would also recommend the album Closing Time (and the first song I ever heard of Tom Waits, Ice cream man, is on that cd. Very nice and catchy tune, easy to get to).
