I'm Real Gone

Today I am listening to Tom Waits, exclusively. Which is odd, because I bought the new Flaming Lips CD yesterday. But Tom is hitting the spot today.

Tom Waits - Hold On

Hey, he name drops St. Louis.

If you prefer your music not have whiskey and cigarette breath (which is why you listen to Tom, for crying out loud) but want a little jazzy chanteuse, I give you new Jolie Holland.

Jolie Holland - Springtime Can Kill You

And, to bring it full circle (title wise, at least) from the same label:

Neko Case - Hold On, Hold On

All from the same label, too. Groovy.

And if that's not good enough for you, well then you can't be pleased. So stop blaming me for all of the poor choices you made in your life. What am I, your shrink? Now git.
