The Obvious (right?) Tom Waits connection.

how about the bit part he played
in the film 'dead man'

that's some funny shit

sorry
he wasn't in 'deadman'
that was iggy pop
i was thinking of

it was 'down by law'
and not a bit part

my bad...:o

'Orphans' is great, I'm always a bit dubious of rarities boxsets (often a bunch of badly recorded songs that weren't good enough to be released first time round) however this really is an eclectic mix to fit any mood.
Check out the cover of Daniel Johnston's 'King Kong', genius.

Oh before I lose my self in some Waitsian wet dream lets all remember he was in 'Mystery Men', hang your head in shame Tom :(

Down by law -
marvelous movie.

You should also check out "night on earth", it has waits music in almost every
episode and RobertoBenigni is so godamn funny as a taxidriver(imbecille!).
