Sealion II

Hello again.
So, it turns out it is not the easiest of all the things in the world to get the pictures to appear on the blogs. Obviously it is possible (see previous) but it involves a lot of re-sizing pictures and saving them in different formats. Very annoying.

So we may be sticking with text only for a while, until/unless I am seized by a fit of energy for Photoshop or the public demands it.

So, it's on you, public.

Yesterday I bought my first Tom Waits album. Tom Waits takes a little getting used to, but some of these songs are really beautiful ("Come On Up To The House" and "Hold On" in particular.)

"Come On Up To The House" has a really weird music video, btw. Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GugzLSbOQE

I'm not totally sure it's the real Tom Waits-commissioned music video, but I think it is.

I love 'Fish and Bird', although it makes me feel like crying (probably part of the point). I also really like 'Starving in the Belly of a Whale' but I doubt that falls into the beautiful category.

So, does he force his voice to sound like that or is that really his natural singing voice?

Welcome to Tom Waits-land! "The Piano Has Been Drinking" has always been one of my favorites...
