I'd like to think that "Walking Spanish" is the coolest song ever, but "Clap Hands" is pretty bitchin aswell.

i love how no one is seeing the complete Beefheartness of the album. Trout Mask is one of his favorite albums and you can tell when he got into it. People are recommending Sigur Ros but not Beefheart, wow.

Stewart's version of "Downtown Train" is blasphemous. Waits performed "Time" on the Letterman show, but time ran out and half the song was cut off. Neverless, Waits performed "Innocent When You Dream" and "Goin' Out West" on late-night television show later.This Message Edited On 06.15.08

Isn't the chorus of "Clap Hands" derived from a children's song? Waits's live performances often inserted snippets of old songs in this manner; perhaps those songs provided the original idea for the song in question, or perhaps the connection emerged in performance. Stewart also butchered the content of "Downtown Train" by switching the "they" and the "you" (the original was "I am nothing that will every win your heart..."). "Rain Dogs" is indeed a classic.

in the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king


Such a great line. Is this a Waits original or did he steal it from classic literature I wonder?

/too lazy to google
