The last time we saw Cookie Monster cover Tom Waits was almost two years ago with his rendition of "God's Away on Business" from the blues legend's 2002 LP "Blood Money." Now, the guttural "Sesame Street" regular returns, courtesy of YouTube's cookiewaits channel, with a not-so-PBS-friendly take on Waits' anti-war jam "Hell Broke Luce." CM nails it.

• Tom Waits - Hell Broke Luce

Válka je peklo. A každodenní realita je pro vojáka, který se vrátil z nějakého konfliktu domů, teprve to pravé peklo, se kterou se již nikdy nemusí vyrovnat. Nikdy již nebude jako dřív. A toto peklo je ústředním tématem protiválečného songu Toma Waitse nazvaného Hell Broke Luce z desky Bad As Me z minulého roku. Inspiroval ho příběh vojáka Jeffa Lucey , který se po návratu z Iráku oběsil doma ve sklepě na zahradní hadici. Proto ten název, který navíc odkazuje k frázi "Hell Broke Loose" vyjadřující [...]

Watch/Listen here: Thanks to Alan Cross for pointing this one out. This unbelievable 62 year-old is a complete wonder. As distinct as they come. That gravel and growl that makes him so distinct also defines him. And still, he has that fire in the belly. A fire that burned those vocal chords to a crisp. His passion is something that inspires and calls us to act. Every award well deserved. We should all [...]

Tom Waits "Hell Broke Luce" "Nimrod Bodfish have you any wool Get me another body bag the body bag’s full My face was scorched, scorched I miss my home I miss my porch, porch Left, right, left" First off, how the hell have I not done a Tom Waits song before?

Lembra da expressão que todo pai já disse uma vez na vida: “carrego essa casa nas costas”? Tom Waits aderiu literalmente ao ditado e saiu puxando sua casa com uma corda no vídeo de Hell Broke Luce , faixa presente em seu último disco, o ótimo Bad As Me. Dirigido por Matt Mahurin, o clipe traz um cenário descrito por Waits como “um sonho apocalíptico de guerra”. E não haveria palavras melhores para descrever as imagens pesadas e intensas dessa produção moldada para suportar toda a agressividade da voz de Tom Waits .

Well, the waiting is over. Today's big Tom Waits announcement is a new video for, "Hell Broke Luce." It's a cool video, but I think most people (read: me) were hoping for a tour. Well, the day is still young, so he could always surprise us.

Tom Waits' newest album, Bad As Me , feels like a nice change from boring ol' Rock & Roll.  In fact, it's everything but!  As one goes from track to track, there's soul, jazz, folk, some Spanish-sounding ballads, and more.  Tom Waits has always been a versatile artist, and he sure shows it on his newest offering. Take the opening track, "Chicago."  It feels like the studio engineer hit "record" just a few seconds after the band started playing, and you're a little late to the party.  It's disconcerting, but (somehow) it's also pretty cool sounding.  After a [...]

Tweet What I’ve always loved about Tom Waits is his ability to sound like a cross between the granddaddies of the blues and a maniacal villain from a horror movie– cackling and playing the organ whilst some unsuspecting blonde beauty awakens to discover she’s been chained to a table. It's the way his backbeats thump, his voice scratches between mournful and wizened, and reverberates with  a raw anger and resentment. "Bad As Me" , Waits’s first new studio recording [...]

A well-rounded Tom Waits album in 2011? Well, ya' don't say...

I know Tom Waits isn't for everyone. Even amongst peers he’s the perpetual black sheep. I also know that he doesn't fit well within the regular tunes of choice at SBWR. But screw all that, he also happens to be one of the greatest living songwriters. So here goes...
