I really wanted to hate this album, or at least feel indifferent enough to ignore it. I tried, really I did. I didn't even listen to the unrequested advance promo I received. When a second promo arrived from Jones' record ... Continue reading �

I'm not sure what, exactly, people are expecting when they shell out to see the Rolling Stones arena-tour extravaganza, but they probably aren't counting on appearances from voice-ravaged weirdo hero Tom Waits, even if he has recorded a bunch of stuff with Keith Richards over the years. Last night, however, Waits joined the Stones onstage at Oakland's Oracle Arena, beautifully growling his way through "Little Red Rooster," a blues standard most associated with Howlin' Wolf but covered by a bazillion others. The crowd, bless their hearts, appeared to recognize the man. Watch a fan-made video below. Read More...

Filed under: Video , Exclusive N.A.S.A. In a classic case of opposites attract, steam-powered songwriter Tom Waits and space-traveling rapper Kool Keith joined each other on N.A.S.A. 's 2009 track "Spacious Thoughts." Now, several years later, the making of N.A.S.A.'s ambitious debut album The Spirit of Apollo is being released into the cosmic ether through a new documentary.

Tom Waits  and  Keith Richards recording together to contribute a track to an album of pirate ballads, sea songs and chanteys just seems to make sense on so many levels. The duo are no strangers to working together, with Richards contributing guitar and backing vocals to Waits' 1985 critically acclaimed album Rain Dogs , and more recently on the singer-songwriter's 2011 studio effort Bad As Me . The world-worn pair's latest collaboration, Shenandoah, will be featured on the compilation album Son of Rogues Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs & Chanteys , which [...]

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 [...]

Hace unos días les comentamos que el 7 de agosto Tom Waits haría un anuncio. Teníamos una foto y una fecha. Obviamente pensamos en discos, singles, canciones, etc. Resulta que la sorpresa era el video para la canción Hell Broke Luce . El video en cuestión le hace honor a su nombre porque presenta varias escenas apocalípticas, violentas y oscuras. El tema con los piratas se ve representado en unos submarinos con forma de tiburones. Lo dirigió [...]

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? I'm very disappointed in myself, and yet... also happy because that means [...]

Video: Tom Waits - "Hell Broke Luce" After some intriguing teaser images, Tom Waits has released his a new video for a song from his 2011 album Bad As Me . Directed By Matt Mahurin. Still no word on a tour to promote the album. As a bonus, here's a couple of videos from Waits' recent forays in late night television last month.

"Hell Broke Luce," from Tom Waits ' Bad As Me  features Keith Richards on guitar, Flea on bass, and enough growling and stomping to shake up a dust storm from a loose wooden floorboard.  How do you accompany this visually? Like this: Matt Mahurin has created an apocalyptic war dream to accompany the song 'Hell Broke Luce'.  Kathleen and I envisioned it as an enlightened drill sergeant yelling the hard truths of war to a brand new batch of recruits. The video grew from the gnawing image of a soldier pulling his home, through a [...]

For a little while now, Tom Waits has been sending out cryptic email missives hyping something that was coming today. Plenty were hoping for a tour announcement, but nope: It's a new music video for the spittle-flecked, Keith Richards-assisted rant-stomp "Hell Broke Luce," one of the more unhinged songs from last year's Bad As Me album. In director Matt Mahurin 's video, Waits drags a house across an apocalyptic animated landscape. Watch it below. Read More...

In a slightly disappointing announcement, the mystery of the Tom Waits teasers has finally been laid to rest. It's a new video for the Bad As Me track "Hell Broke Luce". The track features Flea and Keith Richards. Sure, it's a great video, but the hype got people excited about a tour or even a new album, so this is a bit of a let down. Here's the video:

Over the past week Tom Waits has kept us guessing at just what he'd reveal today by releasing a series of images finding the Rock Hall inductee in different scenarios such as one in which he was dressed as a pirate . Waits fans were hoping the big surprise would be a tour, but alas the hub-bub was over a video for the Bad As Me track Hell Broke Luce. It's no tour, yet it's certainly a badass clip...

Tom Waits is making the most of his week in NY, having played "Chicago" on Letterman Monday night and "Right Raised Men" on Fallon last night. Watch the Late Night performance below, along with entertaining Q&A with a gushing Jimmy that touches on the YMCA, Tom's induction to the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, and what it means to play music "like a plumber in a leotard."
