Ain't nothing wrong with a little Tom Waits.

Scary. I estimate our iTunes collections overlap by around 50%; every week about half of your random 10 are on my iTunes list as well.

Ah, "Mahna Mahna." Sheer bliss in muppet form.

Mahna Mahna in Memphis is pretty fun too.

Hmm.....I think the Tom Waits is there because of the muppets. Whenever I hear Tom Waits's voice in his more recent recordings all I can think of is muppets.

Have you heard Cake's version of Mahna Mahna? It's a dandy.

cminus - that is the most delightful thing to happen to me today, with the possible exception of my son (who never sings!) singing along with me singing "I'll Fly Away" before bed. :) :) :)

"Bad Reputation" is an amazing song. I don't know what it is, but something in it bypasses other mechanisms in my brain and acts directly on my memory centers. I have no specific memories associated with that song, but it never fails to bring up a sort of nostalgic longing.
