Comment:

A peruvian friend of mine showed up at the office the other day with a copy of El pafs semanal with Tom Waits on the cover. I think she picked it up for the anti-Chßvez story, but I said, "oh, Tom Waits" y me pregunt= "+y quiTn es ese Tom Waits?" so I traded her these two discs and a copy of Down by law in exchange for the magazine. Posdata: the story on the primera dama de Cuba was a premio.

Ahh, the elusive Waits Compilation. An interesting job of selecting and sequencing, I particularly love the closing 5 on side 2. Nice keepsake in the bargain.

Yeah, and it was a fun excuse to Mexicanize the title of his boxed set.

More flavourful than a mango habinero sauce, this one!

"Christmas Card" reminds me of this yankee slag with whom I attended University. She would buy her boyfriend gifts and ship them back to America; all funded with money she made giving bjs.

ZoT Jarvis's comment sounds like a great idea for Waits to make a song about. Props to you for props for Tom.

A wonderful summation of the man's work.

(a million years later)

Really neat, especially the way the sweet poignancy of the earlier stuff ble_nds with the intense emotionality and sharp satire of the later ones. Beautifully jumbled.
