Comment:

The AOTM was well-represented at the Fox last night for the Glitter & Doom tour stop in St. Louis. Brother Funky and http://www.artofthemix.org/aotmcommunity/profile.asp?intMemberID=27382>Brother Doowad met up with The Wad> and Strange Loop enjoyed a varied and top-notch performance from the Man. This is a follow-up to the Greasy Grimy Gutbucket Artists where it was mutually decided that with Sonny Boy, Muddy, John Lee & Wolf in the Gutbucket netherworld, Mr. Waits is the greatest living creator of gutbucket. The mix? Well, the four basically just threw their favorite Waits tunes (or Waits-related tunes) in the proverbial [gut]bucket and this is what rinsed out.

my jealousy cannot be accurately described in words, so i'll just grumble quietly to myself. any collection of waits is bound to be terrific, & you've nailed two of my top 5 waits songs ("christmas card..." & "bottom of the world"), so kudos.

I love the way you paired lots of these up, Derek...Alice->Children's Story and Kommienezuspadt thru Cemetery Polka especially. Very few of my absolute favorites were represented at the show itself, but I really couldn't have cared less. It was just fantastic anyways...

As in: "Watch your back sonny. You're in Gutbucket Country now!" Anyway... Quite a sampling here form his exhaustive library, but still merely a drop in the (gut)bucket.Truly a once in a lifetime experience!

A fine catalog and fine mixes, appropriately enough.
