what are you listening to THIS VERY SECOND?

Oh, did I wear these albums OUT!

Upper floor city apartments with wood floors and outdated linoleum kitchen floors. A futon on the bedroom floor and ashtrays, coffee cups and a french press on the coffee table. Porcelain sinks and a claw foot tub. Rows and rows of albums in the living room next to the stereo. No TV. Old scratchy couch and mismatched chairs. Chalky walls and yellowed light in the middle of the night. Music. More than anything else...music.

...I am listening to the " putting-on-a-show " big finale of the lost early color talkie musical " THE GOLD DIGGERS OF BROADWAY " (surviving footage from it):

I woke up this morning and thought to myself: It feels like a Tom Waits day.

What a great way to wake up, VegetableMan. I hope you had a stiff cup of black coffee as a fitting tribute.

Thanks for the idea, VegetableMan. It's been awhile since I've done some proper Tom Waits listening.

I've posted this before, but it never gets old for me. I loved Sesame Street and Tom Waits.....what's not to like?!

How could I resist?
