Damn! It's been so long it's almost hardly worth starting again ... but I will nonetheless. Every week I do this show and I write down what I play thinking I'm going to blog it the next day and now i've got little playlists in about all of my jeans pockets, all over my desk at work and at home most of which will never make it now. But it's a new year so I'll give it another shot. Here is the playlist for Monday January 22nd, 2007. The second half of the show was dedicated to songs off of Tom Waits new 3 cd offering called "Orphans". I reckon that it may be one of the best Tom releases in a long time. The three CDs are entitled: Brawlers, Bawlers, and Bastards respectively.
