Tom Waits - How's it Going to End?

You can listen to the whole thing here Tom Waits - Real Gone (2004). See this really interesting Pitchfork review: Real Gone 2004:

18th proper studio album from the gruff-voiced singer/songwriter serves marks a departure from 2002's Alice and Blood Money, with an emphasis on mouth-made percussion. Avant-garde guitarist Marc Ribot guests for the first time since 1999's Mule Variations, while other notable contributors include Primus' Les Claypool and Brain Manita, and Waits' son Casey.

Tom Waits sings with his eyes closed, face squished tight, arms jerking, elbows popping, his entire body curled small and fetal around the microphone stand. Waits' mouth is barely open, but his ears are perked high, perfectly straight, craning skyward, stretching out: Tom Waits is channeling frequencies that the rest of us cannot hear.

In a 2002 interview with GQ's Elizabeth Gilbert, Tom Waits talked forgivingly about his ears, mumbling humbly about an innate, almost inhuman sensitivity to sound. For Waits, the amplification of everyday chatter has long functioned as both a service and a liability, feeding his music and completely screwing up his life. Real Gone, like most of Tom Waits' records, is teeming with all kinds of mysterious noises: clangs and spits, faceless hollers, squawks, irrational toots, not-quite-human coughs, vicious bangs, apologetic whispers. It lurches along like a junk-heap jalopy, unsteady and unsafe, bits flying off in every direction, stopping, starting, and bouncing in pain.

And I've just discovered his albums Alice and Blood Money (2002).

I guess Mule Variations (1999) was enough for me. If you have ears, you can hear, and you get hitched to the fucking train!
