He has also collaborated with Kool Keith on N.A.S.A.'s recently released The Spirit of Apollo, which also features such diverse artists as David Byrne, Karen O and Ol' Dirty Bastard. As for new material, Waits and his long time collaborator and wife, Kathleen Brennan, have begun writing new songs, which they plan to record this summer for an upcoming CD. (No release date at this time.) Of Orphans, Bill Flanagan stated on CBS SUNDAY MORNING: "No contemporary musician embodies the twin virtues of elegance and piracy better than Tom Waits. He is a gravel-voiced poet, the Edward Hopper of rock n' roll." Elsewhere in MOJO, the preeminent music magazine of the UK, declared: "Mojo Instant Classic..Masterpiece isn't the right word for such a profusion of profound delights...exhibition is better…With his unfussy brushstrokes, umber hues, and humanely honest delight in warts and all, he is the Rembrandt of modern music."

cosmonaut Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I would love to see these sings get the vinyl treatment. But if they're going to make this a $250, 6xLP set or something, I'd rather they just not fucking do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if they're going to make this a $250, 6xLP set or something, I'd rather they just not fucking do it. This is exactly what I was thinking.

Well, it's going to have to be at least 6xLP. As for the weight it's become the standard on bigger acts like this. I'm guessing they pass on any sort of outlandish packaging and it stays around $120.

xfedupx Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Who can I ask nicely? I will definitely say please. I have no idea anymore, I know they made a few changes to people and their department. When I was there, I was one of like 2 people who was actually into vinyl/collecting, so whenever test presses came through and the product managers didn't have time to listen to them, I'd get a copy to give the ok.

plagues Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 This is rad, but I couldn't see spending more than 100$ Regardless of what it costs, if this goes to preorder it will sell out in like 20 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, they'll press a million of them. It'll be pretty easy to get for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
