I had to drive for 3 hours to a business meeting a few days ago, and brought along a set of (pretty decent) headphones I usually keep at work.
Alone in the car I figured I'd take the time to explore some music that I hadn't listend to for a while and expected would give me a bit of a HI-FI experience.
Started of with a few songs from Achtung Baby (what great work by Lanois!) but actually tired quite quickly and moved on to some Depeche from late 80's, early 90's. Strangely, that got boring quite quickly and I browsed my iPhone for a while and suddenly felt an urge to listen to Tom Waits.
Listened through the first record from Orphans (Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards) and followed that with a few favorites from his early catalogue.
His music is an interesting clash between perfection and imperfection. He does his best to sing like a drunk, but never misses a note. The production is dirty, but perfect.
Three favorites:
