bone machine as a whole album sounds like it was recorded in an abandoned grain silo and i mean that as the highest compliment. perfect halloween driving music if you want to feel vaguely haunted

I forget where exactly, but Tom Waits was once asked in an interview what his perfect audo setup was, and he said "a transistor radio through a window across the street." and I think that summarizes his vibe perfectly.

There's nothing like the percussion on a prime era Tom Waits song. Sounds like they're playing just like a pile of bones

Great album. So glad I got to see him live in 08. He almost never tours.
