Overall a + addition to WaitsianaBy J. HundleySwordfishtrombones (the album) was one of those great goggle-eyed moments in popular music, when something so unexpected hit your ears that you had to listen to it 2 or 3 times in a row, right off the bat, one play after another, the day you bought it, to start getting our head around it. For those of us who were Waits fans BS (Before Swordfish) immediately fell into two camps: love it or hate it, natch. I was a love it.Say was, too, it would seem. While he wisely avoids falling into the "here's-the-history-of-Waits" mode, he does give glimpses into what came before here and there to put the album into some context, but mostly he focuses on the album itself and how it reflects what is known of Wait's life at the time, in particular his then-new marriage and partnership with Kathleen Brennen, who instantly became his muse, partner, confidant and conscience. Sort of. More or less.Using a song-by-song structure, Smay delves in, digresses, conjects and reflects on Waits' work here, in the past and into the future. Mostly this is a lot of fun and is an interesting and insightful look into the album. He falters on occasion, particularly in his Jungian Tom-foolery and fable-izing. I could have lived without those, but neither did I find them the major stumbling block some other reviewers here did.Overall, this is an interesting addition to the growing Waits literature and is certainly worth a read for those who are in tune with what Waits does (whatever you may want to call it) in general, and those for whom this amazing record fell on out of the blue way back when Waits looked as though he had painted himself into a corner of drunken beatnik stupor that he might not be able to find his way out of. Of course, he didn't. He blew up the corner instead. And out came growling and screaming this masterpiece that Smay has examined here. Not great, this little volume, but worthy.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Melissa (Missi) SchmidGreat product--as listed-- super happy!10 of 12 people found the following review helpful. Come on, any book about most any Waits album is welcomeBy Chris bctAnd it turns out, this one keeps the spirit of the album by not being a dry reporting or an academic exercise. The author honors this key turning point album in Waits' career with the creative dignity it deserves. I kept finding info bits in it that I liked, that I didn't know and I'm a bit Waits fan. As per the 33 1/3 series he breaks down the album song by song and appears to strive to not have any bland sentences. Don't think I found one. Glad I bought it. If yer a fan, you really should. If yer not into Tom Waits, forget it, this is a fan's delight. Two entwined narratives run through the creation of Swordfishtrombones and form the backbone of this book. As the 1970s ended, Waits felt increasingly constrained and trapped by his persona and career. Bitter and desperately unhappy, he moved to New York in 1979 to change his life. It wasn't working. But at his low point, he got the phone call that changed everything: Francis Ford Coppola tapped Tom to write the score for One From the Heart. Waits moved back to Los Angeles to work at Zoetrope's Hollywood studio for the next 18 months. He cleaned up, disciplined himself as a songwriter and musician, collaborated closely with Coppola, and met a script analyst named Kathleen Brennan - his "only true love". They married within two months at the Always and Forever Yours Wedding Chapel at 2 a.m. Swordfishtrombones was the first thing Waits recorded after his marriage, and it was at Kathleen's urging that he made a record that conceded exactly nothing to his record label, or the critics, or his fans. There aren't many love stories where the happy ending sounds like a paint can tumbling in an empty cement mixer. Kathleen Brennan was sorely disappointed by Tom's record collection. She forced him out of his comfortable jazzbo pocket to take in foreign film scores, German theatre, and Asian percussion. These two stories - of a man creating that elusive American second act, and also finding the perfect collaborator in his wife - give this book a natural forward drive.

  • Woyzeck Bursts Onto the Ensemble Theatre Company Stage
    MEDIA RELEASE CONTACT: Josh Gren [email protected] or 805.965.5400 x103 ELECTRIFYING TOM WAITS MUSICAL WOYZECK BURSTS ONTO THE ENSEMBLE THEATRE COMPANY STAGE March 25, 2015 – Santa Barbara, CA — The influential 19th Century play about a soldier fighting to retain his humanity has been transformed into a tender and carnivalesque musical by the legendary vocalist, Tom Waits. “If there’s one thing you can say about mankind,” the show begins, “there’s nothing kind about man.” The haunting opening phrase is the heart of the thrilling, bold, and contemporary English adaptation of Woyzeck – the classic German play, being presented at Ensemble Theatre Company this April. Inspired by the true story of a German soldier who was driven mad by army medical experiments and infidelity, Georg Büchner’s dynamic and influential 1837 poetic play was left unfinished after the untimely death of its author. In 2000, Waits and his wife and collaborator, Kathleen Brennan, resurrected the piece, wrote music for an avant-garde production in Denmark, and the resulting work became a Woyzeck musical and an album entitled “Blood Money.” “[The music] is flesh and bone, earthbound,” says Waits. “The songs are rooted in reality: jealousy, rage…I like a beautiful song that tells you terrible things. We all like bad news out of a pretty mouth.” Woyzeck runs at the New Vic Theater from April 16 – May 3 and opens Saturday, April 18. Jonathan Fox, who has served as ETC’s Executive Artistic Director since 2006, will direct the ambitious, wild, and long-awaited musical. “It’s one of the most unusual productions we’ve undertaken,” says Fox.

Først av alt vil jeg takke min veileder, Stan Hawkins, for gode innspill og råd. Jeg vil også takke ham for å svare på alle mine dumme (og mindre dumme) spørsmål til alle døgnets tider. Spesielt i den siste hektiske perioden har han vist stor overbærenhet med meg, og jeg har mottatt hurtige svar selv sene fredagskvelder! Jeg skulle selvfølgelig ha takket Tom Waits personlig, men jeg satser på at han leser dette på sin ranch i «Nowhere, California». Han har levert et materiale som det har vært utrolig morsomt og givende å arbeide med. Videre vil jeg takke samboeren min og mine to stadig større barn. De har latt meg sitte nede i kjellerkontoret mitt helg etter helg, og all arbeidsroen jeg har hatt kan jeg takke dem for. Jeg lover dyrt og hellig å gjengjelde tjenesten. Min mor viste meg for noen år siden at det faktisk var mulig å fullføre en masteroppgave, selv ved siden av en krevende fulltidsjobb og et hektisk familieliv. Det har gitt meg troen på prosjektet, selv om det til tider var slitsomt. Til sist vil jeg takke min far, som gikk bort knappe fire måneder før denne oppgaven ble levert. Han var alltid opptatt av at mine brødre og jeg skulle ha stor frihet til å forfølge våre interesser, og han skal ha mye av æren for at han til slutt endte opp med tre sønner som alle valgte musikk som sin studieretning.

  • Women Sing Waits by Warren Zanes
    Come On Up To The House: Women Sing Waits By Warren Zanes It was 1976, the bicentennial year, when my mother heard a song on WGBH, Boston’s public radio station. She said we all had to hear it. That meant my brother, my sister, and me. We were living in New Hampshire on twenty acres of neglected farmland, so the outer world needed to be shipped in. Radio did this for us. That year on the radio we’d heard about the Tall Ships coming into Boston Harbor, the Son of Sam killings, the Concorde’s first commercial flight to New York. And that’s where my mother heard a man named Tom Waits singing a song called, “The Piano Has Been Drinking (Not Me).” The one we all needed to hear. My mother ordered the album Small Change from Pitchfork Records in Concord, a shop that’s still there despite the world changing around it. When the record arrived, she gathered us in the dining room where the turntable was kept. Yes, anything our mother liked was suspect from the start. But on the cover of Small Change, there was Tom Waits, backstage in a burlesque club, looking like he knew something we didn’t, or shouldn’t. So we listened. Musically, I didn’t know what to make of Waits. It wasn’t a matter of liking him or disliking him, more an issue of classification. What was this music? Who was this man? And what, in God’s name, was our mother doing with him? We were already wondering who she was.

  • Tom's Wild Year: the Story of Swordfishtrombones
    Tom's Wild Year: The Story of Swordfishtrombones Classic Rock, June 2013 HAVE I GOT NEWS FOR YOU it was not. Tom Waits did, however, have news for fellow guest Ian Hislop, rounding on the latter after he suggested that Waits promote his new album more audibly, and snarling that he would "promote it in my own damn way". The year was 1983, the album Swordfishtrombones, and the programme was the October 18th edition of Channel 4's dismal yoof-oriented chatshow Loose Talk. Waits had already sidestepped the trap set when host Steve Taylor asked whether the singer was familiar with "the seedier parts" of his native Los Angeles, replying, "You mean like a farming community?" The squirm-inducing interrogation staggered on until Waits lost it with Hislop. In those pre-reality-TV days it was almost shocking. For any Waits fan who'd made the transition to Swordfishtrombones from, say, Small Change, the subtext of the Loose Talk conversation was all too clearly the 33-year-old singer's annoyance at being typecast as a beatnik bum who'd lived in LA's Tropicana Motel and made boozy faux-jazz albums about… well, living in LA's Tropicana Motor Hotel. For Swordfishtrombones was nothing if not a radical rewrite of Waits' nighthawk persona, dispensing not only with the Tropicana but with the many crutches he'd used since making his first album for David Geffen's Asylum label a decade earlier: manager Herb Cohen, producer "Bones" Howe, and (Elektra- )Asylum Records itself. To this day I can recall the mild shock we felt on the NME staff when Swordfishtrombones followed abruptly on the heels of Waits' lush, Howe-helmed soundtrack for Francis Ford Coppola's big-budget film One from the Heart.

  • Los Angeles Times “Back from the Brink” [Steve Hochman] (1999)
    Back From the Brink : With 'Spider,' Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse returns from a life- threatening episode. Pop Music March 21, 1999|STEVE HOCHMAN | Steve Hochman writes regularly for Calendar Mark Linkous would never write a song with a subject as trite as getting back on his own two feet. That particular struggle is all too real for him. The release of "Good Morning Spider," the second album he's made under the band name Sparklehorse, and a tour that brings him to the Troubadour on Friday are just the latest steps in rebuilding his life and career after a nightmare. Two years ago, the Virginia-based musician was basking in the acclaim for "vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot," the first Sparklehorse album. It was being hailed in particular in Britain, where the press fell for the haunting mix of low-fi rural rock, dream-time pop and inward-looking imagery. Among his fans: the band Radiohead, which offered him the opening slot on most of its European shows in 1996 and 1997. In January 1997, though, everything came crashing down in a London hotel bathroom. "I had a big bottle of Valium from Mexico and had been on antidepressants for a long time," says Linkous, 34, with flat detachment--as if he doesn't remember the incident but has heard others describe it. "And I guess I'd been taking the Valium so much that I passed out. My legs were underneath me all night and half a day. When the paramedics came and straightened my legs out, it sent all the toxins to my heart and gave me a heart attack.

  • Swordfishtrombones Revisited
    Swordfishtrombones Revisited Start time: 8pm Approximate running time one hour 30 minutes, no interval Please note all timings are approximate and subject to change David Sheppard talks to David Coulter about discovering a spirit of adventure through Swordfishtrombones. At the dawn of the 1980s, Tom Waits was in danger of sliding into terminal self-parody. While his songs were covered by everyone form The Eagles to Bruce Springsteen, Waits, who had just turned 30, seemed stuck in an artistic rut, his albums delivering a cocktail of retro styles: afterhours burlesques, Beat poet reveries, jazzy stomps and string-laden ballads, all of them rendered in the grizzled cartoon baritone of a heavy-smoking soak at least twice his age. Despite 1980’s Heart Attack & Vine, the sixth and last of his albums for Elektra/Asylum, winning critical plaudits, Waits was growing jaded, holed up in West Hollywood’s sybaritic Tropicana Hotel, still peopling his songs with lonely, hard-boiled characters apparently on loan from desolate Edward Hopper paintings or the novels of Dashiell Hammett. While elsewhere punk’s youthful new broom was gleefully sweeping away the old, Waits remained a goateed, trilby-hatted anachronism, a wilful throwback to a sentimentalised, pre-rock’n’roll America. ‘I used to think I was making movies for the ears… I was overly maudlin and romantic’, he later admitted. Happily, artistic deliverance would soon arrive courtesy of another kind of ‘movie for the ears’ – namely a commission from Francis Ford Coppola to write a ‘lounge operetta’ score for the director’s ambitious cine-musical, One From the Heart.
