Errhm.. Corbijn... You know...

It seems like every single month we get an updated publication date of the Anton Corbijn picture book about Tom Waits. Yes, I've written this before, but it's still true: the latest news is the publication has been pushed back to November 2011. But don't hold your breath.

What is new, I think, is the fact that it is a 'limited edition of 6,000 copies'.

Tom Waits vinyl site

A promising site for those of you who are interested in vinyl: Tomwaits-vinyl.org. Some pages are still 'under construction', but it has a very nice bootleg section.

'Take the world by the tail'

Letters of Note, a blog specialising in letters written by celebrities has managed to get a hold of  a letter Tom Waits wrote to a fan.
Go out there and take the world by the tail, pull it down, wrap it around and put it in your pocket.

I (...) remember it as an intense and wonderful time in my life.
