All the latest news about the work of Tom Waits
I mentioned the ANTI- YouTube channel before and since they've added two more videos: Lie to me and You can't hold back spring.
A new site aims to collect 'every single one visual recordings of Tom Waits': www.tom-waits.tv.
Looks like the ANTI- channel on YouTube is worth keeping an eye on: during the last 24 hours three videos were added.
Live versions - shot during the 2006 tour I think - of Day after Tomorrow, Bottom of the world and Trampled Rose, which I'll included below.
The animated film Tom Waits For No One is more or less well know amongst Waits-afficionados, but now a 45 second clip of the original film used to make this has surfaced on YouTube.
According to the uploader, austinstein, these images - featuring Tom Waits and 'exotic dancer' Donna Gordon - were recorded at the La Brea Stage in 1978 and later used to produce the 'rotoscope video' (a process that takes live action footage and is traced back frame by frame turning it into animation).
Most intriguing part of this is his (her?) claim 'the footage will rise like the Phoenix from the ashes of obscurity'.

While we are waiting for some real news - and it is coming - here is another video tribute by Stephen and Timothy Quay: Dog Door (a collaboration with Sparklehorse, which was released on their 2001 album It's a wonderful life).
It's been very quiet lately, so why not sit back and enjoy the La tigre e la nieve trailer, which features Tom Waits' performance of You can never hold back spring. If you like this sort of thing, you might take a look at NewWest.Net/Bend, who will feature one Waits’ clip each day this week. The first installment of the tribute week is a live recording of the Late Show With David Letterman.
For his graduation project, Israeli design student Gal Shkedi created an animated music video for Starving in the belly of a whale.
