Q: Do you collect anything?
Tom Waits: Like little ceramic dogs? I collect instruments. It's ongoing.
Q: Do you have a favorite sound?
Tom Waits: Bacon. In a frying pan. If you record the sound of bacon in a frying pan and play it back it sounds like the pops and cracks on an old 33 1/3 recording. Almost exactly like that. You could substitute it for that sound.
---excerpt from Pitchfork interview, 2006
I love Tom. Although there is some dispute over whether he said this first, I consider this one of his best quotes:
“Champagne for my real friends and real pain for my sham friends.”
I raise a glass to all my new, fabulous, and brilliant friends in the blogsphere. You know who you are.
currently listening to: Tom Waits, Closing Time
