Discussions sparked yesterday with some family and friends after I forwarded that stream of the new Scarlett Johansson Tom Waits cover album. I love the album. I don’t really know what that says about me, but according to most reviews so far it says I don’t really know what I’m talking about. As someone who was never really huge into Waits, I’d imagine that I’m probably hearing it from somewhat unbiased ears; Kind of like how I thought Across the Universe was a peice of poopy [mostly].

Either way, we got into a discussion of Tom Waits covers, and this came up as a favorite of mine. I immediately got into a serious Bruce mood last night and loaded up my iPod with Darkness on the Edge of Town, Born to Run, and Nebraska. It’s going to be a good day.
