        This album won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album in 1999, and Tom Waits was nominated for Best Male Rock Performance for "Hold On." The album is magic.

        "Chocolate Jesus," my favorite track, is an amazing song about personal faith. "Cold Water" is song from the perspective of a homeless vagrant, the cold water referring to reality washing over him. The song "Filipino Box Spring Hog" brings to mind a rum-induced dance around a pig on a spit; the phrase "Filipino Box Spring Hog" has come to also refer to any strange or disgusting new food. If you can't figure out a food's name or ingredients, you may call it this.

        Here there be untold treasures.

        “Q: What’s hard for you?

        A: Mostly I straddle reality and the imagination. My reality needs imagination like a bulb needs a socket. My imagination needs reality like a blind man needs a cane. Math is hard. Reading a map. Following orders. Carpentry. Electronics. Plumbing. Remembering things correctly. Straight lines. Sheet rock. Finding a safety pin. Patience with others. Ordering in Chinese. Stereo instructions in German.”

        When people walk away from you, let them go. Your destiny is never tied to anyone who leaves you, and it doesn't mean they are bad people. It just means that their part in your story is over.

        As Waits got older her really started exploring his musical range. You see this a lot in Mule Variations which is one of my favourites of his album, with Blue Valentine being my hands down favourite. He grew so much as an artist that you just cannot deny his talent. You really get to see his experimenting with Real Gone, where his son plays on a lot of the tracks. He is hands down one of the best artists in the world. Yes, you heard me...THE WORLD.

        This album came out when I was a freshman in art school, all the songs went with how that year seemed to be .... so industrial sounding and just really badass

        Mule Variations is a stark, spacious album that puts vibe above chops, and guts above glory.This release shows how effective and evocative sparse guitar can be. Over the course of 16 tunes, the listener is treated to angular rhythmic stabs, lo-fi fuzz solos, swampy blues, lilting acoustic tones, gossamer-thin Dobro lines, and tasteful country %u2026
