    The forthcoming new album from Tom Waits, Real Gone, now has a release date: October 4th. But watch out, Rahzel! According to the folks at Waits' label, Anti, the record will replace the legendary songwriter's piano with his own brand of vocal percussion. Oh, sweet Jesus.

    But don't fret, lovers of actual music– as we reported in April, a whole bevy of instrument spankers are on board: guitarist Mark Ribot will be collaborating for the first time since 1985's Rain Dogs; Larry Taylor, a veteran of several Waits recordings, will be on bass and guitar, Brain Manita (Primus, Buckethead, the most recent Guns 'N' Roses tour) will man the drums, Waits' son Casey X will handle percussion and turntables, Primus founder Les Claypool will slap the electric bass, and Harry Cody's got the guitar and banjo.

    Of the album's sound, Anti's website stated that „Real Gone is a place, a time beyond reach: a lost mind, a renegade leader, war love sublime, love lost, death, desire, escape. These are the themes of the record inspired by the giddy lust, high voltage, out of orbit times– a vertigo of splash and trash popular culture spinning alongside the gun to our head and the knife in our heart political times, or as 'Shake It' says, 'I feel like a preacher waving a gun around.'“ We had to check to be sure they weren't referring to Timecop.

    Speaking to NME, Waits said „Real Gone is an electric pill box… a homogeneous concoction of mood elevators, mind liberators and downers, an alchemical universe of rattling chains, oscillating rhythms and nine-pound hammers.“ That had to be rehearsed. With tracks like „Circus“ and „Trampled Rose“ all recorded in an old Mississippi school house with longtime collaborator and wife Kathleen Brennan, it sounds like fans can expect a true Waits album. Please God, let him sing of a one-eyed dwarf. Tracklist:

    01 Top of the Hill
    02 Hoist That Rag
    03 Sins of My Father
    04 Shake It
    05 Don't Go Into That Barn
    06 How's It Gonna End
    07 Metropolitan Glide
    08 Dead and Lovely
    09 Circus
    10 Trampled Rose
    11 Green Grass
    12 Baby Gonna Leave Me
    13 Clang Boom Steam
    14 Make It Rain
    15 Day After Tomorrow

      Was man sich darunter vorzustellen hat?
      Aber dennoch Vorfreude. Und vielleicht auch mal ein Konzert im Süden Deutschlands?

      Wer „Blood Money“ kennt, weiß doch was „Vocal Percussion“ ist. Allein schon „God's away on buisness“ lässt seine Stimme als fieses/schönes Percussion-Instrument erscheinen.

      „In some ways the album seems like the start of a new phase for the gruff voiced artist. Where 1999´s „Mule Variation“ and the simultaneous 2002 releases of theater-based albums „Alice“ and „Blood Money“ seem almost a career summary, „Real Gone“, the 20th album of new material more than 30 years of recording, takes some new tacks… The record alternates between cacophonous, jubilant numbers and mournful, haunting and spare ballads.“ (Los Angeles Times ) Ich bin gespannt. B)

      As reported earlier, Tom Waits is contributing the song „Day After Tomorrow“ to „Future Soundtrack of America“, an album sponsores by MoveOn.org, an organisation providing financial support to “ congressional candidates who embrace moderate to progressive principles of national goverment.“

      Gerüchte? Tom Waits produziert das nächste Album der Pixies.

      I got you letter today and I miss you all so much here
      I can´t wait to see you all and I´m counting the days, dear
      I still believe that there´s gold at the end of the world
      And I´ll come home to Illinois on the day after tomorrow.

      Von dem Album habe ich auch schon seit mehr als 2 Monaten gewußt. Doch bei Tom Waits würde ich vorsichtig sein, ob der Termin gehalten werden kann…

      … wenn ja, freu ich mich drauf.

      Der Termin steht, Mitch. „Visions“ schreibt: „Die Musik des kauzigen Könners klingt so kaputt wie schon lange nicht mehr“. Kaputt wie Bush´s Amerika, denke ich.

      Tom Waits mag skurrile Bilder, wenn es gilt, seine Arbeit zu beschreiben. So hat er auch sein neues Album auf seine Art charakterisiert. „Real Gone“ sei wie ein „alchimistisches Universum voller rasselnder Ketten, schwingender Rhythmen und Acht-Pfund-Hämmern“. Das klingt verdammt gut.

      DAY AFTER TOMORROW

      I got your letter today and I miss you all so much here
      I can´t wait to seee you all and I´m counting the days, dear
      I still believe that there´s gold at the end of the world
      And I´ll come home to Illinois on the day after tomorrow.

      It is so hard and it´s cold here and I´m tired of taking orders
      And I miss old Rockford town up by the Wisconsin border
      What I miss you won´t believe; shoveling snow and raking leaves
      And my plane will touch down on the day after tomorrow.

      I close my eyes every night and I dream that I can hold you
      They fill us full of lies everyone buys about what it means to be a soldier
      I still don´t how I´m supposed to feel ´bout all the blood that´s been spilled
      Will God on his throne get me back home on the day after tomorrow.

      You can´t deny, the other side don´t wanna die any more than we do
      what I´´m trying to say is don´t they pray to the same God that we do?
      Tell me, how does God choose? Whose prayers does he refuse?
      Who turns the wheel? Who throws the dice on the day after tomorrow.

      Mmm…

      I´´m not fighting for justice, I am not figthing for freedom
      I´m fighting for my live and another day in the world here
      I just do what I´ve been told, we´re just the gravel on the road
      And only the lucky ones come home on the days after tomorrow.

      And the summer, it too will fade and it brings a winter´s frost, dear
      And I know we too are made of all the things that we have lost here
      I´ll be twenty-one today, I´ve been saving all my pay
      And my plane will touch down on the day after tomorrow
      And my plane ti will touch down on the day after tomorrow.
