Tom Waits - Earth Died Screaming

Sunday, time for a classic.

"Earth Died Screaming" is a tune by Tom Waits, who is renowned for his frequently bizarre, otherworldly instrumentation. Engineer Tchaid Blake recalled the recording of this song to Uncut: "He wanted the sound of wood he'd heard on old Smithsonian records. He knew exactly the sound he wanted. We ended up outside with about seven or eight people surrounding Tom on their knees banging two-by-fours against stones or wood on the ground. Wonderful! They're credited as playing 'Sticks' on the record."

The song is featured in the 1995 movie 12 Monkeys.

"Earth Died Screaming" is taken from the tenth studio album "Bone Machine" by Tom Waits, released in 1992 on Island Records. It won a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album, and features guest appearances by LOS LOBOS' David Hidalgo, PRIMUS' Les Claypool and Brain, and THE ROLLING STONES' Keith Richards.

"Bone Machine" marked a return to studio material for Waits, coming a full five years after his previous studio album, Franks Wild Years (1987). The album is often noted for its dark lyrical themes of death and murder, and for its rough, stripped-down, percussion-heavy blues rock style.

Enjoy today's tune!

Tenacious D - Fuck Her Gently

Hey There Gurls and Guys!
Hope all is okey, I wanted to have something harder than I recently have been given u. So I thought I give you .....a gently, descretly touch of Tenacious D
:D



These 2 gentlemens have gave my world of humor and music much, I adore their playing with lyrics and the tunes are mmmmm :)

Did you guys know that Black said that the first song he enjoyed was ABBA's "Take a Chance on Me". His style was distinctly shaped by "big dinosaurs of rock" such as The Who and Led Zeppelin. In addition, Gass lists his influences as being Tom Waits and Tony Robbins. The band claimed that the inspiration for the song "Tribute" came after Black played Metallica's "One" for Gass, describing it as "the best song in the world",leading to an attempt to themselves write an even better song.



Gass has described Tenacious D's comic assertion that they are the best band as being "ridiculous because it's a matter of opinion". Black characterizes Tenacious D's comic nature as an antidote to "the masculinity of rock", adding "There's also something funny about the macho-ness of rock. Like the bands that are the fucking hardest rocking are like, 'We'll fucking kick your ass, dude... with our rock.
Russell Brand, All Shall Perish, The Lonely Island and Kanye West have in turn been influenced by the work of Tenacious D.

Ladys and Gents, here is Tenacious D with Fuck Her Gently,

Cheers, Thetania

Tom Waits - Bad As Me

Thomas Alan "Tom" Waits is an American singer-songwriter, composer, and actor. Waits has visited Tune Of The Day on several occasions. In 2011, Waits was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Waits currently lives in Sonoma County, California with his wife, Kathleen Brennan, and three children.

"Bad as Me" is the upcoming seventeenth studio album, due to be released on October 25, 2011 by ANTI- Records. The album is known to have been recorded as early as February 2011 and was officially announced for release on August 23, 2011 on Waits' official web site and various social media networks. On the same day, the title track, "Bad as Me," was released as the album's first single on iTunes.

The album is also Waits' first album consisting completely of new material in seven years since Real Gone (2004). Waits' label, ANTI-, recently agreed on a distribution deal with Warner Music Group allowing them to release the album internationally. This marks Waits' first release through the Warner organisation since Heartattack and Vine (1980).

Following an annoucement by Waits on his official web site on August 16, 2011 stating that he "will set the record straight," the artwork, track listing, song length and an audio clip of "Bad as Me" were released on Amazon and musicME. According to Waits, in a YouTube video announcing the release of Bad as Me, the leak of information "spoiled the surprise" of his announcement as the single was "going to go out everywhere, into the blood stream." The previous June, Waits posted a picture of a chalkboard, with the lyrics to the song's chorus, on his official web site and social media pages. The song is also the eight track on Bad as Me, due to be released on October 25, 2011.

 

 

Todays tune "Bad as Me" is a song written collectively by Waits and his wife Kathleen Brennan. Written and recorded during the sessions for his upcoming studio album of the same name, the song was released as Waits' seventeenth single on August 23, 2011 and was the first new studio material by Waits in seven years, since Real Gone (2004) "Bad As Me" is a raw noisy, bluesy piece, but in a characteristic and typical way and obviously unhinged. The song swings and I like this, it will be incredibly exciting to hear the whole album.





The album is due to be released worldwide on October 25, 2011 in three formats: a digipak CD version with a 32-page booklet and free digital download in FLAC, AAC or MP3; a deluxe edition two-CD version with 40-page booklet and free digital download; and a 180 gram LP and CD with a lyric sheet and free digital download. A sole digital download of the album is also available for pre-order on iTunes
Pre-order at Tom Waits Store.
