But Hey... I'm Big In Japan

Tom Waits magic time.

Tom Waits - Big in Japan [mp3]

I got the style but not the grace
I got the clothes but not the face
I got the bread but not the butter
I got the winda but not the shutter
But I'm big in Japan, I'm big in Japan, But hey I'm big in Japan

I got the house but not the deed
I got the horn but not the reed
I got the cards but not the luck
I got the wheel but not the truck
But hey I'm big in Japan, I'm big in Japan, I'm big in Japan

I got the moon, I got the cheese
I got the whole damn nation on its knees
I got the rooster I got the crow
I got the ebb I got the flow
I got the powder but not the gun
I got the dog but not the bun
I got the clouds but not the sky
I got the stripes but not the tie
But hey I'm big in Japan, I'm big in Japan, I'm big in Japan

Hey ho they love the way I do it
Hey ho there's really nothing to it

I got the moon I got the cheese
I got the whole damn nation on their knees
I got the rooster I got the crow
I got the ebb I got the flow
I got the sizzle but not the steak
I got the boat but not the lake
I got the sheets but not the bed
I got the jam but not the bread

But hey I'm big in Japan, I'm big in Japan, I'm big in Japan

I'm big in Japan, I'm big in Japan

I love this man. The end.

Hurt So Good

Hurt So Good; Sometimes a collaboration does just that. Another N.A.S.A. track has broken and let me just say "Spacious Thoughts" literally gives me the chills. I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more Spirit of Apollo. No, not more cowbell Bruce Dickenson! More North America South America!! Bill my insurance.

Tom Waits was such an amazing choice for this collaboration. I might like this better than the blitzfest that was Kanye/Lykke/Santi's "Gifted"! Please, please listen.

In perpetration for my inevitable obsession with this record I'm cleaning house. Watch out MGMT, Mr. Oizo, TV on the Radio; there simply isn't enough time for me to stalk you all anymore. Someone will be eliminated from the inner circle tonight. And no, NO one has immunity...

Just Peace,
