i'm not gonna listen to this cos i've got a nice picture of this woman in my head from lost in translation and while that movie was only good on a sensory level she looked very good in this film so no thanks

in between this and describing sexual intercourse with mkkmypet, lar's posts today have been at an all time low.

im actually serious about this though

with the exception of what i mention i dont see how this qualifies at bad production at all... i find it quite interesting actually.

I like the parts where she isn't singing, she sounds so monotone and quite clearly hasn't got a nice tone to her voice

Is it just me or are her vocals way too low in the mix or this a stylist thing common in Tom Waits music (I've not really listened to much of his stuff)

not even Without A... was cut so that says a lot huh

that was a highly experimental and artistic piece about the state of post aparthied africa

(it sounds like one of them YOUTUBE COVER videos, it's really weak. The singing is dull and there is NO CHARACTER)
*puts on swordfishtrombones to drown it out

Wash Cycle, that isn't news. Tom Waits has been a goddamned genius since the early 70's.

And after hearing that, wow... just wow. Who told her this was a good idea? I doubt it was a Waits fan.

She doesnt even have a... husky voice

I could understand the singer from Portishead covering Tom Waits.. or Cat Power or something but definitely not someone like Scarlett Johannson

to be fair we has kind of a husky voice when she talks, so idk i sort of expected it to carry over to when she sings too!
