There’s no bigger sucker for this Scarlett Jo sings Tom Waits while Dave Sitek twiddles knobs thing than me. Scarlett is one of my favorite faces in the world, Dave is one of my favorite twiddlers and Waits is Waits. But if this is where we’re going, we’re going home. This is one of the great, gutty, stonecold spleen-rippers of our time and they’ve washed it out, torn it down and thrown the spiritualize all over it. Beyond the obvious Waits touchstones - the voice, the gravitas, the slippery words - the arrangementsare just as crucial. Stop the violence.
