Dead and Lovely

So I watched 'Wristcutters - A Love Story' recently, it's got this great song by Tom Waits in the opening scene:


It's a good film too, definitely worth a watch. Post up your favourite Tom Waits songs in the comments, he's such a prolific artist, I know I probably havn't heard some of his best.

  1. Definitely been meaning to listen to more Waits, Bone Machine & Closing Time are both great though.

  4. Etgar keret, the guy that wrote the short stories the film is based on is well worth checking out. Each story is around three pages long and thouroughly entertaining. one three page story genuinely made me laugh and cry within it's short duration.

    Awesome post and sorry for going slightly off topic.
