Now, most of my friends know how much of a Tom Waits nut I am. Absolutely love his music, from every era. You can break down his music three ways, according to his record label affiliations: the Asylum era (jazz/blues/piano nightclub sound), the Island era (experimental, running a variety of awesome sounds), and his current vein at ANTI- Records (all over the place).

However, sometimes his lunacy puts me in the awkward position of wanting to smack upside the head one of my favorite artists. Take for example, his upcoming Glitter and Doom Tour. Watch the following video and learn something profound:



Plotting your tour locations in the shape of a constellation is, to be blunt, really f#cking awesome. However, I can't help but be incredibly infuriated that this tour is only covering the America Southwest. There are many people up here in New York that would slit a man's throat to see Tom Waits in all his live glory. While I'm trying to balance the fact that so many people are being left out of this tour, I can't help but smirk at the methodology.
