Have you ever seen the gravelly-voiced, bowler hat-sportin', Jim Jarmusch movie-starrin', probably-brushes-his-teeth-with-moonshine genius that is Tom Waits...LIVE?? Nope, us neither.

And you know why? Because the man close to never tours. And when he does, it's usually not to godforsaken, off-the-beaten-path places like NY and LA. No, the man prefers spots like Mobile, AL. And it's all due to his mystical method of booking shows -- for instance, this tour, as evidenced in the kinda psychedelic clip above, may be the first ever planned to correspond with the constellation "hydra."

So if you're within road-trip distance of any of the stops on the "Glitter and Doom" tour, spend your rent money on inflated gas prices and go see him play. The man is inimitable!! (Except by Scarlett Johansson...?)

The Raconteurs (i.e. Jack White with an actual band) kick off their tour esta noche in Nashville. Go watch them play. In case you haven't seen it, that's the video for "Salute Your Solution" up above -- it's the first single off their suddenly-dropped Consolers of the Lonely album.

Also, we’re into the band's totally lo-fi, Logo-era website. (Websites are places where you can find virtual information that you used to have to look for in zines.)

Dates -- some with the Black Lips and the Fiery Furnaces, who we also like -- after the jump. Read More...
