Can't think of another songwriter with a career as rich, diverse, creative and packed with masterpieces as Tom Waits, but this might be my favorite song from my favorite TW album

Some fans might remember, The Cure have played this live, in 1989-1992, mixed with Why Can't I Be You? and The Lovecats...

Is there video or audio of that?

My favorite version of this song is by Psapp, a brilliant (and Cure-influenced) pop duo who should be better known

Here it is.
Why Can't I Be You?/That Old Black Magic/Young At Heart/Everybody Wants To Be A Cat/The Lovecats/Why Can't I Be You?.
From Wembley Arena 1989. Aaaah, to have Entreat expanded to full show size...

By the way, this is That Old Black Magic.




And this is Young At Heart.



...so yes, The Cure have covered Frank Sinatra live, make of that what you want.

Thanks! I remembered something about them covering Young at Heart but didn't know about this medley.

It's not surprising, Robert often spoke about being a huge fan of Sinatra, citing this compilation in particular, which I can warmly recommend as well, it's great!

Two of my favorite pieces of music

One of the great postpunk bands

Life is only a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves

Haha yes I do think its the climate! We spend a lot of our times indoors, perhaps the gloom is the inspiration for many artists. But on the flip side, we have beautiful surroundings, wonderfully colourful people with a great sense of humour and an affinity with one another.

One of my favourite Scottish singers....

Hey chemicaloverload, lovely to see you here again. Hope you and the little one are keeping safe 💕


I'm still listening to Max Richter. This is one is delightful, and I love all the comments on YouTube about others experiences of it. I think this long weekend will be spent dozing to this music ☺️
