#924: townes van zandt - pancho and lefty (private concert, 1988)
the saddest song by the saddest man who’s ever lived, played in a goddamned honest to goodness holiday inn in texas. “lefty he can’t sing the blues all night like he used to,” he sings, leather-faced and i think a very sorrowful drunk.
townes van zandt, even in a motel room by a fern singing about kerosene and murder, looks like a priest.

Tom Waits - Eyeball Kid
Got into a long-form twitter talk tonight that got me all hopped up on Tom Waits and reminded me that this is one of my favorite songs. I had a friend once who lived in rural China for 3 years teaching violin and he told me that he used to go to this bar that had a medieval theme (like maces and iron maidens) and only played Tom Waits songs. I would go to that bar all the time were it here. Probably would move into it, cuddle the chairs and take naps between drinks.

If I could make my walls look like this I’d be thrilled.

I’ve never seen a drawing that hated hands this much. More like “winter is coming… for your hands” am I right? Eh??

capitalnewyork reblogged jaketbrooks:“Like a lot of New York institutions that have gone, it’s sad in a way. I don’t really ever crave sweaty, ice-cold slices of apple pie on a porcelain plate smooshed tight under a layer of plastic wrap, so I know on a certain level that my wish for the return of the Automat is just incoherent. It is sad that the old Penn Station was torn down, but that’s mostly because we still have to take trains sometimes, and to do so now means entering what one critic called the Vomitorium, the new Penn Station. Sue Simmons is leaving because, really, we don’t need that news report anymore.”
— Capital’s Tom McGeveran on the departure of Sue Simmons and loss of another New York institution.
