For a moment I feared Tom Waits had died when I read your playlist.

Rob Bitschofsky (host)
No no no, Relieved: Waits is alive and kicking, as far as I know. But I suddenly realized that we here at This Island Earth have never paid him sufficient attention, so I'm seeking to rectify that with a little Tom Waits set.

Hi hillbilly! Glad you enjoyed the Waits set. He is indeed a genius. I'll do another set on a future show. And man, it is SO COOL to be back to live radio!
