I hate Tom Waits covers. They suck. This does not suck. This is fucking hot as fuck. Crunchy, fuckin raw, strangled guitar. Throat crushed til it's dead. I want to marry her and kank the skull of this town under our feet. Roll in the street. Fuck on the sidewalk. Crack the condo complex stucco with a sledgehammer and go to Thanksgiving and be extra polite to my grandmother. I want to take this around the corner and dance in a pile of garbage. I wanna kiss this on the highway and swerve across eight lanes. I wanna wake up next to this. I wanna smash makers mark bottles out the window and bite this songs neck and laugh. I wanna marry this song.It is good.

I think this is the main point of doing a cover: to put something that belongs to you to the song and change it as you like. She did an excellent job covering Tom Waits!

god forbid her and john frusciante should get together, it would tear a hole in the universe.

she knows how to cover a song - it does not matter if you like it

That's even sicker, than the original...! Love it!!! :)

> less vocal tonal accuracyI think that is a huge part of the appeal to *a lot* of her work. I know she is capable of carrying a note, but the raw, arrhythmic, gut-driven, atonal vocal approach on many of her songs is so emotionally evocative, to me anyway.> she doesn't exactly capture the feel of the Tom Waits > she doesn't exactly make her own interpretation of the feelingYou can't have your cake *and* eat it too.+Wade Filewich

If you can spell haughty, you should be able to spell "board"... Just sayin'.

Bridgette Harrison

Dang this kinda sucks don't it?

@tchock But also rape. Don't get haughty on an internet comment bored, please. With all, genuine, due respect to the awareness you're trying to further, we've past the prescribing of language with Y2K. "Gay" is a synonym for "bad" again, but it's obviously inaccurate and tacky and has fallen from general use. You'll only wear out your (obviously very good-hearted) energy resurrecting the P.C. wars. Focus on solutions to the root cause- we've been treating symptoms for ages on this rock.

I usually love Cat Power, but she doesn't exactly capture the feel of the Tom Waits original in this cover. More than that, she doesn't exactly make her own interpretation of the feeling. It's the same song with less vocal tonal accuracy and slightly more modern musical equipment. I'm just not feeling it. :/

Wow, this is awesome

tchock

@vizz07 non-consensual sex is rape. this song is a cover of a tom waits song.
