Weekly Soundtrack

1. "Shore Leave" by Tom Waits...Somebody could write a book titled Uses of The Moon in Tom Waits Songs...
2. "If We Make It Through December" by Merle Haggard...If anybody wrote a song this good today I'd fucking keel over and die.
3. "Every Day You've Been Away" by Bebel Gilberto...We have our first repeat song. This song is so good and so strange. It sounds like a rehearsal take: the time wanders all over and her phrasing is bizarre and tentative in spots, but forget all that. It's so intimate and personal sounding, you almost want to be quiet so you don't disturb her.
