One of my dreams is to stumble into a smokey piano bar and Tom Waits is playing "The Piano Has Been Drinking". sidenote: one of Tom's first US tours, Tom Waits opened for Frank Zappa.

I saw him about 5 years back, couldn't wait for him to return(Pharoah returned to Seattle once since, but the show got cancelled). I know he had a few shows last year in NYC. Does anyone know if there is an official website for Pharoah Sanders?

Tom Waits does tour, sporadically. I saw him last year in Vancouver on his Real Gone Tour. Great performer and he is a crack-up with his between-songs stories/jokes. Most, if not all, of his shows sell-out very quickly. If you are a fan and have any opportunity to attend a show, go. If you...

the reunion of the fugees and a new studio album released hopefully in spring of 2006.

1. Johnny Cash- The Christmas Spirit. In a country/christmas manner that only Johnny could pull off. If you don't cherish Johnny Cash, do not bother. I have a friend who swears Cash recorded this album while on acid. 2. Christmas Remixed Vol I and II. Various traditional artists performing...

A lot of great advice so far. My response to OP's search for GD albums: 1. Without A Net 2. Grateful Dead(actual name of the album) 3. Dick's Pick's Vol 6. 4. American Beauty

If I were in Tokyo and seeking portables for $60US.....I'd seek out the ATH-EM7 clip-ons. ATH-EM7 won't be as bassy as EX71, more balanced sound(INMO, a serious sound quality upgrade from EX71)....comfortable, quite durable and stylish design. And if you don't enjoy the ATH-EM7's, drop me...

the roots, jurassic 5, a tribe called quest, brother ali, jean grae and always a great starter-lauryn hill album, the miseducation of lauryn hill.

I have only heard reports, not actually seen pictures/videos, of the headphones that NFL's pouty WR, Terrell Owens, have been recently sporting. I am curious if anyone knows which headphones that have been frequently mentioned during sport shows? I was wondering if he is even listening to...

For cycling, I find ear clip models work well....secure without helmet interference. I'd recommend the Audio-Technica ear-clip line. Why? lightweight, aerodynamic design(not bulky), snug/secure/comfortable fit(for me, anyways), ear pads sit flush to the ear(minimizes wind noise...this was a...

Great player, very good price at $99 brand new. I've been using my Nitrus for 1 1/2 years, almost daily, cycling/running/travelling. I am much harder on my Nitrus than recommended, no problems.

A bamboo Japanese ear cleaner called a 'mimi-kaki'. It is very effective. However, it breaks your mama's rule about sticking foreign objects into your ear.
