[Wonderful Labs] DIAMONDS AND WONDER

[Wonderful Labs]

Dear Mister Wonderful,

	I don't know how 'big a listener' you are of Tom Waits but here goes:

	Have you heard Tom Waits' new CD?  And if so, what do you think?   
Compared to his other offerings, that is.  And, depending on how much  
of Mr. Waits you listen to, what is your favorite  
cd/album/cassette/8-track?

Hope you return to pimping wisdom soon,
Mr. Siegal

Dear Frank's Wild Ears,

	Hey, let's get right to your amazing and smoky musical query.   As  
they say, "Tom Waits for no man."

	I have *not* heard this new disc from the gravel-voiced ivory-tickler  
from Pomona, but I'm sure it's a corker.  That boy could sing the  
panties off a mourning nun.  Like I say, I don't know about the latest  
release because my schedule has been packed with things like, oh,  
preserving  the reality you call "real" from time-traveling Chinese  
marshmallow pirates.  No, don't bother to get up.  It's all over now.

	As should be obvious, Mister Wonderful has a tremendous weakness for  
the "Rain Dogs" album.  http://www.geocities.com/misterdark23/wait.html  
  There's just a ton of chunky goodness there.   But listen, pal - I may  
have gained weight while battling the Cream Bun Throwers of the Amazon,  
but there's no call for that "big listener" crack.  I was busy saving  
your ass from an unspeakably sticky menace which you don't have  
clearance to discuss, so don't bother to tell me these pants are  
unflattering -- just thank me.
