It looks like Tom Waits will be releasing a new album. Yesterday the living legend released the single “Bad as Me” via iTunes, and today announced an album of the same name.
In a video posted on his website, Waits explained how he feels about people leaking his albums before proper release, “Apparently there’s no such thing as private anymore…What if your wife was pregnant, and wanted to tell you she was pregnant…What if I spoiled your surprise? Would you be ok with that or what if you had root cancel and I asked you to gargle with root canal?” I would wait on the October 25th release date if you don’t want Mr. Waits showing up at your door with a dentist’s drill people.
