Ok, prognosticators. Spill your best "Permission to Come Aboard, I Breathe Better Under Water, Never Bring a Gun to a Spoon Fight" guess on this thread.

What will Waits bring us tomorrow August 7th 2012? Tour, new album, insanity?

Your chance to go on the record as the TWF.com clairvoyant extraordinaire.

One post each. As detailed as you dare. Or not.

:drool:

Cruise. If he doesn't want to tour and would prefer to take the residency route it's the best explanation. I certainly hope it's not a cruise. 2nd guess? European tour ala Real Gone tour.

It will be an album, I just know it. I had this dream and I saw clearly $15.99 ($17.99 for deluxe version plus tax...).

If it would be a tour I would see 159.99 or somethning.

I'll be too sad if no tour, so my answer is he'll be some dead boat captain who went down with his ship (and stayed there) in either another Pirates sequel (with Johnny and Keith) or it'll be a spin-off.

Far fetched, but who the devil knows? And if he does, he's not talkin'. :evil:

Ha Suz.

I'm going to say album. Enthused by RR Hall of Fame+ wide variety of themes for this preview.

Can't be a video.

Can't be a single

Tour- maybe, but why the non BAM theme?

Rehash of failed Robert Wilson project?

Extra experimental deep cuts for the fan, while BAM was to woo new more commercial fans?

New album. There. Said it. Tom's weird side cuts loose.

I thought a video, because they look like video stills to me. It could be any song because Tom is weird and doesn't always make sense, haha.

But a soundtrack or some weird album like that...maybe MORE songs that didn't make BAM...some sort of album?

I really don't know. I don't think cruise or tour, as much as I want a tour. And I don't want all this teasing to be "just" for a video.

MAYBE HE WROTE A WEIRD CHILDREN'S BOOK?!

I will guess some new music of some sort and form.

Way to cover every base. :clap: :notworthy:

Children's book. Those would be interesting grown ups, no doubt.

Still going with a tour. Although there's some very convincing evidence from the LA Times via an Eyeball Kid in the other thread that suggests its an album, and they are in fact song titles.

When do you think the announcement will happen? In twenty-eight minutes? Lunchtime tomorrow? Tomorrow night? When did the PDHSKJMBA (or however the fuck you spell pudskajumba) announcement happen?

mrrrrrrrrrrph......

No clue. But I don't think it's a tour... :(


I'll laugh if its the Corbijn book... :whistle:

Maybe a concert film, a la Big Time?

book of poetry... :?:

Maybe a recording of the soundscape Tom designed for the Norfolk and Norwalk Festival? (thanks, Jeremy, for the original link)


Mid route, participants will be able to sit back and relax in specially designed chairs while listening to sound composed by Tom Waits.

I still think it is a cruise tour of some sort. A Resisdency type of performance schedule would meet his desire, and his core fans. Close quarters, so easy to limit close contact with the fans that he prefers to keep at arms length (which is fine). We'll know soon enough.

I hope it isn't a cruise because I would never ever ever EVER be able to afford that.
