Sheesh...The voice is seriously weak, though, as noted, the production is glorious. She just sounds strident to me.

Ah, the voice. Yes, well. Thought we'd come to that. A less convincing Martha and the Muffins, anyone? She kind of has that 80s, artless, throwaway school of singing going on. But I'm a big Scarlett fan. I don't rate her as a singer but she's actually a very very good actress. Anyone seen Girl with the Pearl Earring? She must have had an A4 sheet of dialogue and yet was on screen 80% of the time - she carried that film by her presence. And she was very cool in Lost in Translation. Who else could have got away with those huge knickers? Scarlett did. I hope she doesn't do the Juliet Lewis thing complete with viking horns... SHE was a good actress too.......https://www.blogger.com/profile/12459690684592261821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-45423118936089463502008-05-08T07:31:00.000+01:002008-05-08T07:31:00.000+01:00I rather like Scarlett's song.

It has a sort of Spiritualized meets Mazzy Star thing going on, with a bit of shoegazing added into the blend.<BR/><BR/>Scarlett sounds to me like a harder Hope Sandoval too, less breathy and ethereal, but not as much of a singer.<BR/><BR/>Love the visuals on the playback too.Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17068889968857575433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-33383580313860791092008-05-08T02:48:00.000+01:002008-05-08T02:48:00.000+01:00I think I prefer the not too cacophonous stuff, al...I think I prefer the not too cacophonous stuff, although I did end up warming to Come On Up To The House.

And it requires a bit of thought. Waits is hard because of that voice and because he ranges from almost sappy (Martha) to cacophonously hard to listen to (Kommienezuspadt ((is that even a real word, Nilpferd?))). I'll just say the first album I first heard is Rain Dogs--still love it. And I would try Nighthawks at the Diner. The album flows as a whole, I like it musically, and it has the bonus of being very funny.steenbeckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14870117999742670522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-57840238708594879862008-05-08T00:48:00.000+01:002008-05-08T00:48:00.000+01:00Ejaydee--I'll do a post!!

Now let's trade and tell me where I should start with Tom Waits.

Province truly is a stormer, beaten only by Wolf Like Me for my money.<BR/><BR/>As for Scarlett, it does sound a bit like she's consciously NOT singing, as if she wants to do a Waits impression but can't get away with it, so she's gone for a kind of anti-singing instead. Doesn't ruin it, for me though. I can see the Sinead comparison, too. It'll bear more hearing for sure...snadfrodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031570810395121782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-41721611414176903522008-05-07T22:05:00.000+01:002008-05-07T22:05:00.000+01:00I really love Tom Waits, and I have for a long tim...I really love Tom Waits, and I have for a long time.

So I didn't want to like it, and can't even listen to it rationally.
