This is a song that The Dude can listen to after too many J's and White Russians, probably naked in the back of his car, wondering what the fuck happened, but taking it in a very Dude way.

What do you think of that one?
Oh man, I love Tom Waits and that's one of my favorites by him. If you like the album Mule Variations you should definitely check out Swordfishtrombones. A taste:

I think the Dude would like Captain Beefheart - Sure 'nuff 'n yes I do:

Also, I'm less sure, but I'd like to think the Dude would like Animal Collective - Summertime Clothes:

Yes, Tom Waits is definitely an independent spirit. There are moments I love him, there are moments I hate him, depends on how much he drank before grabbing the microphone ;) C'mon, some drunken songs have too much booze in them. But in general he's fine.
