33 1\/3: Tom Waits' Swordfisthtrombones

The beginning of a remarkable trilogy of amazing music or just an overrated gutter growl by a wannabe Beat poet?
33 1/3 Volume 053: Tom Waits' Swordfishtrombones by David Smay

5:30-6:00 we play the first 1/2 of the album.
6:00-7:00 we talk about the book & record.
7:00-7:30 we play the second 1/2 of the album.
7:45 - we give a copy of the album away
33 1/3 club is more of a music club than a book club. We're still following the the print order of 33 1/3, but we're meeting to discuss and listen to the album. And sometimes the book if you've read it.
We're encouraging you to read the book too as we may be referring to it, but it's not necessary to attend the club if you just want to listen to/talk about the record.
When buying the book for this club in the shop, let our bookseller know and you'll get a 15% discount off the cover price. Or, if you're ordering the book online, enter discount code: NEEDLEDROP to get 15% off.
