I really dig Tom Waits -- the broad mix of musical styles he incorporates, the narrative structure of his songwriting, melancholy, wry humor, and honest sentimentality, etc all resonate with me.<p>"Closing Time" and "Rain Dogs" are the Waits albums that I keep coming back to the most, but there are so many good albums and songs.<p>Wait's gravelly growl in this animated short sounds particularly menacing -- more so than I've noticed in my many years of Waits listening.
