This 1975 live studio album was Tom Waits' third release. It begins with a bit of sax, percussion and an intro by Waits. He's a bit of a stage comedian, telling jokes between songs, and giving little introductions before them. The music is beautiful, as with all of Waits' live work. One of the best is Better Off Without A Wife, all about a stag and his love of being alone. Playing after that is Nighthawk Postcards, which is another great story, this time of a journey through a town past dark.
An excerpt from Nighthawks at the Diner's-
Emotional Weather Report
With tornado watches issued shortly
Before noon Sunday, for the areas
Including, the western region
Of my mental health
And the northern portions of my
Ability to deal rationally with my
Disconcerted precarious emotional
Situation, it's cold out there

Get the Nighthawks at the Diner mug.When getting intimate with a partner, one waits until both are heated up physically and then brings in an outside cold hand to place aggressively on the other's genitalia.
I was so ready to go and then she pulled the Nightwalker and I fucking lost at the Battle of Winterfell.

Get the Nightwalker mug.Nighthawkers are basically people who stay up late on Facebook and they post just after midnight on your wall.
They get a fuck-off buzz out of it, apparently. Fuck knows why.

No Birthday posts yet. Well it is half five in the morning, but I have expected at least a couple of Nighthawkers by now.

Get the NIGHTWALKER mug.Awsome UK DNB producer, with over 60 tunes out and his own style and sound you can always expect the rave to jump off when someone drops his tunes! Also check out up coming releases on his labels, Nightwalker Recordings & Nightwalker Presents.
