Forty years ago, Tom Waits’ transformative creative breakthrough, Swordfishtrombones, was released into the wild, ushering in a new and critically acclaimed era for Waits and his longtime songwriting and production partner, Kathleen Brennan.

To honor this metamorphic period, Waits’ spectacular middle-period albums – released on Island Records between 1983 and 1993 – have been newly remastered from the original tapes for reissue on vinyl and CD via Island/UMe, personally overseen by Waits and Brennan.  Swordfishtrombones (1983), its sprawling and superb sequel, Rain Dogs (1985), and the trilogy-completing, tragi-comic stage musical, Franks Wild Years (1987), kick off the series today with their new vinyl releases.

Rain Dogs premieres today

Rain Dogs, the new TV series from Cash Carraway, is out today.

Rain Dogs chronicles the life of Costello Jones (Daisy May Cooper), a devoted mother who wants more for her precocious young daughter, Iris (Fleur Tashjian). As she hustles to survive, Costello leans on Selby (Jack Farthing), Iris’ pseudo father (and Costello’s pseudo soulmate), and Gloria (Ronkẹ Adékoluẹjo), the duo’s loyal yet chaotic godmother/best friend – together forming a makeshift swaggerous family bound by a complex but deep-rooted love and defiance towards a system built against them.

@saintse said: "Oh, okay, well, it’s official… You don’t get to name anything. Ever.”

"Actually, I do. I'm Supreme Name Magistrate." Her mouth screws to one side. On the opposite side, an eyebrow lifts. "Like, y'know, my taste is that good, even if you don't recognize it. Grab five randos off the street." She casts an upturned hand toward the window, then lets the gesture linger for dramatic effect. "They'd all cry if I renamed them. Happy tears. Duh. Can't help it, don't even have to try. It's my God-given right."

The shrug that follows oozes the obscene sort of cockiness only found in those who have not earned the right. Her head tilts to the side. She grins and props her head up on her fists as she leans in, across the table, toward Everette. "That's why your new name is Salvador Raindog. What's it mean? Fuck all! What's it sound like? Heavenly badassery. So, like, you're welcome."

VIFF 2024 Review: Luther - Never Too Much

Luther: Never Too Much is an intriguing documentary of Luther Vandross whose music we remember, but we didn’t know the whole story. I’m sure most of us who were teens from the 80’s or 90’s will remember the music of Luther Vandross. The documentary Luther: Never Too Much is a documentary that showcases the R&B legend’s career but also tell us of personal sides of the singer we never knew. The…

Empty Box: a song to deal with depression

My name is Raindog and I have suffered from depression. In the worst period of my life I felt like I was failing at everything. From the end of the relationship I was in, to being rejected by the school I really wanted to get into, to trying very hard and doing my best to be a good friend/daughter/sister (whatever it might be) but always ending up saying or doing the wrong thing. I had been low for a while but I reached my rock bottom when visiting some friends abroad. I remember waking up one morning on their couch in the semi-dark room and staring at the black TV screen for an hour, my mind completely blank and a sense of total void in my heart. Then there was absolute nothingness. Any task, even the most basic ones, required too much energy and will power, and I had neither. I felt completely alone and wasn’t able to ask for help, I was too ashamed and didn’t want to be a burden. But deep, deep down I had a tiny seed of hope, a part of me that really wanted to get better, to feel good again. That’s why I wrote Empty Box, pouring all of my sadness, fear and desperation into the lyrics, in the hopes that someone might understand what I was going through. No one heard or read the song until many years later, when I arranged it with some fellow musicians, and luckily by then I had already gotten out of my depression. But this song gave me words when I thought I had lost them all, it was an outlet for all of the pain. It’s the song I desperately needed to hear to feel understood, and especially to express what I couldn’t say. Many years later, I release it into the world, and if there is anyone out there who needs it as much as I needed it back then, then it’s yours too. You can have it. You can cling to it. You can let it go when you don’t need it anymore. If it can make even just one person feel a little less lonely and a little more understood, that’s enough for me. I hope it can carry the message that there will always be someone who has been there before us, we’re not as alone in our experiences as we think. Maybe they even got through it, maybe there is a happy ending. I am one of the lucky ones, and I hope with all of my heart that the light can find you too.
