(http://www.anti.com/catalog.php?id=69) Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers and Bastards

3 CD collection of rare, unreleased and new songs due out November 20th(21st in USA). You can download 3 of the new tracks (http://www.anti.com/media.php?id=1) here. Two brawlers and a bawler. I've been listening to "Road to Peace" for a few days now, it's one of his few political songs and god damn it's good.

"Now at King George Ave and Jaffa Road passengers boarded bus 14a
In the aisle next to the driver Abdel Mahdi Shahmay
And the last thing that he said on earth is "God is great and God is good"
And he blew them all to kingdom come upon the road to peace"

Also, rumor has it that Scarlet Johansson is working on an album of Waits covers. ((http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,221001,00.html) link)

The video for Lie To Me was released yesterday or the day before that or something ANYWAY the song may be a tricky pill to swallow but the video absolutely kicks ass and everyone needs to see it.
