Tom Waits - Waits Presented Key To El Paso
Eccentric singer/songwriter TOM WAITS was shocked when a police officer joined him on stage at a gig in Texas, and presented him with an official key to the state's City of El Paso.
The Downtown Train star was playing an intimate set at El Paso's Plaza Theatre on Thursday (26Jun08) when a female officer approached the singer on stage.
And Waits thought it was a joke - telling the officer: "I paid all those tickets," and quipping, "She was dead when I got there."
However, the policewoman, Susie Boyd, hadn't come to arrest the star - she was there to award him the city's official key and a plaque of recognition.
And the usually downbeat singer was seemingly moved by the presentation, telling fans, "This is a first for me, a real first."

Formed in 1993 by Martin Quist (vocals/guitar), Magnus Carlsson (guitar), Anders Brorsson (basso), and Fredrik Wenzel (drums), Ablaze My Sorrow followed in the footsteps of similar Swedish death metal combos by incorporating stacks of line into their frenzied assaults. Replacement drummer Alex Bengtsson arrived in brief later the transcription of their number one demo, "For Bereavement We Cried," and moment guitar player Roger Johansson was added prior to 1996's debut record album If Emotion Still Burns, so Quist could nidus on his vocals. Both of them would exit, nonetheless, and new members Fredrik Arnesson (vocals) and Dennie Linden (guitar) performed on 1997's The Plague follow-up, released, like their first-class honours degree exploit, on the No Fashion label. Discouraged with their minimal success and inability to viewpoint out in Sweden's crowded heavy metal scene, Ablaze My Sorrow took an extended go against before welcoming new vocalizer Kristian Lönnsjö and making a replication in 2001 with their third base album Anger, Hate and Fury, merely noneffervescent, far-flung acceptance continues to circumvent them.
Martha Wainwright � I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too
Coming from the woman whose last album contained the track 'Bloody Mother F**king Asshole', you'd have been forgiven for thinking that the title of Martha Wainwright's second album would mean more of the same bitter, caustic sentiments of her folk-based and darkly emotional debut.
Sure, disparaging remarks and traces of resentment-fuelled relationships pepper her excellent follow-up but, unlike her debut, Wainwright manages to push these into a host of different genres, and melt them over fantastic swirling melodies.
The title is immense and points towards the mischievous, poignant, desperate and optimistic sentiments which fly around 'I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too'.
Though she has recently married, her life as depicted here bares anything but stability with Wainwright crafting wonderful but despondent lyrics out of a myriad of complicated relationships. On 'Jimi' she sings, "Sometimes I feel like there is no one/No one at all/That life is a myth and I won't be missed/When I'm gone", and this sense of loneliness is laced throughout the record.
Past relationships are the subject of 'The George Song', 'Bleeding All Over You' and 'You Cheated Me'; failed friendships are tackled on 'Hearts Club Band' and 'So Many Friends', while her mother's recent battle with cancer is dealt with on the Tori Amos influenced 'In the Middle of the Night'.
But, as mentioned, such subject matter is par for the course with Wainwright and the most staggering thing about 'I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too' is the range of genres and musical styles she flirts with. There's much variety here and, for the most part, it's all good.
Wainwright wraps her cigarettes-and-honey voice around the theatrical ('Tower'), which evokes Kate Bush, and then jumps straight into a number of pop songs, the most notable of which is the infectious 'You Cheated Me' - proving she more than has what it takes to skip into the mainstream if required.
A fun and decidedly pop-infused cover of Pink Floyd's 'See Emily Play' is nice but superfluous, while she takes her career to date full circle with 'I Wish It Were'. As the album's only out and out folk-flavoured song, some fans may miss the intimate, fragile touch of her debut, which has been replaced by freer and bigger sounding commercial songs.
Ultimately though, Wainwright has taken a huge raft of records, singers and influences and twisted them into a wonderfully diverse second album, crafted with no little skill or confidence, and which excels even the work of her elder sibling, Rufus.

Troyer In Sex Tape Scandal
The man who helped turn Paris Hilton into a sex tape star is now hoping to do the same for pint-sized funnyman Verne Troyer. Footage from a sex video featuring the Austin Powers star and a former girlfriend has appeared online after a third party got hold of the tape, which was shot in the apartment Troyer shared with his ex. Website Tmz.com, which has obtained an extract from the video, claims sex tape dealer Kevin Blatt, who brokered the deal for Hilton's One Night In Paris romp, is in negotiations to distribute the footage.
