"Tango Till They're Sore," Tom Waits' 22nd best song during the 1983-1987 era, is covered here by St. Vincent. It's pretty great! She sounds a little like Madeleine Peyroux, but maybe everyone sounds a little like Madeleine Peyroux when they're covering Tom Waits. Anyway, go listen. [Via]

In a wide-ranging post that begins with the mention of a collaboration between David Byrne and St. Vincent, Byrne discusses the process of writing with other musicians (including, naturally, Brian Eno). The whole thing is worth your time, but this part jumped out at me.
