The answer to that question can be found by clicking on the link below: a YouTube video called Tom Waits’ Private Listening Party. In it, Waits plays snatches of songs from his new album, but also has his say on privacy. “Apparently there’s no such thing as private any more,” he says. “It’s an internet thing. They say that it’s gonna go out everywhere, into the bloodstream. I thought this was a private party: a sneak preview for you and me. Apparently not…” And then (we think) compares pre-release music privacy to turning up at someone’s birthday party and eating their cake early, or asking someone with a root canal to “gargle with raw sewage”. Marvellous. Source: Mashable
