2017 boardie survey

So wait.  If I – AND IM NOT SAYING I DID – but if I were to have enjoyed a sufganiyot last week, would I need to repent?  Should I refrain from getting a paczki this year?  To whom should I apologize?  Am I to feel bad about my behavior?
Maybe the atheists need to come up with their own raspberry jelly filled donut-centric holiday.
I'll get this back on track.

Regarding Tom Waits. . .
Should (or is) his discography ever split between like pre/post Swordfishtrombone?
I feel like that was a point of jettisoning of what would have been a generally respectable sound of possibly diminishing returns for a sound that eventually "music snobs" would use is juxtaposition of earlier trend to deify him to some degree as a some sort of hobo Buddha.
I think that he probably would have followed a trajectory of a Randy Newman or (probably more likely) Warren Zevon if he hadn't made the change (which I think is interesting as all three started at the time as piano based composers and had a relationship with the Eagles, but aren't exactly thaaaaaat west coast).
I like him, I appreciate the faux jazz and think that he works in an idiom of non-traditional (broadly speaking) pop.
My girlfriend hates it all. . . early stuff is too boring and later stuff just sounds like he needs water.

This post is Space-approved. Nice.
I think the thing I loathe most about Tom Waits is that the track he contributes to on Sparklehorse's It's A Wonderful Life sullies what is otherwise a masterpiece.
