Tom Waits' excellent "Orphans" album is being reissued on vinyl this December 8th with bonus tracks, and "Glitter and Doom Live" is out now. This here is a 78-minute companion disc to both of those. I took my favorite songs the August 2006 Orphans tour recordings posted on Dime, sequenced for maximum enjoyment and mixed them for optimal listenability in my car (quiet songs boosted, noisy songs quieted). It is a strictly non-professional affair made for friends, and I hope you will enjoy it too.

Songs included come from ten albums, with one unreleased cover (#15)
Only one song overlaps with Big Time (#3), none with Glitter & Doom Live
