The Tom Waits Map, An Interactive Map of Every Location Mentioned In the Songs of Tom Waits

Jonas Nordström, a WordPress developer in Landskrona, Sweden, has built “The Tom Waits Map“, an incredible interactive map that plots every location mentioned in Tom Waits‘ songs. Jonas matched all of the locations to the corresponding lyrics, songs and albums, then linked the song titles to Spotify wherever possible. He’s currently accepting donations through PayPal to keep this project going.

Cliffs of Dover, UK – Buzz Fledderjohn, Orphans

Coney Island, Brooklyn, United States – Table Top Joe, Alice

East St. Louis, United States – Time, Rain Dogs

Iowa, United States – Heart Attack and Vine, Heart Attack and Vine

Melbourne, Australia – Town With No Cheer, Swordfishtrombones

Speaking as a dedicated Raindog, something like this wonderful map has been long overdue.
