Which items on the list do you dig special?
John Lurie (lounge lizards) is amazing too.
If you are interested in the 'don't go fishing with John' quote you should check out a series of videos called Fishing with John. Mr. Lurie takes celebs fishing and films it. In the Tom Waits' episode Tom gets sea sick and is very grumpy untill they go back to shore to gamble and drink with the locals.

I haven't heard most of the stuff on the list, so I can't really comment. I would like to point my ears at that Houndog album that he mentioned.

That Fishing with John series is legendary, I really must make the effort to track it down.

Lounge Lizards by Lounge Lizards (EG) 1980
I got into this at the sweet age of 16. Stuff like this sent me off on a tangent that has been lifelong. Too young. I was too young! Great album. And great to see live. They were the support for King Crimson (still playing under the name "Discipline" - which became the name of the 1st 'comeback' KC album) when I saw them in London in 1981.
Lurie has done tons of interesting stuff since then - Knitting Factory stuff, films, collaborations with the likes of John Medeski, endless lists of fascinating buy-it-unseen stuff.
