Tom Waits has announced that Bad As Me, his 20th studio album, will be released by Anti- Records on October 25th. The record will be available in a basic 13-track edition as well as a deluxe version with three bonus songs. "Bad As Me," the album's first single, is already on sale in the iTunes digital store.

To hear a few brief snippets from the new album, you can check out the video below, in which the eccentric singer plays a few clips before deciding that his "private listening party" could not possibly be private in the Internet era.

"Get Lost"
"Face to the Highway"

A guy walks into a bar. He is very drunk and staggers up to the bar, sits down, and asks the barman for a drink. The barman politely informs the man that it looks like he has already had plenty to drink and that he could not serve him. The barman offers to call a taxi. The drunk is a little surprised but climbs down from the bar stool, and staggers out the door. A few minutes later, the same drunk walks in the side door of the bar. He pushes up to the bar and yells for a beer. The barman comes over and refuses service to the man and again offers to call a taxi. The drunk looks at the barman for a moment curses, and staggers out the side door. One minutes later, the same drunk staggers in through the back door of the bar. He sits himself on a bar stool, and orders a whiskey. The barman comes over and reminds the man that he is drunk and will not be served. He then tells him that he can either call a taxi or the police. The surprised drunk looks at the barman and says, "My Goodness! How many bars do you work at?"
