Tom Waits [ tickets ] plans to release a collection of live tracks recorded during his 2008 sold-out US and European tour on Nov. 24. The two-disc album, "Glitter and Doom Live," contains 17 cuts recorded during 10 different tour stops in cities including Birmingham, Edinburgh, Atlanta, Paris, Milan, Jacksonville and Dublin, according to a press release.

The second CD, titled "Tom Tales," features nearly 40 minutes of Waits' "quixotic ruminations" on topics ranging from "romantic spiders to injured vultures."

The vinyl version of "Glitter and Doom Live" will contain all 17 live tracks but not the "Tom Tales" material. Instead, the LP will be packaged with mp3 download instructions, which will allow the buyer to download the additional content.

Waits also has launched his first ever official website, where fans can find news, lyrics, photos, updates on recordings, tour info, films and more. The site will also be a resource for "wit and wisdom, strange but true tales and more imponderables on topics as far ranging as the origin of consciousness, the sexuality of Christ and the lonely journey of the male seahorse," according to a statement posted at the site.
