As promised, here's the video version of our podchat with @sam_clements last month - @sampay and @martinaustwick , finally in visual form! https://t.co/kM8e4EHTVO

One final indulgence, as @sam_clements hosts a wide-ranging discussion with @martinaustwick and @sampay about their experiences making this very bad idea of a show https://t.co/bC2om6R4yJ

[Song by Song Podcast @SongBySongPod]

That's all the Tom Waits we've got, so @sampay and @martinaustwick join @sam_clements of @90minfilmfest for a final chat about music, friendship, and what it takes to make a weekly podcast https://t.co/uBz0Mdtd6N

@andrewmaton We used Pubmeeple - stick a list of songs in there, and you can do quick brute force rankings of anything.

@TheeBert @sampay @martinaustwick What's the point without key changes though?!?!?

[Song by Song Podcast @SongBySongPod]

Forget the previous few-hundred episodes, let's just get to the heart of it: "What's your favourite Tom Waits song?" @sampay and @martinaustwick finally provide their answers https://t.co/DyfEa6qXRR

@MattBrownnutt @sampay @martinaustwick ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Song by Song Podcast @SongBySongPod]

@Dbrownnutt @sampay @martinaustwick It’s time to accept that we just want different things from this life Duncan…

[Song by Song Podcast @SongBySongPod]

Art is subjective... but a music podcast has to come up with a final list, as @martinaustwick and @sampay discuss their personal highs and lows from the last 8 (or 50) years of Tom Waits's music https://t.co/bS5umhfoWf

[Song by Song Podcast @SongBySongPod]

Fun discovery while updating embeds on the website - a good (and almost complete) recording of the Alice Demos.

These weren't up when we did our Alice season, but they're worth a listen.

A 400+ podcast series is perhaps a little intimidating for a new/casual Tom Waits fan, so @sampay and @martinaustwick boil down some of their suggestions into a digestible format for listeners looking for a place to begin their journey https://t.co/lL2B6CBCut

We’ve done our best to compile the True Orphans we talked about on the show - a few are True True Orphans that we couldn’t find, but the rest are here: https://t.co/U58HK0V7HP

and for the tracks on YouTube (most of them) - here’s a handy playlist:

As the podcast attempts to achieve comprehensive coverage of all the Waits-related material, Philippa Spanos, @martinaustwick and @sampay return for a second week of music video / promo content https://t.co/1XFJvvAJgp

[Song by Song Podcast @SongBySongPod]

More discussion between Philippa, @sampay and @martinaustwick around the various Waits music videos from 1999 onwards https://t.co/zWkOmQkzqL

@MattBrownnutt @martinaustwick @sampay I can totally see it as an approach for the industry - more like the assembly-line process of Hollywood in the 30s, craftspeople ready to put together the next unit.

But it is strange to think about in a modern "video art" context. Worth considering for a lot of MTV stuff tbh.

[Song by Song Podcast @SongBySongPod]

Returning to her Song by Song roving-reporter role, Music-TV alumnus Philippa Spanos breaks down the first decade or so of Music Videos from Tom Waits, ably abetted by your regular DJs @martinaustwick and @sampay https://t.co/q30nfIpTvf

[Song by Song Podcast @SongBySongPod]

@Dbrownnutt @MattBrownnutt @martinaustwick @sampay There's clearly a lot to unpack here... but I'm afraid our hour is over, we can pick this up in next week's session, see Tina at reception to make an appointment.

Friends:

Yesterday I created a new tab on the website, collecting all the links to all of the unreleased Waits material we hunted down for the True Orphans series.

Music Videos have often been overlooked here at Song by Song, so Philippa Spanos rejoins @sampay and @martinaustwick to dig through the space between the songs and the films of Tom Waits https://t.co/MH2KtwBNtI

[Song by Song Podcast @SongBySongPod]

Hitting on the 2023 remasters, Polish translations of Waits and all the advantages of having an extra finger, @sampay and @martinaustwick dig through their bulging sack one last time https://t.co/8Pv0ZGUldv
