    Show notes

    Next week Song by Song pushes into Waits's 2004 release Real Gone, but before we kick off, Sam & Martin acknowledge the remaster changes, how the show will deal with these different versions, and handle any other business arising.

    The Dead Don't Die (film, dir. Jarmusch, 2019) [F23] Mar 30, 2022
    Show notes

    Returning to wrap up our film mini-season, Leigh Singer helps Sam and Martin break down this zombie/comsumerism/meta mash-up. With some slight disappointment in this compared to other Jarmusch (and other zombie) films, we question the purpose of his story and his enthusiasm for the genre. And Tom Waits gets to be a weird hobo in the woods too.

    The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (film, dir. Gilliam, 2009) [F19] Mar 16, 2022
    Show notes

    Podcaster and theatre producer Bridie Donaghy joins Sam and Martin to consider some confusing plot and dense visuals from Heath Ledger and friends. CGI cobras, late-noughties-heart-throb recasting and the quasi-autobiographical themes of Gilliam's fairytale are all discussed, as well as Tom Waits in ear-hair prosthetics.

    Coffee and Cigarettes (film, dir. Jarmusch, 1993/2003) [F17] Mar 09, 2022
    Show notes

    Song by Song is delighted to welcome film journalist Leigh Singer, as we dive into another Jim Jarmusch anthology film. We consider the relationship of Waits to Iggy Pop, his position as a film actor in 1993, as well as taking a look at the successes and failures of the other chapters (and the film as a whole). website: songbysongpodcast.com twitter: @songbysongpod e-mail: songbysongpodcast@gmail.com

    Bearskin: An Urban Fairytale (film, dir. Guedes & Guedes, 1989) [F10] Mar 02, 2022
    Show notes

    Returning for another film mini-season, we reconvene for a sizeable Tom Waits role in a film of… debatable quality? Mostly forgotten by modern audiences, Sam and Martin find a few interesting elements to pick at, but mostly struggle to recommend this curio from the middle of Waits's acting career.

    Mailbag Episode #5 Feb 23, 2022
    Show notes

    Before we move on into more films and Real Gone, Sam and Martin dig into the letters, tweets and pigeon-post sent in by listeners over the last year or so, accepting corrections, embracing re-interpretations and talking about disappointing lakes.

    Show notes

    Rounding off our 20th season, Martin and Sam focus in on a few of the songs that appeared in Woyzeck but didn't make it to the album release, and then look back on Blood Money as the third Waits/Wilson-based collaboration (with a brief tangent onto superhero comics).

    A Good Man Is Hard To Find, Blood Money, Tom Waits [314] Jan 26, 2022
    Show notes

    The final song from Blood Money sees Martin and Sam come together to discuss optimism and bleakness, some of the repeating themes of the album and the play, and a possible lineage for this track reaching back through the 20th century.

    Show notes

    Pete Fraser is back with Martin and Sam, breaking down this unusual chunk of instrumental music from Waits's back yard. We discuss the use and origin of this track, and have an extended conversation on the work of saxophonist Colin Stetson, as Blood Money heads into its final turns.
