Song by SongCannon Song / Jayne's Blue Wish / Dog Treat, Orphans, Tom Waits [386/387/388]Heading into the final tracks from Orphans, Tim, Martin and Sam discuss the ruinous junkyard dog that is Waits’s music, with another track from Brecht/Weill’s Threepenny Opera, some nursery rhyme cribs, and a bit of spontaneous(?) comedy. Waits delivers some aggressive anti-war sentiment, a song slightly lacking in specificity, and then finishes with a load of absolute bull. website: songbysongpodcast.com twitter: @songbysongpod e-mail: songbysongpodcast@gmail.com Music extracts used for illustrative/review purposes include: Cannon Song, Orphans: Brawlers Bawlers & Bastards, Tom Waits (2006) Jayne's Blue Wish, Orphans: Brawlers Bawl...2023-03-0138 min

As Karyn discovered her passion for her early morning scripture study, at age fifteen, her passion grew into a time for "scripting" sweet journal entries where she envisioned and imagined how each woman might have felt; as she put herself into each setting found in an...2021-06-1859 min

With as many tangents in our conversation as there are in the film itself, lots of positive thoughts about a film all four hosts feel is fundamentally flawed, and with a very respectable Flixwatcher-patented-scoring-system-score, we end up with a varied but engaged response to the movie.

Coppola, 1982) [077/F01]Sam and Martin join forces with Dave and Cathy of the Cinemile Podcast this week to take on the film that Francis Ford Coppola wouldn't even put his middle name to... One From The Heart. Debating the intention and execution of the film, as well as it's narrative strengths and weaknesses, the performances therein, as well as some of the sexual politics of a failed romance story with a happy ending, the new entity of Song by Cinemile finally puts to rest the age-old question: where can you buy an affordable DVD player on a Saturday lunchtime?

We also revisit the perennial question of authenticity, as well as some of Larry Taylor's bass-playing excursions outside of his Heartattack work. Also: Martin has a cold.

Song by Song'Til The Money Runs Out, Heartattack and Vine, Tom Waits [073]We have some difficulties parsing the meaning of the track this week, as Sarah, Martin and Sam visit some confusing (and perhaps terminal?) lyrics in 'Til The Money Runs Out.

Song by SongSaving All My Love for You, Heartattack and Vine, Tom Waits [070]Back one more time with Miranda and Andy, we dive right into the gender politics of criticising women for breaking their shoes and dressing up like cars, as well as Waits borrowing the childrens television music of Bryan Daly (circa 1981, not 1986, apologies for that).

Whether the song is an honest rejection of marriage or just a cover for a sublimated desire to be told not to go fishing, we discuss the broader implications of mutual love vs. self-love and the fact that Sam isn’t typical of 1975 Americana - shocks all around!
