Welcome back to Song by Song - we're taking a couple of weeks out before starting our fifth season on Foreign Affairs to listen to some music, watch some films, and argue about eggs. You're welcome to do the same, but please rejoin us later in August for more Tom Waits and sparkling repartee.
(Specifically, we'll be watching Pickup on South Street and They Live by Night - influences on Potter's Field and Burma Shave respectively, and available from all good film retailers)
Music extracts used for illustrative/review purposes include:
Cinny’s Waltz, Foreign Affairs, Tom Waits (1977)
