Saving All My Love For You - Heartattack And Vine [070]

Sam and Martin are back for one more debate with Andy and Miranda over the musical stylings of Tom Waits, this time with 100% more lyrics. With some strong analysis of Whitney Huston's musical (and cricketing) pedigree, as well as a lot of description of the home life of the Zaltzmans, Song by Song grabs the reins of this particular hoss and holds on for dear life.

In Shades (Instrumental) - Heartattack And Vine [069]

Song by Song re-tasks itself as Bid by Bid, as we start our in-depth examination of the auction history of Andy Zaltzman, keyboard by keyboard. With discussion of why on earth Waits includes this track on the album in the first place, we retain our laser-like focus on our project by discussing brand names of electric pianos, slooping to alleviated Ds and who knows what else.
