Song by Song Launches on September 26th

September 19, 2015

Song by Song podcast launches on September 26th with our first season, covering the beloved "Closing Time" by Tom Waits. Every episode will feature a different track from the album until we've gone through the whole glorious record (repeat after me) Song by Song. You can visit us here, you can listen on soundcloud (we'll be adding a playlist of the Closing Time episodes as they come out), and we'll be announcing new episodes via twitter - but if you're worried about missing a show, maybe you should subscribe on iTunes, or via some other kind of RSS business like Android or something.

We're planning a listening party to celebrate the new series, but before that, why not refresh your memory? Closing Time's widely available from all your favourite music retailers and you should really have a listen before you become prejudiced by our noisy opinions.
