Tom Waits: "Staying in touch with your childhood becomes more and more difficult, but also more and more important. You can pick up anything and play it - you just have to know what to consider valid and what to consider invalid. When we were doing Down By Law, John Lurie [Waits' co-star who also leads the Lounge Lizards] picked up a big old drain pipe out in the swamp and started blowing through it. And it sounded like a didjeridoo, you know? If you can get yourself to that place where you can attack things like a kid and not be so adult about it, then it opens a window to things."
"I try to stay open to as many choices as I can. It can be 13 bass players, it can be recorded outside, it can be done in the bathroom. There's a lot of ways to skin a cat. Being in the studio is like organizing noise. I just had to learn how to know exactly what I wanted and not be satisfied until I heard it. It's a journey, it's like being a scavenger.

You been asking for it, so here it is! This month we’re back at it again and collaborating with ABC archives to dust off rare music videos, interviews, footage, and full episodes of classic ABC music television programs from the 1970s through to the early 2000s.

We’re kicking it off this week and rewinding the clock five decades to the 1970s and early 1980s to unearth rare Countdown, GTK, and Flashez footage, some of which was lost or taped over, only to be recently uncovered and donated to the ABC by avid collectors.
