Stuck In My Ear: Elvis Costello “Everyday I Write The Book”

Stuck In My Ear: Elvis Costello “The Angels Want To Wear My Red Shoes”
At their jangley, angsty best. Originally heard on 1977’s My Aim Is True. Elvis Costello And The Attractions (LIVE).

Stuck In My Ear: Robbie Robertson “Showdown At Big Sky”
Not really a huge fan of The Band. They always seemed so pretentious, and as far as their politics, well, Canada, you know, eh? However, Robbie Robertson solo from The Band, is a different performer. This song in particular sticks in my head. Lavishly produced, and as high quality as anything that Robertson has done.…

With the Wurlitzer and all old timey-sounding, it certainly never sounded like the Kinks as we knew them, but still a lovely little song. The video features the Über Acting! of Ray Davies. We could use a few more performers like him…
