Listen to this track, the closing song on 1980's Get Happy!!, recorded quickly after a dreary American tour and with a pile of Northern Soul 45s as a means to create it. Yet, there were other forces that helped to make this particular track - scandal!
Picture the scene in a Columbus Ohio hotel bar, with a well-in-the-bag Costello, along with Attractions bassist Bruce Thomas, as well as members of Stephen Stills' band, including one Bonnie Bramlett. As such, we have something of the old guard... Read Full Story

So on two separate occasions, I ate at the Momofuku Ssam Bar and at the Noodle Bar ( http://www.momofuku.com/ .) Anyways, so my brother who lives... Read Full Story
