Slow Drag Special :: Photographs Can't Lie :: a Slow Drag with Tony Sacchetti
lundi 16 décembre 2024 • Durée 07:38
Today’s slow drag gives voice to an intrepid visual documentarian who puts the face to the name, splashes color in the corners of the nuance, and provides the proof that unicorns like our beloved entertainer truly do walk amongst us. It’s more than joy to pour over Tony Sacchetti’s evocative images of Mr. Costello in so many different settings. It’s an honor to scatter flowers at his feet as he dances us through a glimpse into how he does what he does so well.

Ballyhoo, my friend. The passion project is back again with another lyrics only episode.
My name is Remedy Robinson. And, for fun, let’s listen to the brilliant alternate lyrics of “Stalin Malone,” from Spike, released in 1989, off the 2001 Rhino re-issue of Spike. The songwriting is credited to Elvis Costello’s birth name, the recitation is credited to Elvis Costello.
"Stalin Malone" Lyrics
I'm going to make you even fear the dream you dream
Don't even think about it, don't make a wish
You think that I don't see you as you trawl those young weak fish
Hooked on those poor wonders, till they want you alone
Though they can't tell a cuckoo-clock from the squeals of saxophones
That's when they'll fear my name
I'm telling you the day will come when this man gets what he merits
Though people still wear animal skins to ward off evil spirits
Only wife-swapping and witchcraft woke the dormitory town
'Til horse's heads up in the trees came dripping down
Yes, horse's heads hung in the trees after the bird had flown
Did you wonder of my whereabouts as the powder room was blown?
Did anybody call my name?
In a room called creation, where you all obey my laws
Where Seconal is gravity and pain is like applause
You think that this phenomenon is some coincidence
I've got people everywhere, you're under my surveillance, in the pocket of my pants

Appreciation written, produced, and narrated by Remedy Robinson, MA/MFA
Ballyhoo, my friend. The passion project is doing something a little different today.
My name is Remedy Robinson. And, for fun, this inaugural lyrics-only slow drag, let’s listen to brilliant lyrics of “The Boy Named If,” from the album of the same name, released in 2022. The songwriting is credited to Elvis Costello.
I'm a lucky so and so
A fortunate stiff
You said you never knew me but I'm the one you want to be with
