Dangerous Amusements: the Elvis Costello playlist
Music:Music Commentary
New York Times features editor Jim Windolf is the man behind the legendary Costello’s 500 feature for Vanity Fair.
In the landmark November 2000 essay, Elvis identified 500 albums “essential to a happy life”, from ABBA to Zamballarana.
In this episode, Jim recalls his inspiration for the feature and the process of working on it with Costello. He also reflects on interviewing Elvis and an incredible range of live gigs he’s watched over the years.
Jim also picks six of his favourite Elvis Costello songs to add to the Bedroom Alibis playlist.
