It only took my little finger to blow you away



Elvis Costello performed this version of Watching The Detectives on SNL this particular evening only because the Sex Pistols had an issue with their US visas and had to cancel last minute. When you watch this great footage you realize:

1) How dope the song is (in case you forgot, cuz you never really choose to play it on your copy of EC's Greatest Hits).
2) How much the bass player looks like Tom Petty, and how effortlessly he smokes these ridiculously sweet bass lines.
3) The fact that Oasis pimped their look from the keyboard player (is this Steve Naieve?) And is that a jacket or shirt!?!?

and most IMPORTANTLY

HOW MUCH ELVIS LOOKS LIKE TONY BIANCHI!!!

I MEAN REALLY!

Pay attention to the close-up

Well, that was always the opinion of our dearly estranged C.P.

And i'd give anything to be the bass player. So rad. This is a smoking version of this song. Elvis really spits it out. Fucking cool.

But ... beyond that, looks like the silence has spoken!

I have to agree with JS on the Bianchi/Closeup call, the rest of the time he's 50-50 for me Woody Allen (Eyes) and Tim Smith.
