Unfaithful
Music
&
Disappearing
Ink
provides
readers
with
a
master's
catalogue
of
a
lifetime
of
great
music.
Costello
reveals
the
process
behind
writing
and
recording
legendary
albums
like
My
Aim
Is
True,
This
Year's
Model,
Armed
Forces,
Almost
Blue,
Imperial
Bedroom,
and
King
of
America.
He
tells
the
detailed
stories,
experiences,
and
emotions
behind
such
beloved
songs
as
"Alison,"
"Accidents
Will
Happen,"
"Watching
the
Detectives,"
"Oliver's
Army,"
"Welcome
to
the
Working
Week,"
"Radio
Radio,"
"Shipbuilding,"
and
"Veronica,"
the
last
of
which
is
one
of
a
number
of
songs
revealed
to
connect
to
the
lives
of
the
previous
generations
of
his
family.
Costello
chronicles
his
musical
apprenticeship,
a
child's
view
of
his
father
Ross
MacManus'
career
on
radio
and
in
the
dancehall;
his
own
initial
almost
comical
steps
in
folk
clubs
and
cellar
dive
before
his
first
sessions
for
Stiff
Record,
the
formation
of
the
Attractions,
and
his
frenetic
and
ultimately
notorious
third
U.S.
tour.
He
takes
readers
behind
the
scenes
of
Top
of
the
Pops
and
Saturday
Night
Live,
and
his
own
show,
Spectacle,
on
which
he
hosted
artists
such
as
Lou
Reed,
Elton
John,
Levon
Helm,
Jesse
Winchester,
Bruce
Springsteen,
and
President
Bill
Clinton.
The
idiosyncratic
memoir
of
a
singular
man,
Unfaithful
Music
&
Disappearing
Ink
is
destined
to
be
a
classic.
