I know. It is pure idiocy. But until last night I imagined that I could listen to Costello's voice for life. It would always be moments where it hit me as strongly as ever before in all his countless Stockholm gigs the last twenty years. Yesterday they took over. Sudden it was over. "Almost Blue" flew by like a wilted coltsfoot, jealous drama "I want you" hit me with the force of a stifled yawn. So thank you for this time, Declan. Never have I had so outstanding bored in the company of an artist I've followed so intensely for so long. The burning disinterest was obviously mutual. In a stall in the foyer was sharp sticks — created in collaboration with Aimee Mann — to awaken bench neighbors who have fallen into a coma. It's basically exactly the same notion Costello has traveled around with the different configurations for almost ten years, but most of it looked like just yesterday — with Costello as a visually impaired Jump the Gun and Steve Nieve in a perfect junction of Professor Balthazar and Robert Wells on the piano. For every day that passes, I realize more and more how much I hate the ''North'', the latest in a line of Costello's increasingly self-righteous brothers Coen-like concept album. Some discs have to learn to detest. ''North'' is one such. It is believed at first that it will "grow". Nothing could be more inaccurate forecasts. It just keeps getting stiffer and sadder as each day goes by, so much that it has caused me to hate one orientation. Which in itself is impressive. Otherwise, everything as usual. He makes his funny monologue in "Gods comic" and I remember that I forgot banda "White House". He weaves routine as usual in some Smokey Robinson and Ray Charles where it fits and I wonder if we have milk at home or do I really go past 7-11? He makes a "Shipbuilding" so perfunctory that the Falklands War starts out as a pretty good idea. Maybe I should texting Lisa and check it out there with the milk? "Id rather be anywhere else but here today", as the self-appointed otidsenlige man himself put it.

Det blir bara värre, Elvis Costello

Jag vet. Det är ren idioti. Men ända till i går kväll inbillade jag mig att jag kunde lyssna på Costellos röst livet ut. Det skulle ju alltid finnas ögonblick där den träffade mig lika starkt som någonsin tidigare under alla hans oräkneliga Stockholms-spelningar de senaste tjugo åren. I går tog de slut. Plötsligt var det bara över. "Almost blue" flög förbi som en vissen tussilago, svartsjukedramat "I want you" drabbade mig med styrkan av en kvävd gäspning . Så tack för den här tiden, Declan. Aldrig har jag haft så enastående tråkigt i sällskap med en artist jag följt så intensivt, så länge. Det brinnande ointresset var uppenbarligen ömsesidigt. I ett bås i foajén såldes vassa pinnar — framtagna i samarbete med Aimee Mann — för att kunna väcka bänkgrannar som fallit i koma. Det är i princip exakt samma föreställning Costello har rest runt med i olika konstellationer i snart tio år, men oftast har den sett ut just som igår — med Costello som en synskadad Tommy Körberg och Steve Nieve i en fulländad korsning av Professor Balthazar och Robert Wells på piano. För varje dag som går inser jag mer och mer hur mycket jag hatar North, det allra senaste i raden av Costellos allt mer självgoda Bröderna Coen-lika konceptalbum. Vissa skivor måste man lära sig att avsky. North är en sådan. Man tror till en början att den ska "växa". Inget kunde vara en mer felaktig prognos. Den blir bara stelare och tråkigare för varje dag som går, så pass att den har fått mig att hata ett väderstreck. Vilket i och för sig är imponerande. I övrigt är allt som vanligt. Han gör sin roliga monolog i "Gods comic" och jag minns jag att glömde banda "Vita Huset". Han slentrianväver som vanligt in lite Smokey Robinson och Ray Charles där det passar och jag undrar om vi har mjölk hemma eller måste jag verkligen gå förbi 7-11? Han gör en "Shipbuilding" så oengagerat att Falklandskriget börjar framstå som en ganska bra idé. Jag kanske borde sms: a Lisa och kolla det där med mjölken? "Id rather be anywhere else but here today", som den självutnämnt otidsenlige mannen själv uttryckte det.
