Is sporting a band t-shirt a thing of the past? I hope not. Of all the shirts (collared and collarless) I own, I'd say roughly 75% are music or band related. I have record store t-shirts, the ambiguous "who-is-that-band?" t-shirt, the festival listing 25 different bands t-shirt, the record label t-shirts, and even the spoof t-shirts (ala Less Than Jake's pez dispenser homage to Slayer). We all bought overpriced concert t-shirts with the tour cities listed in alphabetic... MORE

Sort of proud of this Elvis Costello review where I wrestle with whether the quite good work of one of my all-time heros is quite good enough…It’s up at PopMatters today. Elvis Costello and the ImpostersMomofuku(Lost Highway) Elvis Costello, 30 years on since “Less than Zero”, sounds very much like Elvis Costello, abrasively intelligent, rhythmically unstoppable, harsh and soulful at the same time and, er, able to leap genres in a single bound. “American Gangster Time”...

I’m putting this up at jennythek.muxtape.com, (and also there’s a download link in the comments at 30secondsover.blogspot.com if you want to listen to the songs over an over until you’re sick of them. IMO, it will take a while.) Anyway, as usually, it gets a little weird at the end. If you’re squeamish, you might want to stop after Shearwater. Elvis Costello, “American Gangster Time”During the MOG strike, I had a fairly extended last.fm conversation with Cody about th... MORE

Elvis Costello - This Year's Model: Deluxe Edition Roxy S. 8 out of 10 The man. The legend. The man behind the legend. It's hard to describe Elvis Costello without sounding like an episode of MTV's "Diary." The self-professed "rock-n-roll Scrabble champion" is known for his biting lyricism and wordplay. This Year's Model was Elvis's second album, and his first backed by the organ-heavy garage-rock combo, the Attractions. In 1978, when this album was first released, C... MORE

...finally! Costello's great job guest-hosting Letterman's Late Show proved him to be funny, likeable, interesting, insightful, and intelligent enough to have his own show. I always figured the reason he didn't have one was because he didn't want one. Well, now he does!

..Let's try this one more time... MOG (or a ghost) deleted the last one... weird.)..I’m not sure how many people know about this… Elvis Costello’s first album DID NOT feature The Attractions… His band on “My Aim Is True” was the San Francisco pub rockers, Clover (of Huey Lewis fame). They all (minus Mr. Lewis) recorded “My Aim Is True” in 1976-77… They never played together again…. UNTIL TONIGHT !..Tonight, at The Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, Elvis reunites ... MORE
