there must be a few fans among you

been listening to When I Was Cruel, like I mean really listened to it for the first time...............given a selection of music over xmas and this was one recommended as a friends personal favourite. A few years ago I wasnt all that into Armed Forces but got Imperial Bedroom so after a quick flick through the songs its layed on a shelf until this week.............what an album.

he has so many albums that as with N Young& T Waits its hard to know where to go next. I have also got his 2004 monkeyman (?) album but that seems to be on a different verve. although I havent given that a full listen to yet so

    Armed Forces got me into Elvis Costello. Every song on there is great but my favorite is OLIVER'S ARMY.

    I have a lot of his more recent stuff. He has really tried to develop his singing, but he doesn't have the instrument to quite pull it off I think.

    Do you have This Year's Model?

    Elvis costello was cool as a stand-in for david letterman when he was sick. Elvis did a great job!

    same here.

    I am going to suggest Blood & Chocolate. Why?

    I Want You. No other song sends chills down my spine for 6:44.

    My Aim Is True, Punch The Clock

    Fucking classics, I love the guy even if I haven't totally forgiven him for abandoning the minimalist urgency of his first few releases.
    "Stunned by my own reflection, It's looking back, sees me too clearly and I swore I'd never go there again, Not unlike a friend that politely drags you down,down,down"

    When you see me on the street, yell out "FAVO!!!"

    I've been to alot of Pearl Jam shows;So fucking what.

    "This Year's Model" is the best Costello album.
    one foot in the door
    the other foot in the gutter
    sweet smell that they adore
    I think I'd rather smother
