Re: EC Live at Apple's iPhone event
Is this a real quote? Nope. The actual quote is this: The TV business is uglier than most things. It is normally perceived as some kind of cruel and shallow money trench through the heart of the journalism industry, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs,...

Re: New album for 2013: "Wise Up Ghost" (with The Roots!)
My pre-order downloaded this morning. After a few listens, Sugar Won't Work is an early favourite for me. The record to me sounds like a bit of a cross between the When I Was Cruel album and Isaac Hayes doing Walk On By.

Re: 'a definitive documentary portrait of Elvis', 2013
I can attest from experience that these kind of films can take quite a time to put together. Between coordinating the schedules of all the artists you want to interview, tracking down the various archival material, the quagmire that is rights clearances... I could see them spending another year on t...

My take has always been more in line with this from the Ethicist of a few years back: .......... does not seem in the least, "like a decidedly old fashioned stance" to me. Great post. This is basically where I fall on this issue as well. For me, it's akin to buying at ticket to a show, le...

I love National Ransom (the song) and Glass Onion is one of my favourite Beatles tunes.cwr wrote:I would disagree, however-- and I may be the only one on the board who does disagree-- with the popular notion that the title track on "National Ransom" is mediocre.

Re: Elvis Costello & Imposters play Offenbach, July 15, 2013
For his score to "Broke Back Mountain" won the 2003 Academy Award for "Best Original Score". So did Elvis just use the Gustavo Santaolalla alias for the one picture, or did he also secretly compose the scores for The Insider, 21 Grams, The Motorcycle Diaries, Babel and Biutiful ...

That's a beautiful venue. Not ornately furnished or anything, but the sound is excellent. There's a cafe in town with great coffee also.

Record Companies - Floundering. Who knows what they do other than collect money... at least the big labels. (Sorry, not in the biz, so I don't know what's going on.) Here is my general defense of record labels: Scout, sign and develop artists. Pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for recording sess...

I would be very surprised if the early Costello albums weren't big influences on the band.
