Elvis Costello’s new album Secret, Profane & Sugarcane (Hear Music) has debuted this week at #13 on the Billboard 200, the musician’s highest album chart position since 1980’s Get Happy. The single “Complicated Shadows” is also top 15 on the Triple A chart and #2 on the non-commercial chart.

This great news comes in the midst of a high profile two week run. Last week Costello performed a secret show at a Manhattan pub and last night he started a tour with The Sugarcanes (players from the album), with a sold-out show at New York’s Beacon Theater.

He’s been profiled in Rolling Stone and the Wall St. Journal, and performed and been interviewed on the Today Show and The Late Show w/ David Letterman. Stay tuned for imminent slots on Nightline, NPR’s Weekend Edition Saturday and Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien (June 23) plus Austin City Limits in the fall.

You know , during the Wolf Trap show, when he was talking about the touring life during the intro to Red Cotton, he mentioned that backstage it's "Babylon" and then he started laughing while looking at some guys in the front row who had come in late, and he said "Babylon NPR"...it made no sense at the time, but I wonder if he was looking at NPR guys who had been talking to him or interviewing him backstage...

Apparently the Billy Mays guy who was on this show was found dead today. Weird.

The curse of Costello continues - RIP Billy Mays

Yes, you heard me correctly. Lisa Kudrow, please get a checkup. And
Conan, watch out for falling spotlights...

I guess Billy's pitching of affordable health care didn't much matter
in his case.
