Elvis wrote a comic radio play

“I wrote a comic radio play, an audio pamphlet on how to approach music in a fashion that takes the fear away.”

Elvis Costello: confessioni di un ex punk per caso
di Giuseppe Videtti

Dalla sua casa di Vancouver, via Zoom, il musicista ci parla del suo nuovo album. E di come un cancro (superato), l'età e questa pandemia lo hanno cambiato

Durante il lockdown non ha smaniato sui social in cerca di visibilità, versando emoticoni di lacrime per un disco o una serie di concerti rimandati. "È stata l'occasione per trascorrere del tempo in famiglia" esordisce. "Normalmente i gemelli vengono con noi d'estate durante i concerti, ma quando vanno a scuola non ci vediamo molto.

This year has been different, we have been together practically since March. Creatively, I started making this record months before the lockdown. . When I returned to Vancouver in March, the work was almost done. Since then I have composed and recorded many songs at home, I have even written a radio drama. Of course, then there are the painful notes, I make ends meet with the live activity, the same goes for my wife ... ".
