New material
New material
I'm starting to get a bit worried about Costello output now that he's got kids. Happy for him an' all that - but what about us?!
What've we got on the horizon? The Toussaint DVD coming out over here soon. Yet another reissue series (any more news on these?)
Apart from that, the only other thing I can think of is the opera in Sweden (or is it Holland) about Hans Christian Anderson.
Gulp. I need new song fix from Elvis! He's been spoiling us with an album a year recently - it's unlikely he'll do one this year, though, innit?
That photo with Scorsese - anyone know if he's writing a soundtrack for the great man?

In the last five years, Elvis has delivered When I Was Cruel and Cruel Smile, North, The Delivery Man and Il Sogno, My Flame Burns Blue and The River in Reverse. I think he's entitled to a year off at this point.
This morning you've got time for a hot, home-cooked breakfast! Delicious and piping hot in only 3 microwave minutes.

It seems that EC's busiest with new material when there's a reissue program underway. Think back to 1993-1996, and then the Rhino era. So maybe it's time for the three-disc deluxe editions of everything since PFM.
But then again I'm spoiled. I joined the party in 1985, so I got two new albums within 12 months.

In 2007 Elvis is 30 years in the business, since My Aim Is True was first released in 1977. I'm hoping for some kind of celebration of that fact this year. I'm thinking about a career-spanning "best of" album (with hopefully some new tracks) or a career-spanning box set (with hopefully lots of previously unreleased material).
Since you put me down, it seems i've been very gloomy. You may laugh but pretty girls look right through me.

i'd suggest that when EC isn't spoon-feeding Dexter or burping Frank he'll be giving himself writer's cramp fulfilling his obligation to Simon & Schuster. Can't wait...
"How to Play the Guitar, Sing Loudly & Impress Girls...or Boys". Hmmm, how prophetic!!. What's the bet that back in 2005 Elvis had already foreseen a bit of time around the house

Wouldn't that be great (except that it would cost me a fortune!). But it would have to bestormwarning wrote:Maybe five nights at the Irving Plaza each with a different theme
1. The Attractions Years
2. The Solo / Imposters Years
3. The Country, Classical & Opera Years
4. The B sides, duets and guest tracks
5. Elvis & Steve
1 The Attractions Years
2 The Solo Years
3 The Country Years
4 The Confederates and Rude 5 Years
5 The Classical and Opera Years
6 The B Sides, Duets and Guest Tracks Years
7 The Bacharach and Allen Toussaint Years
8 Elvis and Steve Play Songs Not Covered By The First 7 Nights
The fifth night would be my night off.
Who’s this kid with his mumbo jumbo?

Re: New material
He wrote a lot of great songs after the birth of his first kid, Matthew, in 1975. Let's hope for a repeat performanceNeil. wrote:I'm starting to get a bit worried about Costello output now that he's got kids. Happy for him an' all that - but what about us?!
