"Secret Jewish history"?

https://forward.com/culture/458183/the-secret-jewish-history-of-elvis-costello/ doesn't seem to contain many "secrets" and "yikes" silliness like this. Isn't Seth Rogovoy reputable? "As a vocalist, McManus was very adept at singing phonetically, which meant his repertoire co...

Re: The Complete Armed Forces (Super Deluxe Edition)

For me, it may be that 'the times' make it hard for me to take any more "aggressive provocation." And, I think, those comics are not aggressively provocative. They are very limp and make the aggressive provocations of Armed Forces seem, well, limper. I dare say that I wish he or his design...

i am really tempted to cancel my clockface cd order, having already cancelled the vinyl order. this bustle of cd/lp/video not available crap is not my idea of a good time. figure it out, phone me when you're done. don't text. i don't have a cell phone. this used to be enjoyable when I could go to a ...

I think that this is one of his best vocals ever, and a melody to match. And the background vocals near the end -- the melodies they are singing, and the sound...beautiful.
