Re: What are you listening to right now?
If you liked the first two albums, I am sure you'd like this one, too.
The guys have returned to the tighter, more guitar-driven sound and they seem to be having a lot fun again. The songs are sharp, damn catchy and burst with pop hooks.
Give it a try, you will not regret it.

Re: New album for 2013: "Wise Up Ghost" (with The Roots!)
I am loving the new album. Funky, moody, it’s got infectious grooves, pulsating bass lines, and plenty of little touches – horns, piano and guitar riffs, tinkles - that make the musical side of the album so much fun. And I love Elvis’ voice – restrained, but at the same time emotional : at one time ...

Re: 40 DAYS OF ELVIS COSTELLO: A Countdown To WISE UP GHOST
Reading all the opinions I feel like I am missing something but I have never quite grown to like this album.
Most of the songs just never did it for me and I found the whole vibe too rootsy-bluesy-southern Americana for my taste.
Well, maybe I should give it another listen.

Re: Wake up you footy fans!!!
I am amazed that Real Madrid let Ozil leave the club. He's a fantastic signing for Arsenal - a world-class playmaker who can play killer passes and provides plenty of assists for strikers. Not so much convinced by Moyes moves. Fellaini is not a consistent player, and I wonder how Moyes will (or alre...

Re: 40 DAYS OF ELVIS COSTELLO: A Countdown To WISE UP GHOST
Great post, Kevin.
I'm among those who like the album, though upon first listen it left me baffled and disappointed.
Plenty of good songs there. I'd probably even say that 45, Episode Of Blonde and My Little Blue Window are among the best songs Elvis has written in the last 15 years.

Good songs as, imho, they are, I doubt if he'll ever find time to record Gwendolyn Letters properly with a band.
All in all, that's what I miss from Elvis - a dozen or so deceptively simple pop songs written over a weekend or two.

Re: 40 DAYS OF ELVIS COSTELLO: A Countdown To WISE UP GHOST
Would probably be in my Top 10.
Elvis’ voice does strain at times, but I loved most of the songs from day one and thought they were just great pop songs.
I wish I had seen Elvis do the songs live.
Excellent job again, Connor!
