If EC plans to attend the Grammys, it's hard to imagine him missing this event two days earlier. What do I win? http://twitter.com/Lefsetz Elvis Costello is gonna do Losing End from Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere. Elvis is playing solo acoustic. He's making the song his own. He seems to know the w...

I guess the Hip-O folks liked the look of the US label.



Sorry for the poor quality of the picture. The CD is pretty spectacular.

It's a joke. It even says "music news that's fit to fake" at the top of the page.

If EC plans to attend the Grammys, it's hard to imagine him missing this event two days earlier. He knows half the people on the bill.

Hollywood High press release . Nothing new, really, but it does say The Costello Show series features "complete concerts," which would be a dumb thing to say if they were planning to trim longer shows to single discs. And yeah, I know they didn't include the Nick Lowe tracks on El Mocambo ...

Anyone else notice in the Billboard article that Nick Lowe is credited as producing this concert? I just checked my original UK EP, and the Rhino ARMED FORCES, and neither include the credit. If accurate, it could account for the unusually great sound quality that was achieved on the tracks that ha...

Last year the show was a co-production between Sundance Channel, CTV, Channel 4, and FremantleMedia. This season only Sundance Channel and CTV appear in the credits. The budget restrictions EC has mentioned may be related to this change.

"You blew our minds," Bono recalls of his first exposure to Costello and the Attractions in an Irish nightclub. "And everybody who was there formed a band." It would seem, therefore, that Bono and co. were at Elvis' first show in Ireland , at the Stella , Dublin in March 1978. T...

Amazon has the cover art, which, not surprisingly, is the same as the original EP: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61Ut3wUyP%2BL._SS500_.jpg Am I forgetting something, or is this only the second time (after Goodbye Cruel World ) that the Attractions have appeared on the front cover of an album...

Yes, it was from the February 28, 1978 concert in Washington, DC, released in its entirety on disc 2 of the deluxe This Year's Model in 2008.

CD Universe has a track listing: 1. Accidents Will Happen 2. Mystery Dance 3. Lip Service 4. Living In Paradise 5. Goon Squad 6. (The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes 7. Party Girl 8.

Yeah, I think they just rewrote this : The 2009 program featured Elvis Costello on Wednesday night, thanks to the support of Industry Canada’s Marquee Tourism Events Program, an initiative under Canada’s Economic Action Plan.

He recorded "Condemned Man" in August, apparently for this movie.

It was discussed here:

I listened to the Believers Never Die version online, and sure enough it's got someone else singing EC's lines.

That last verse (starting at 2:08) seems to be mostly gibberish.

EC's appearance at this Michael J. Fox Foundation benefit was already noted in the thread for "Relatively Insignificant EC Stuff. . ." Here's the video evidence of EC with the Gregg Allman Band, John Popper, Michael J. Fox, and Steven Tyler. "One Way Out": KEQj_Sn1Cm0 "State...

The absence of "You Win Again" is interesting, since it was mentioned in the initial press release. I wonder if Haden or Metheny didn't want it on there.

What a bummer!! Blu-Ray or DVD, ANCT? I'm ordering the blu-ray as a Christmas gift (to myself) and hope I don't run into the same issues. DVD. (I don't have a Blu-ray player.) The Blu-ray packaging must be at least a little different from the DVD, since it has fewer discs. Deep Discount currently h...

John Popper of Blues Traveler posted several pictures of himself posing with celebrities at the Parkinson's benefit on Twitter, but only the one with Elvis was labeled "my hero."

There's a comment on Twitter which suggests that EC re-recorded his part for this song's appearance on the recent Fall Out Boy best-of, Believers Never Die . http://twitter.com/joshua_phillips/status/5949246881 And there's another post which says EC doesn't appear on the Believers Never Die version,...

Some shows do that (Letterman especially), but in this case EC mentioned his voice trouble in the Colbert appearance during the Fallon interview.

Yes... He said, "It's actually going to be two epis..." before he was interrupted.

The other Spectacle news from the Jimmy Fallon appearance was that "Alison" didn't make the final cut for the Bono/Edge episode. Elvis speculated that it could be on the next DVD.

My favorite is the one about Elvis being great friends with Sean Penn, apparently a reference to this:
