I received the DVD set from Amazon on Tuesday. The first disc was loose inside the package and was badly scratched. I tried watching it, and it froze halfway through the Bill Clinton episode. Amazon sent a replacement, which arrived today. The first disc was loose inside this one too! The scratching...

Training to fly a U-2 spy plane; gaming software that exposes personal computer files; searching for perfect lips; Elvis Costello performs.

Someone with Video Service Corp. posted this at the wiki site: Elvis Costello is doing an appearance in New York City on Tuesday, November 17th, 2009 at 7pm. He'll be signing DVDs and Blu-rays at the Barnes & Noble Tribeca, 97 Warren St. New York City. You can find further information here: http...

Promoting the Spectacle DVD, I suppose.

LATE NIGHT WITH JIMMY FALLON, NBC
Fr 11/20: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Elvis Costello

http://www.interbridge.com/lineups.html

The announced release date is tomorrow, so maybe it'll be available then. Of course, that doesn't explain why some of the tracks seem to be on sale already.

SERVE4 will be available at Hard Rock locations around the world and on http://www.hardrock.com beginning November 9, 2009, with digital downloads available at iTunes and Amazon. This line made me think a CD version was available at Hard Rock locations, but the website makes it look like they're se...

Another blog account: Elvis Costello Finally Makes a Spectacle of Himself Posted on November 3, 2009 by sidetwo I’ve been a fan of the musical chameleon otherwise known as Elvis Costello for a long time. Not that everything he’s ever released has appealed to me but for the most part I’ve been happy ...

So... if I'm following the tweets correctly, Mary Louise Parker was guest hosting, and EC was the guest on his own show? I didn't quite pick up on that from the tweets, but yeah, a post on the listserv seems to confirm that. That actually makes a lot more sense if the original idea was to have Elto...

If Elvis doesn't play "Little Boxes" tonight, he never will. They're having quite the conversation about his musical roots. MLP knows her stuff. Funny listening to Elvis Costello discussing drug use with the star of Weeds. Elvis Costello just compared bad Dylan knock-off lyrics to Twitter....

Wasn't Elvis involved in song selection for Rod's 1998 album When We Were The New Boys, suggesting the Nick Lowe and Ron Sexsmith songs? I wonder if he suggested his own song too.

Paul McCartney is playing a benefit in New York on October 26.

Could he be taping Spectacle while he's in town?

The source of the Hollywood High setlist is Richard Groothuizen's book Going Through The Motions . The reason for the unidentified song titles is a design error on page 114 which has seven songs from this leg of this tour (but only two played at Hollywood High) represented by numbers without any cor...

From Twitter: Elvis Costello was awesome. A career-spanning set. One man and his guitar (okay and some looping). Still on a post-show high despite the staid venue. He went through the hits - Alison, Oliver's Army (eliding the N word), (WSF'B)PL&U... ... And some new stuff. Liked the bawdy From S...

This is out now. I've noted some differences between the Ryko CD and the new one on the Elvis Costello Reissues site:

Thanks for all the reports, but I'm confused about this... Ascension Day (with Allen Toussaint and band) Costello, Toussaint, Thompson and the Imposters then backed Lowe on “Ascension Day.” EC and AT talked more about NOLA, etc and the two of them played Ascension Day. Was "Ascension Day" ...
