A review of the Diana Krall concert in Baden Baden (Germany) reveals that the Costello-Krall family took a holiday in the "Schwarzwald".
(...)
Ansonsten gab es an dem Konzert nichts zu mäkeln - außer vielleicht, dass es nicht mehr zu einem kleinen Duett zwischen ihr und ihrem Mann Elvis Costello kam. Die Familie hatte im Schwarzwald einen Kurzurlaub gemacht und genoss Land und Essen sehr. Einen Song des Gatten gab es immerhin: "Almost Blue".
Google translation:
Otherwise there was nothing to complain about at the concert - except perhaps that it never came to a little duet between her and her husband Elvis Costello. The family had taken a short vacation in the Black Forest and enjoyed country and eating a lot. A song of her husband, did in fact: "Almost Blue".

I could avoid noticing on the news that a royal baby and future king has been born. St Mary's, Paddington - Isn't that our king Elvis was born? I doubt it was in the £5000 per night room though.
Re: Relatively Insignificant EC Stuff. . .
Indeed , and the child being born on the same day as the first track from the new album appearing. I was trying to think on the day of a succinct way to say that in a Tweet but decided that I really didn't care that much!a royal baby and future king has been born.

Newish to youTube - 81 minutes of Elvis Costello Live / Videos / Commercials / Interviews / Specials
Hodge podge of Elvis Costello footage, Some promo video's, live footage, an interview here or there, all of dubious quality since these were found on an old VHS tape in a record store I worked at in the 90's.

Re: Relatively Insignificant EC Stuff. . .
This appears to be an Italian Maine Coon pedigree cat called Elvis Costello del Faro:
elvis_costello_del_faro_maschio_intero
Born 18 September 2008
Colour: Solid black
Pedigree
Lui il nostro piccolino di casa…
figlio di Jacy e Sambuca nato con cesareo la mamma non lo ha allattato e quindi
mi sono presa la responsabilità di fare da vice mamma.
Viziato birbantello e distruttore ma simpatico e molto molto intelligente.
Lui non si sente gatto ma molto bambino.
Ama incondizionatamente il suo “babbone” umano a tal punto da farsi fare qualsiasi cosa…
solo da lui…
gli estranei sono un po’ di peso per lui…
Insert your own punchline about pads, paws and claws here..........................

What a fantastic name for a cat! Mine is called Ruby Tuesday - I'm sure I missed a trick there.

A memory piece on the anniversary of the other Elvis's passing. Need to note that the writer gets his EC performance date mixed up in the fog of time:

"....there's a merry song that starts in 'I' and ends in 'You', as many famous pop songs do....'
Re: Relatively Insignificant EC Stuff. . .
A neat presentation of these two versions. Besides the change in lyric , it's interesting to get such an immediate comparison between the Clover and Attractions styles of play.

Re: Relatively Insignificant EC Stuff. . .
This site, which is for fans of Roddy Frame and Aztec Camera, includes a page of audio interviews with Roddy from over the years:
Killermontstreet.net
About 2/3 way down the page you'll find a clip labelled Re:Elvis Costello 1987 subtitled "Roddy talks about early praise from and tour with Elvis Costello ", in which Roddy talks briefly about being asked to tour the USA with Elvis.
This was on the 1983 tour when Aztec Camera supported EC and the Attractions.
You will need Realplayer or similar to play the audio clip.

Re: Relatively Insignificant EC Stuff. . .
I have just heard the new album from The Strypes - a very young band from Cavan, Ireland. You will like it if you like Dr Feelgood, Nine Below Zero etc. The reason for this post is that the album contains a version of Nick Lowe's Heart of the City, which will be familiar to most on hear, particularly as EC has performed in recent years as part of the Spinning Songbook opening salvol!

I could be wrong but did Elvis and The Strypes both play Heart Of The City at Glasto on the same day this year? They were very good at Glastonbury

Re: Relatively Insignificant EC Stuff. . .
An interview with Paul McCartney in the November issue of Mojo includes this:
So what were your intentions with New, or weren't there any?
I wanted to try lots of things, see what would come out of working with different people. But I never liked the idea that you made a record and it doesn't sit with modern records. With The Beatles you were always trying to sit with The Supremes, Phil Spector, the Isleys. But I needed to resist sounding like I was trying too hard to be contemporary. You know the Ibiza thing, if you're in a club and dancing, that thud-thud stuff works. But I've got to resist that as I'll have people like Elvis Costello calling me up going, "Fucking hell Paul, what are you doing?!" But in the '60s we were listening to Motown, which was modern, we were listening to James Brown, Stevie Wonder. And I don't want to be shy of using some modern devices because we weren't into all that in The Beatles — the moment the mellotron came out we just embraced it. "Yeah! We'll have a go at that." We were always trying to create different sounds which now are like traditional sounds. Tomorrow Never Knows, the drum sound, still works great.
