Re: Relatively Insignificant EC Stuff. . .
Maybe it's not quite as cool as a Gap commercial, but Elvis is now officially on the Pac Sun store playlist. I'm sure he's thrilled beyond belief.
Like me, the "g" is silent.

But the best McCabe’s concert ever booked may have been Covey’s June 1984 going-away party.
“All these people showed up: Jackson Browne, Warren Zevon. And then Elvis Costello came,” Covey says. “This is a 150-seat theatre. When Elvis walked onstage, the audience was enthralled.”

Brilliant! I love SLeeveface. The Word has had some good examples of it. I hadn't checked the site, but much of it is LOL funny. The November sleeves, for example, contain some gems: check out Vera Lynn, the two uses of Stewpot's Pop Party and Uriah Heep's 'Very 'Eavy', which remarkable sleeve was part of my collection when I was a 13 year old Heep fanatic.
The YouTube 'how to sleeveface' is also great, check out Low:

Not sure is this has been reported elsewhere but Watch Your Step was used on The Simpsons episode shown in the UK last Sunday (the one where the story of the Prince and the Pauper is parodied).
Who’s this kid with his mumbo jumbo?

Re: Relatively Insignificant EC Stuff. . .
- The Origins of the Song : Jacksons, Monk & Rowe (from The Juliet Letters), are explored by BBC Tees, including an audio clip of an interview with Jacqueline Thomas of the Brodsky Quartet.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/tees/content/artic ... ture.shtml
She says:
"The song was actually co-written by Elvis Costello and the Brodsky Quartet."
"We collaborated on an album called the Juliet Letters in 1992 and every song on that album was written by all five of us pretty much.
"My dad had an office in Queen's Square, which was Linthorpe Insurance Brokers... and they were next door to Jacksons Monk & Rowe and one day when I was about five my dad came home, and because I'm Jackie, he just nicknamed me 'Jacksons Monk & Rowe' and that sort of stuck!
"Then much later when we started writing this album together my brother Michael, who was in the quartet then, wrote the song.
"He actually wrote the essence of the song to which we all added little bits and it was all about me and my childhood growing up."
Curiously no mention of the other Thomas with EC connections and Teesside roots.

Love the Paws version, though it's a shameit's on a lop as I want to know what happens after the cat goes for the pup's jugular, it really looks like it's in for the kill. Either that or it's a vampire cat.

Comic fans discussing Watchmen-
(extract)
ATOM!: Say! I don't remember that Elvis Costello quote being there!
CARR: You're talking about the final panel in the collected edition? The chapter titles are part of quotations or song lyrics or lines from poems, but the comics did not reprint all the source quotes. The first issue that actually has the quote in the last panel of the issue is chapter IV, "Watchmaker." It's a quote from Albert Einstein and therefore public domain. But the first two titles are from modern songs: "At Midnight, All the Agents" is from the 1960s Bob Dylan song, "Desolation Row," and "Absent Friends" is derived from an Elvis Costello song called "The Comedians." Appropriate since this issue is basically built around the Comedian's funeral and flashback to his life.
My recollection is that it was a legal rights concern that kept the lyrics from being published but eventual permissions were received by the time the issues were collected into trade paperback. "At Midnight All the Agents..." sounded like a reference to something, but even though I was a big Elvis Costello fan, I didn't connect the phrase "Absent Friends" to the song. "The Comedians" was from a lesser Costello album, "Goodbye Cruel World" which was sandwiched between "Imperial Bedroom," which was considered a masterpiece and "Punch the Clock," which contained his first top 40 hit, "Everyday I Write The Book."
ATOM!: Lesser Costello album? Them’s is fightin’ words.
CARR: I have been a Costello fan since "My Aim is True," but let's be honest, "Goodbye Cruel World" is not Mr. McManus's shining moment. I think even he said it was over-produced. "The Comedians" also had some popularity as a Roy Orbison cover during his 1980s comeback. Curiously, the Grateful Dead apparently covered “Desolation Row” regularly. And the Grateful dead is one of the bands that Gibbons has cited as having a symmetrical album cover that he uses in one of the later issues.

At the perfect moment, I came around a corner on 751 and saw a decrepit old church with the most remarkable light reflecting off its barely functional windows. Parker Palmer was talking on Speaking of Faith about courage and fear and brokenness and they played a clip of Elvis Costello song about cracks letting light in, and though the day felt heavy, the beauty around me felt like a kind of unexpected and unmerited hopefulness.
However , this seems to be whats mistakenly attributed -

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering

..some lyrics of Elvis Costello, matched with collages ..
He's coming home now and here's the surprise,
You wouldn't believe the lies that he tries,
She cuts him down to his favorite size,
She pads, paws, pads, paws and claws.
Song: Pad, Paws and Claws
Collage artist: TheShrinkee
Georgie grew to hate her name, it sounded like a tiny man,
The one she had told I can't see you, but I'll call you whenever I can.
Song: Georgie and Her Rival
Collage artist: Undersquid
He's trapped in his own parallel dimension,
That's why I'm so forgiving,
But how can I possibly forget to mention those fifty foot women
Who put the fascination back into my science fiction twin?
Song: My Science Fiction Twin
Collage artist: Trinket999
I thought I would go to the sea and shrink down very tiny,
And slide into the telephone wire that runs under the briny.
Song: Crawling to the U.S.A.
Collage artist: Undersquid
