It's a Gil Scott-Heron reference and a reversal of EC's previous stance in "Invasion Hit Parade" that the revolution will be televised.

Does Isabelle Adjani know she was namechecked in "Fill in the Blanks"?

RIP Gerry Marsden. I have a live recording of EC singing Ferry Cross the Mersey / Tiny Steps. I am sure Top Balcony or Sulky can tell me which show it was!! EC tweets : "I was saddened by Gerry Marsden’s passing. His voice will always lead the way at Anfield, in times of celebration or lament....

The Tom Waits cover was "Time." There was also a video of EC singing "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?" earlier in the show.

All i heard was awful distortion....noise fest!! There's one relatively lengthy passage I think I can make out: "...but to my dismay I can't go on after what you've done There are two words that sound just like pray But I'm not going to tell you which one..." It turns out this song is &qu...

EC's tweets about this song have been cryptic, but "Gentleman, I salute you #petethomas #stevenieve #daveyfaragher #sebastiankrys #theimposters" seems like confirmation that it is an Imposters recording produced (or co-produced) by Sebastian Krys. Another tweet refers to "The Shape Of...

He repeats lines from earlier in the song: I know perfectly well I'm not where I should be I've been very aware you've been patient with me Every time we break up you bring back your love to me I try hard to be more like you want me to be I can't help how I act when you're not here with me I try har...

I wish I could understand it!

Interesting "big band" version! I was expecting a trio performance.

So we have a French version of "No Flag," and we know a remix of "Hetty O'Hara Confidential" by Tshegue (a Paris-based group that performs in French, English, and Lingala) is on the way . Will there be a French version of Hey Clockface to accompany the Spanish version of This Yea...

He also shared a recording he made of Hetty O'Hara Confidential - an "outtake" from Le Studio Saint Germain sessions. It was a vocal recorded on an aircraft in flight, and played back on a portable speaker, so the quality was not great. It may reappear on a box set, 40 years hence, if not...

Aimee Mann on the Music That Made Her Elvis Costello & the Attractions: “Girls Talk” I had taken a trip to London with my boyfriend when I was in ’Til Tuesday, and “Voices Carry” was on the radio when we passed Elvis Costello and his wife on the street. My boyfriend said, “We just passed Elvis,...

Volume 11 is now available from the various streaming and download services, and the tracks can be purchased individually. In the interest of clearing up any confusion I created, EC is featured on four songs, all recorded November 9, 1996 at London's Royal Festival Hall: "Shipbuilding," &q...

I assume there is a longer article in the print edition, but this seems to be all that is on Rolling Stone's website at the moment: Iggy Pop and Elvis Costello share a sense of lost time. “I had a tour booked this year,” Iggy tells Elvis. “Then, ‘Bam!’ It’s part of the summer gone. ‘Bam!’ There goes...

Apple Music says "Busy Bodies (Alternate Version)" has a track length of 2:59, while it was about 3:45 on the Rhino Armed Forces . Is it a different alternate version or just an error on Apple Music? It turns out the track labeled "Busy Bodies (Alternate Version)" is actually &q...

Is my wishful thinking getting out of hand, or has EC dropped several hints that he and the Imposters have been recording remotely? From Variety : "Although he skipped over recording with his band the Imposters on 'Hey Clockface,' he emphasizes his love for that unit as 'a functioning group in ...
