It was excellent. Rob Mathes (the musical director) is great with these sorts of big band arrangements.And No Coffee Table wrote:Interesting "big band" version! I was expecting a trio performance.

In later years, the song would also take on a notable change of lyric: In the recorded version the words are “She’s listening in to the Venus Line, she’s picking out names, I hope none of them are mine.” That meaning is clear enough: Whatever mating ritual the TV woman is doing, the singer wants no...

Interesting list. He mentioned the Nicole Atkins album in another interview which I thought was cool. Also nice to see mention of the new Gorillaz album. I could definitely see an EC feature with them.

Re: 50 Songs For 50 Days - Elvis Costello's October Surprise
Spotify is amazing. I've used the premium version for about 5 years. Worth every bit of the $9.99/month.
(actually I pay $14.99/month for 4 separate accounts - the family plan)
I still buy some physical media, just to support the artists, but almost never listen to it.
