Love this man so much, My Aim is True is such a good fucking record..cursing was needed, that's how much I love that album haha. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiNHe7BUqhc]YouTube - ELVIS COSTELLO "Watching the Detectives"[/ame] And no matter how many people butcher the shit out of it on Rock Band or whatever the hell it is, Pump It Up will always be an awesome jam.
Hells YES to Elvis Costello! Every Day I Write The Book, I Don't Want To Go To Chelsea, Watching the Detectives, I Want You . . . the list goes on. Hells yes, I must repeat.
Hell yeah [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fP4D-nTnWv4]YouTube - Elvis Costello - Waiting For The End Of The World[/ame] I don't even know what it is exactly about him I like so much, there is just something his style that gets me all giddy and nostalgic whenever I listen to him. I was trying to find wave a white flag but it wasn't on youtube
I went and seen bob dylan a few years ago..... and Elvis stole the show for me. I never liked his music ( always thought it was 80sish)but at this concert he played Acoustically, which changed my whole view on his music. I went and gave him another listen. Hes more a poet then anything else. I wish he would one day put out a acoustic only CD. Ive been recently enjoying his new album, which is very chill.
Very first record (7inch vinyl) was Olivers Army by Elvis Costello, but other than that I never really got into his tunes.
