The Turn by Alison Moyet
1 recommendation
"Alison Moyet can make the darkest hours heartbreak feel as glamourous as living in a Rolls Royce Silver Cloud. On The Turn Moyet emotes from a place that only a few (Dusty Springfield, Jacques Brel, David Bowie, Elvis Costello, Annie Lennox) can inhabit in song. Truly the kind of recoding to listen to alone with only Moyet's voice and burning ember of hope as company."
There Is An Ocean That Divides And With My Longing I Can Charge It With A Voltage Thats So Violent To Cross It Could Mean Death
1 recommendation
"The cover for "There Is An Ocean That Divides And With My Longing I Can Charge It With A Voltage Thats So Violent To Cross It Could Mean Death" by Scott Matthew features an fantastically quixotic image by Mario Lombardo. Both music and packaging are beautifully connected imbuing a personal voice that will out last the style of the times in which the album was produced in."
A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All
1 recommendation
"It was hilarious! Best Christmas special ever! Starring Elvis Costello, Willie Nelson, Jon Stewart, Toby Keith, Feist, John Legend and, of course, Stephen Colbert. The songs were great and the kitsch was strong."
ELVIS COSTELLO: I Want You (MP3 Download)
1 recommendation
"Have you ever loved someone, no wait, craved someone so badly, the only problem was they didn't know it? O.k., maybe they knew it but they didn't really care. If only you could have made them see how dedicated you were. You know, with the standing outside their window in the rain. The relentless calling and hanging up. This song embodies all those desperate, loving, creepy, naughty, crushing feel..."
ELVIS COSTELLO: When I Was Cruel No.2 (MP3 Download)

"The title track from the album of the same name. This song oozes cold indifference. Great song."
Underwater Moonlight . . . And How It Got There: The Soft Boys
1 recommendation
"Hey boys, how many times has a a woman flirted with you and then gave you her digits, then when you call her, text her, email her, or send her a letter she acts as if you are scum, snubbing you and then making plans to meet you but always canceling at the last minute--her excuses always disrespectful and humiliating "...sorry I couldn't meet you like we planed, I had to got to a party"--Doesn't fl..."
iTunes Store: Elvis Costello - The Best of Elvis Costello
1 recommendation
"Not your typical rock star, Elvis Costello looks like a geeky version of Buddy Holly or teen idol from the 50's unexpectedly plopped into the middle of the punk rock era. But I actually have grown to love both his voice and his style, the beginnings of which are well represented on this album."
The Harry Smith Project: The Anthology Of American Folk Music Revisited (2 CD/2 DVD BOX SET)
1 recommendation
"So many artists were influenced by the original Harry Smith Anthology of American Folk music. Countless artists mined the back catalogue of traditional music. Now, today's artists pay homage to the seminal work. With artists such as Elvis Costello, Beth Orton, WIlco, Nick Cave, Lou Reed and Van Dyke Parks weighing in."
Elvis Costello & The Imposters - Momofuku
1 recommendation
"Whoo! New Elvis Costello. He's probably one of my favorite live performers, and I'm psyched he's got some new music. Just came out on CD and iTunes today. Should be good!"
Now Ain't the Time for Your Tears ~ Wendy James
1 recommendation
"A unique collaboration between Wendy James (formerly of Transvision Vamp) and Elvis Costello, Although James's voice is a bit Jane Mansfield, I was always delighted by the pairing of her performance, and the pointed lyrics--oh and five of the ten tracks were co-written by Cait O'Riordan, the then-Mrs Costello. I'm happy to see this one is still available out there."
Our Love to Admire - Interpol
1 recommendation
"I underestimated this band for years, the dreary vocal delivery and throw-a-way lyrics over overtly urgent guitar didn't help. "Our Love to Admire" isn't really anything very different from previous Interpol antics, but now I'm comfortable with their brand of storytelling--choosing to break with blues formulas for something more like journal writing with a soundtrack--it's radio theatre for the po..."
Elvis Costello - King Of America
3 recommendations
"I can, will and have listened to this record so many times. Brilliant Mistake is a perfect pop song. America Without Tears, amazing. Indoor Fireworks -- chills"
Elvis Costello Tee
1 recommendation
"Elvis Costello, Iconic by most definitions of the word. But disregard that and just think about how cool this shirt looks. The orange print on a banana yellow shirt is just about perfect."
RETRO 50s - Retro1TTG

"Gee-wiz! Women love em, and they're great in case of a flying-saucer attack."
