Referring to a 2005 Glastonbury Festival set that he termed "fucking dreadful," Costello told Mojo Magazine that he's done with the motherland. "I... read more

Bright-eyed children in footie pajamas making Christmas lists in August will have to be very, very specific when asking for Elvis Costello & The Attractions’ 30th anniversary release of My Aim is True, subtitled Deluxe Edition (available September 11 on Hip-O). The little boy or girl eagerly imagining Santa’s elves crafting the record with their very small hammers must take his or her crayon, draw a parentheses (with dad’s help!), and write “ft. legendary 1977 Nashvile Rooms concert plus soundcheck!!!” Otherwise, mom- er, I mean Saint Nick might become confused when ordering online, since Rhino released a completely different My... read more
