Lately I've been on a Elvis Costello listening binge.

Is anyone else a fan? What's your favourite album/song/etc??

My favourite song would have to be Everyday I Write The Book.

My fave Elvis song will always be Veronica. Great tune, great video.

I saw him at the Edmonton Folk Fest over a decade ago.

And now he's married a wonderful Canadian and given her twins so I know he has good taste.

Mr. McManus is scheduled to do a show here soon, performing with the Nashville Symphony...he's all over the road these days, crossing genres as quickly as some change hairstyles, clearly unafraid to challenge his fans.

His early stuff, my favorites would be Accidents Will Happen, & of course (What's So Funny 'bout) Peace Love & Understanding (written for him by Nick Lowe)...somewhat later, he did a greatly underappreciated album called "Spike" which contained Veronica, but I can still enjoy nearly every track on that collection...

I once explained to friend who doesn't "get" EC that his music is great if you enjoy sharing how pissed-off he is about nearly everything

I'm on my second viewing and I'm afraid to listen to Alison because it'll be stuck in my head for 12574 years. I worked with an Alison at my last job. She was in her early 20s and had never heard that song!

I remember a video of Elvis Costello singing "What's so funny about peace love an understanding?" I understood the message of the song, but the warbly delivery and him moving awkwardly through trees...well, my funny bone was tickled beyond endurance.
