So Elvis, we won’t discuss those last couple records, except to say, please please please let the new record be a hair less BLUESY. Bring the rock, sir. The internets are oddly devoid of info on the new album, just 20 days away from release. No artwork, even. Hmmm.

Sellout Music officially declares April 22-26 ELVIS COSTELLO WEEK. Don’t bother calling the studio. We’ll be in Memphis, we’ll be in Shreveport. Hell, we may even be in New Orleans and Nashville. In fact, we might even bring along the laptop too see if we can’t add another Boondogs credit to this.

Indy received a handwritten note from Linda Thompson about a year ago. Needless to say it made quite an impression. I’ll let her tell you about it sometime.

In the meantime, check this out:
