I am not really enjoying his music any more - in fact, I don't think I was ever overly enthused about him. I just kidded myself into thinking I would like him, that he was the sort of artist that belonged in my collection. Well, to hell with dutiful listening, I don't need him in my life. Give me beautiful over dutiful. He's not a very good singer and his songs sound too spiky, as if he sings in stabs and thrusts. He's got no mojo, no groove whatsoever.
I've got six albums, and they have all got to go:
The Very Best of Elvis Costello
Brutal Youth
Spike
Mighty Like a Rose
The Best of - The First 10 Years
There's also the Bacharach collaboration, "Painted From Memory", that may have to go as well. If I want geek rock, I'll play Buddy Holly.
Now you're talking!
