Buí

EC was here
My rudimentary knowledge of Elvis Costello has always lead me to believe that whenever he picks up a guitar, sparks will fly. That was certainly the case in 1977, the year he unleashed his debut album My Aim is True: a tour de force, for sure, and a platter I remember featuring  during our Vinyl Sessions at the Carousel.

Likewise in February 1989 during the  course of a mere three songs (all from 'Spike') he sets out his intent from the get go and delivers a quite staggering session for Dutch radio.

  1. Is this just an excuse for more yellow photos?

    1. Ernie, Ernie, Ernie. What kind of blogger do you take me for? And anyway, I don't come here to be insulted; I've got plenty more places where I can go for that, thank you very much.

    2. It wasn't a complaint. I like yellow photos.

    3. Me too. I think yellow is the new, er, improved yellow.

  2. I'm loving the yellow photos and have just been introduced to EC songs I hitherto wasn't aware of.

    1. Thank you, Alyson. Also, I'm loving the way you dropped hitherto in there; almost as much as I love yellow.
