Elvis Costello
I am a big fan of the later Costello stuff that I have heard. I listen to all
this useless beauty a lot, and when I'm home I listen to my Daddy's copy of
Mighty like a rose. I don't like his early punk-ish stuff as much. I borrowed
the collaberation with Burt Bacherach from the library, and mostly found the
stylistic juxtaposition strange, but it grew on me. I really like Elvis'
writing style and music. I don't know if my roommate likes it though... when I
have it playing and leave the room for an extended time, there's always another
cd in when I get back. It's okay though. She puts up with my music, and I with
hers. Everyone is happy.
Sorry if this is disconnected -- some idiot pulled the fire alarm at 3:30 am and
we had to all go stand outside for a while. It affected my sleep patterns a
lot, and I"m somewhere between cranky-tired and perky-tired still.
