Well. As the music industry tries to deal with all sorts of upheavals, Declan MacManus makes one last gasp at exploiting the back catalogue and sets us some strategic corporate partnerships. With VISA being very active in promoting his current tour, he is also now selling cars -- not used, but the very smart Lexus, who must be trying to pitch to a boomer market who would probably prefer to be seen in a Mini.

Happy/sad. I am very excited that the first ten years of Elvis Costello's career have been reissued by Hip-o records. Having bought this material on vinyl in several colors, as 45s, albums and cassettes, along with numerous permutations of sleeve design and packaging, on at least different five different labels (Stiff, Columbia, F-Beat, Radar, Rhino, etc.), I realise I have more than a dozen copies of some of these records. That's the really sad part. The Rhino doubles are still the best and most comprehensive and I presume they are now out of print. Here is a link to a Variety story about the Elvis comeback!
Here are some links to Charlie Rose interviews with Elvis.
