Yep, I'm reviewing it--I just turned in the final version of the review last night. You'll be able to find it Wednesday afternoon at http://www.nuvo.net --and, with luck, I'll be writing for them part-time. I sat by the associate editor of the paper at the concert, and he was very impressed with my ...

Oct. 15 Show Set List
This was an amazing show (and not just because he signed my ticket and wished me an early happy birthday). EC did a solo show--just him, three or four guitars he swtiched whenever the mood struck him, and a table with water, tea and throat spray. Having just him and the guitar breathed new life into...

And, for the record, those typos aren't mine.

Well, it's done. I've been fighting a nasty bout with the flu all weekend, and my head has been NyQuil cloudy...so the article isn't nearly as good as I'd like it to be, but I think it's serviceable. I talked about how his earlier albums were fairly consistant stylewise, and how with each decade, he...

How's about this for a beginning: Elvis Costello has spent the past quarter of a century playing dress-up with music. He introduced nerd-punk to the world with his 1977 debut My Aim is True, and since then he’s donned nearly every musical hat he could find: folk with the Chieftans, pop with Paul McC...

Help a Fangirl's Dream Come True
So, I have a friend who works for an independent newsweekly here in Indy. He has given me a task. Because he doesn't really want to have to do it, he has charged me with writing a 700-word piece on Elvis Costello, to be delivered by Monday morning at 9am. My wage: two fourth row tickets to the Octob...

I met him when I was in the second grade, at a Young Author's Conference--he signed a copy of a children's book he'd written. I remember being awed by the big, booming voice and the seriousness in his face, and I remember knowing that he was a very important man, without really knowing why. When I g...

My family loves my rainbow couscous salad--it could serve as either a side or a main dish. Grill and chop some chicken, make some couscous, chop up some red, yellow and orange tomatoes, red onions, scallions, add a little chopped garlic, cracked black pepper and thyme, toss in olive oil and shove it...

Costello Does Indy Again--Oct. 15
Costello always manages to play Indianapolis a week before my birthday--which means that I can always count on EC tickets as a present! He's played the Murat Theatre the last two times he was here, but this time, he's playing the lovely Clowes Memorial Hall at Butler University. The ticket prices ar...

The sentiment behind the song is wonderful, and I like the song, but Christina Aguilera annoyed the fresh hell out of me. I was amazed when I heard EC at the end of House--I mean, there isn't an EC song that I haven't heard, and I didn't recognize that one at all. Then, the chorus....and I was floor...

Marloom: old, plastic-covered furniture that has faded in the sun from years of sitting by a window. Usually gifted to younger family members by a grandmother or elderly aunt, this furniture is most likely to be covered in fabric that has a paisley, tartan or scary striped pattern.
