The good news is that the new Elvis Costello album is finally out. Armed Forces is another virtuoso, with great songs such as "Green Shirt," "Accidents Will Happen," "Goon Squad," and "Little Hitlers."
Also, in the first 200,000 copies of the lp, inserted was a 45-record sized pressing featuring "Alison," recorded live at Hollywood High School in Los Angeles. The album is being critically acclaimed in the mold of his first two albums, My Aim is True, and This Year's Model.
There is other Costello news. The gweep-Ilke singer was recently in Australia, where he had a six-hour recording session, for the upcoming theatrical film, Americathon, in which he will also appear. The comedy film will also star funnymen Carl Reiner and John Ritter.
