Elvis is alive!
For so many years of my life, the answer to the question of “Who is your favorite musician?” was emphatically: “Elvis Costello!” That hasn’t been true for a while now, as Costello has definitely faded to the background of my musical life over the last 20 years, in favor of me doing my best to always seek out new sounds and flavors—a practice that was born when Costello opened up a musical world beyond The Eagles and KISS. But, of course, when I spread the old albums around the little portable record player for a listening party this week, that old energy came spitting out of the tiny speaker. And just looking at the vinyl all laid out has me very excited for this Tuesday, Sept. 25, at Laxson Auditorium, where I will get to see my first musical hero live in Chico!
