If that's the choice, my answer would be "or what."

Just kidding! Your brother got quite the bargain. There's also a version of this disc on vinyl.

Hey Kimmy....hello, good evening and welcome to the internet's largest and most renonwned forum, first established by Costello himself as a small boy, dreaming that one day someone might make their very own thread...

Hi guys - it's weird: all I get when I click on these links are... "THERE WERE NO MATCHES FOR" "Sorry, there are no longer any products available by Elvis Costello. " It makes me think Elvis has had another one of his falling-outs, and we won't get any more reissues! Gulp! Can't...

There is Elvis content there: try this link and then stick "costello" in the search box:

It works for me. I think their search engine may just be flawed.

and now for something nearly the same

Don't forget Little Village by Little Village, which is Hiatt with the same band as on Bring the Family , namely Nick Lowe, Ry Cooder and Jim Keltner. Hiatt does most but not all of the lead vocals, and the four share songwriting credits, so it isn't technically a Hiatt album, but it should be owned...

John & Julian etc.

John could have been a better father to Julian. That would have made him a better and probably happier person. But despite that, he was a better person with Yoko than he was without her. He could be a jerk. During the LA Pussy Cats period, hanging out with Nillsson while separated from Yoko, he was ...

Pablo Picasso by Burning Sensations That's actually a Jonathan Richman song. Bowie did a kickass cover on his latest album. I'm partial to John Cale's version from Helen of Troy . There's a certain synergy there too, since Cale produced the demos that resulted in the Modern Lovers' eponymous album,...

Aretha Franklin had a pink cadillac song too, but I'm not sure that was its title. It wasn't Bruce's song.

Dwight Yoakam, "Long White Cadillac"
and "Guitars, Cadillacs" (. . . and hillbilly music)

The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide is a wonderful gift. It contains all five novels in the "Hitchhiker trilogy," plus a short story called "Young Zaphod Plays It Safe." Almost anyone who likes to laugh would love having that as a present.
