Yeah, seriously! I HATE the production (same with So Bad), but it's a beautiful melody (and incredibly hard to sing).

I've spotted Steve Bucemi in the audience at multiple EC shows in NYC. Have also seen Michael McKean, Paul Rudd, Willie Garson, Trisha Yearwood and Caroline Rhea at various shows in recent years.

Ah, yes! I'd forgotten about that one being filmed. The only show I could think of being filmed was Bonnaroo. Wow, I sure hope it's the Montreal concert and that they give us the full show.

According to http://www.musictap.net :

Hip-O Records will release a DVD from Elvis Costello and Allen Toussaint called Hot as a Pistol/Keen as a Blade, scheduling November 21 as the issue date.

Does anybody have any information what will be included on this dvd?

It sounds like a good candidate for the Allen Toussaint collaboration.

Don't know how the recording is yet, but I was at the show and it was a great one. I enjoyed the "Secret Songs" material a lot more in the solo arrangements -- they sounded like folk songs! And "River In Reverse" is incredible -- I'm hoping that's one of the songs he'll record wi...
