Comment:

This is what happens when you put all of Elvis Costello's songs in a blender (sans live versions for mix flow purity) and hit "frappe" and let it run until you come up with a perfect 80 minute mix. Songs were chosen randomly and in order, but not every song is the first random choice for its slot. I think this was the best way to come up with a completely fucking weird Costello mix. It works, if you ask me. (Oh, and I'm just going to credit it all to Elvis Costello, because ... whatever.)

GAWD this is bizarre. Some of these must be on the new reissues because I haven't heard of a handful of them (I own the Rykos).

I must add that I think it's rather cool that the last track to fit was "Dissolve."

Some great selections here. I finally picked up the "This year's Model" CD with the extra CD of outakes and live stuff. Don't know why I waited so long.

I had a chance to meet Elvis C. at March's Indepedent Film Producer's Awards in Santa Monica. He had opened the show with an acoustic version of 'Peace, Love and Understanding". What a talented, cordial and nice guy.
