Elvis Costello

Over the last god-knows-how-many-years, lots of people have told me I would like Elvis Costello. But I couldn't get into him. Don't know why. I just didn't get it - the whole Elvis Costello thing. Every time I put him on I could just take it or leave it. In fact, he kind of annoyed me. And now I have been sitting here for several hours fecking about on the computer listening to- you guessed it - Elvis Costello. A best of compilation.

And I suddenly realised I loved it. It was on by mistake, which is really the only time I ever listened to him up till now - see he comes after the Clash on my mp3's on my hard drive, so nearly every time I listen to the Clash it runs on to Elvis Costello, and a lot of the time I'm too busy to even notice. Working away with Elvis Costello playing away in the background, and somewhere along the way he grew on me subconsciously so that tonight suddenly I find myself thinking he's really good. At six minutes forty two seconds long, I can't believe it but 'I want you' is my favourite track.

I know, I know, you told me so and all that, well you were right.
