I got into Elvis Costello because my brother borrowed my recorded Oingo Boingo tape and taped ‘Watching the Detectives’ on the end of it. While he was on his mission, I started buying my own CD’s and one of the first was the Best of Elvis Costello and the Attractions. I basically bought it to impress my brother, but when I told him that I bought it, he said that he didn’t really like him that much. Well, by that time I had begun to like Elvis Costello quite a lot.
I think a lot of my personality traits come from spending my childhood trying to impress my older brothers. They’re good guys and impressing them was probably a good pursuit. 😉
This is also a good use of time…

I love this guy.
