This is the most intelligent, most knowledgeable interviewer I've ever seen Elvis be interviewed by. His knowledge of the first few years of Costello's career is, for a guy his age, who didn't live it the first time around, stellar.
One of the more insightful interviewers I’ve heard. Knowing enough to ask the right questions, but not too much, and trying to rush Elvis to get the anecdote out. I wrote a college paper, analyzing Everyday I Write the Book as a poem. It succeeds on so many levels. I still crank it up when I hear it on the (local alternative) radio!
Yeah, we did and we do, but I’m convinced a lot of people who liked his music when it hit the charts just enjoyed the sound. How else to explain the paltry numbers on RUclips content where he appears?
I'm the same age as Elvis so I find it interesting that the little children of the post 70's are now fully grown grey hair adults and appreciate the music made before they were born more than the adults who were there at the time.
There are certain artist’s catalogues you can boil down into an essential playlist or a single CD ‘greatest hits’, but Elvis Costello isn’t one of them. To see him as just the catchy hits from the late 70’s/early 80’s does his work an injustice.
No...YOU have !!! and when it doesn't happen you will say that an imaginary entity didn't want it for you ...Make your OWN fkn destiny, be the best you can be at what YOU want to be ffs !!!

I mean, he did, he said he was 7 when he heard pump it up. But, the concept of research also exists.
Elvis Costello is one of the greatest songwriters of all-time! He’s the greatest lyricist, surpassing even Bob Dylan.
À
Ok
Nah
@@StratsRUs yah
That's what I've thought since I first heard him. Plus he writes actual tunes. To me, he's THE greatest singer-songwriter ever.
Legend. One of the greatest songwriters of all time and one of my favourite artists ever

Attention! PBS, BBC! Do a documentary with him today. Nobody is as important as Elvis C. for so many decades.
Hello
100 %
huuuuuge fave of mine....met him twice, luckily...
A living legend!
No one listens to the words? I have always loved his words!
His lyrics are 2nd to none, well maybe Lennon & McCartney, but very very close.

Wish he talked more about imperial bedroom...

A good time to listen to EC is when you are in an angry mood.
Yeah, even his “sweet” songs have an edge.
A compositional colossus whose extraordinary oeuvre has enriched my life for nearly four decades.
Elvis is a legend! And what a fantastic job by Zane Lowe on the interview. Great stuff!!
🔥🔥
Talking of package tours, in the 60s Jimi Hendrix supported Englebert Humperdinck! Apparently they became hugely respectful of each other.

Hello from Liverpool
I saw elvis at mountford hall in Liverpool in the 70s and I’m sure he done Name of the game by abba
Knowing Me, Knowing You, which he once described as 'the greatest song about divorce ever written'.
What's his necklace?
I remember him before he was EC with Rusty with Allan Mayes?
Declan
He played a brief reunion gig with Allan Mayes when EC played in Austin, TX in early 2023.
He was young first Married?
God has a plan for me to be a successful artist one day 🙏🏽💯💫

Hello
Elvis is a God but these dorky rock journalist types who are always on these interviews are insufferable.
But this guy is NOT a dorky rock journalist type. He's knowledgeable, perceptive and, clearly, Declan digs him.
Funnily enough, Van Halen claimed Elvis Costello was so popular with rock journalists because he looks like them!
I agree, this guy licked a lot of butts, including, mostly, his own.
