However,

Bryan Ferry + Brian Eno > pretty much anything.

I heard that spaced out version of Warm Jets in car. Fucking incredible.

Circle released two brilliant albums this year that contain similar tracklists. We listened to the 8-minute studio version of 'Warm Jets' from the album Manner in the car, but you have yet to experience the fully fleshed 12-minute live rendition!

I have never listened to Elvis Costello. Any recommendations on what to start out with?

Elvis has a lot of material, and not all of it is great. The reason Elvis Costello still matters anymore is his work with his original band, the Attractions. His best work was released between 1977 and 1983 -- My Aim is True and especially Armed Forces are solid fucking gold. Personally my favorite is Punch the Clock, although that album arguably contains the first forerunners of schmaltziness that would render most of the last twenty years of his career entirely irrelevant.

Any of the three I mentioned would be excellent starting points. If you want to go with a proper album, you really can't beat Armed Forces. Honestly, though, Elvis has one of the most incredible greatest hits comps of all time -- The Best of Elvis Costello and the Attractions. I wouldn't say this about almost anyone else, but that's probably the actual best place to start. You'll probably be surprised at how many of the chunes on there you already know.

I'd wager that Seattle's bargain bins are littered with copies of that disc.

I will be looking in Bellingham but probably the same here. By the way, I have been searching for Another Green World on vinyl ever since you recommended Eno to me and that is a difficult one to find!

Not as difficult as you might think, actually -- I just picked up a copy of Another Green World on vinyl about eight months ago. There was a really nice re-press of it that came out of (I think) Japan. They re-pressed all of Eno's albums from Warm Jets to Science, and they sound fucking great.

If I see another copy somewhere, I'll grab it for you. I still owe you for that Subterranean Modern.

Also: come to Treefort, dude.

Right on. I wish I could come to Treefort but I have some obligations already. That sounds like it is going to be a blast though.

I picked up a used CD copy of The Best of Elvis Costello and the Attractions and listened to it today. I didn't recognize too many songs. Will Elvis Costello and the Imposters be playing these songs at Sasquatch?

That's interesting. I've known, like, 'Allison' and 'The Angels Wanna Wear My Red Shoes' and 'Oliver's Army' and 'Watching the Detectives' and 'Peace, Love and Understanding' since I was five years old. Anyway, one can only hope that he'll pull at least a couple of those chunes out when he plays with the Impostors, because the shit he's recorded with the Impostors is fucking terrible.

Fortunately 'Watching the Detectives' is probably the one song that most Elvis Costello fans will require out of him at every performance. It's like 'Birdhouse in Your Soul' for TMBG, or 'The Distance' for Cake. It's the reason most people are there in the first place.

Personally, I'd shit my pants for 'Oliver's Army'.
