post #1000000 devoted to Elvis Costello

i've been having a bit of a SUCKY week & the only thing that's been really keeping me going is Elvis (especially Get Happy!!, GOD that album is gorgeous) so i thought he deserved a little love. i am very grateful he exists.

this is the cover of Punch the Clock, which M & i listened to recently in Athens, in the car everywhere we drove. we think his look is saying, "Oh, me?" in a seductive, coy tone.


M & i made fun of his song "Shabby Doll" because he keeps singing "shabbydoll" over & over again & it's really silly. HAHA. but it's okay, because we're both in love with him. Elvy knows it's all in good fun.
hear for yourself:


i made a list of my favorite Elvis songs about a year ago, & i decided to make a new one, because i think it's changed a lot. this is just like VERY VERY FAVORITES, 'cos i have about a million favorites.
