Reissue Revelry
Having sold my iPod a some months ago (who really needs one anyway?), I’ve found myself burning “a few” CDs of invaluable albums to play on the stereo at the bike shop. These are the choice cuts, the jams, the desert-island albums, the necessary noises.
One of these albums is a copy of Elvis Costello’s This Year’s Model (which totally warrants investigation). Specifically the 1993 Rykodisc reissue containing the demo recordings of Running Out Of Angels, Greenshirt, and Big Boys. These are the kinds of songs that worm their way throughout my auditory cortex and are so welcome to do so.
I learned how to play all three of them tonight, but in order to keep this collection of covers balanced, I only recorded one. For your enjoyment here is Big Boys.

I’m on my mom’s computer (a.k.a. super slow dial up, no speakers), so listening will have to wait.
