It's called the Juliet Letters or something like that. Some of it was
played on BBCs Late Show a couple of weeks back. I'm usually a big EC
fan but this was sheer drivel.

I read a very bad review of it, which said that it didn't work on any
level. In the reviewers opinion, voices and string quartets aren't
meant to mix.

He's a bit hit and miss... take "Almost Blue" for example, I loved
this but hardly anyone else does. His early stuff I love (doesn't
everyone say that?) but the last few albums have been a bit dire.
At least he keeps trying to come up with something different and I
always hope I'm going like what he does.

| Hasn't he just penned an album for Wendy James too?
Apparently they only met briefly and that was AFTER he'd written the
album for her. She wrote him a letter saying she'd love to work with
him.
Could be either brilliant or absolutely terrible.
Anyone heard any of it?

| Just as a note of interest, there is an lengthly interview and article
with Elvis Costello about the new stuff in this months Q magazine (the
issue with Sting and Bob Geldof on the cover).

| Taking this ever further from EC, that issue of Q has a brilliant
copyright notice on the first page. Under the standard bit about "This
magazine shall not be blah blah" there's a remark along the lines of
"and Bob Geldof's remarks shall not on any account be shown to Mike
Tyson."
Q, as if it mattered, rates the EC album very highly.

| Well, the interview with Geldof and Sting asked the question......
Would you rather
a) Watch me sh*g your missus or
b) Be taken up the Gary Glitter by 'Iron' Mike Tyson.
In depth, huh ?

release comes out this month.

Only the vocals are Elvis Costello. The rest of JWH is equal parts
Jackson Browne (callow mopishness), Linda Ronstadt (apparent IQ), and
Engelbert Humperdink (stupid name).

His real name is Wesley Harding, so it's not as though he stretched it.
He may not be as talented as Elvis Costello, but he's sure a lot cuter!
