Band Pimping (Flashback): Elvis Costello (Originally published February 4, 2010)

I’ve loved Elvis Costello for some time now, but hadn’t listened to him in a while.  The other day I was sifting through the giant CD book thing in my car and opened to my Costello page.  I popped in his debut album, My Aim Is True, and let it bring a smile to my face.  “Miracle Man”, with its sort of ’50s, sort of punky sound and fantastic lyrical wordplay, has been stuck in my head for days.  Despite its jaded theme, it’s always a mood enhancer for me, so I found a grainy, “artsy” tribute video to it on YouTube and decided to post it.  Enjoy.
