You could say I came out of retirement.

Just stared spinning The Boy Named If for the first time. I'm on track two and I'm already in love.

Oh my goodness... The Man You Love To Hate...

Kind of a bonkers ranking, but at least it's not boring

I read that since we just did the exercise. Thought it was way weird.

This one has kind of a Tom Waits flavor, at least instrumentally

Big time

EC + Charlie Sexton-augmented Imposters US tour is announced with Nick Lowe opening in select cities. I have half a mind to make the trek up to see a show

Sounds good. Is he playing near KD?

Looks like Ohio is the closest the tour comes to me, about a 5 hour drive. I haven't really returned to concertgoing yet but if tickets are available at a reasonable cost closer to the date of the show and it seems like we're in a decent place COVID-wise, I could manage a trip like that. I'd love to see EC and the Imposters again, and Charlie Sexton is forever endeared to me from his various stints in Dylan's band.

They work so much better with two guitars. I have no idea what took them this long. Charlie should just be a permanent Imposter

I like Senior Service.

Well hey he's got something for everyone

Elvis Costello Reunites With First Band Rusty, Announces Debut Album

Before breaking out of the London pub rock scene with the Attractions, Elvis Costello—then known as D.P. MacManus—joined Allan Mayes’ Liverpool rock band Rusty in early 1972. Though the group toured extensively, they never made it into a recording studio. Now, Costello has reunited with Mayes for their debut album The Resurrection of Rust, out June 10 via EMI/Capitol. In press materials, Costello refers to the album as “the record we would have cut when we were 18, if anyone had let us.”

The LP was produced by Costello and Sebastian Krys, and features six songs drawn from Rusty’s 1972 set lists: covers of Nick Lowe’s “Surrender to the Rhythm” and “Don’t Lose Your Grip On Love,” Jim Ford’s “I’m Ahead If I Can Quit While I’m Behind,” and two originals; “Warm House” and “Maureen and Sam.” The record also includes an arrangement incorporating Neil Young’s “Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere” and “Dance, Dance, Dance.” The latter song features Costello on electric violin. The Resurrection of Rust features Costello and Mayes backed by Costello’s band the Imposters.

The album will be initially available in CD format at Costello’s current tour dates. It will be widely be available on CD June 10 (July 1 for the US), followed by vinyl release later this summer.
