hahaha, the part where you mention RM as "a message board for a band that shall remain nameless", you say "that shall remain nameless" like you're very serious about not talking about it and you're warning the guy not to dare ask you about it or else
Damn Jorge! What a great listen.
I also dug the recommendations. I would add Paté de Fuá and maybe Él Mató a un Policía Motorizado (I know Paté is not entirely from Argentina, but they're right up Costello's dixieland jazzy stuff).
Solid.

Thanks man!
El Mató / the whole Laptra scene is cool. I don't see a whole lot of parallels with EC but I do like them.
I've actually never heard of Paté de Fuá... I'll look into them

Their latest 2021 release is a covers album, so maybe leave that one for the end

I just found this version of "Tripwire" from one of the remix releases... same vocal and new backing by Menahan Street Band. Beautiful stuff.

Had never heard of this so I just YouTubed it -- even the non-decent version is pretty nice! Looks like it's a Cat Stevens cover from a movie?
Edit: also really liked the "Tripwire" remix that Jorge posted above.

Yes, I believe it's from The Invention of Lying. No official release has been made available.
