I didn't recognise all the musicians. Who else was there?


I think the slide guitarist was Ben Harper and the guy beside Billy Gibbons looked like Elvis Costello.

Here, it's for you!

^It's not a cover. The song was originally written for Robert Wyatt by Elvis Costello and Clive Langer. Costello later recorded it himself.

Jawbox, Fugazi, The Misfits, Mission of Burma, A lot of 80's stuff has punk sounds as well really, The Cure, Elvis Costello...

Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humour.


Hey, why is there plastic everywhere in here?

I just found out that Elvis Costello AND The Police are on tour together and are playing the Hollywood Bowl next week! I just submitted the vid for Oliver's Army (Elvis Costello and the Attractions) right before I noticed this post of yours.

Seriously? No offense, but WHAT THE FUCK are you doing in a comment thread of an artist you you think is "shit balls" and leaving a worthless troll comment??? What are you, 10 years old? Kindly go back to Youtube or Break please. KTHANKXBYE.
