He plays here in Brisbane, this Sunday.
I have no idea who to contact to get into the show. Have you?

Be honest. Do you really care about anything he's released in the past ten years? Do you think he's actually going to play "I Want You" or "Indoor Fireworks" so that your heart feels like it's being slowly scraped out of your chest by your ex-girlfriend wielding a runcible spoon?

dude. i saw him play live in Brighton when Charlotte was pregnant with Isaac, not expecting anything whatsoever... and he was absolutely incendiary, couldn't fucking believe it. you know this is me you're talking to, hates fucking bands reforming, haven't listened to one of Costello's new albums in over 15 years, but he fucking rocked.

yeah, I saw him a few years earlier with Burt Bacharach (at the Hollywood Bowl) and it was cheese city, Arizona - not that we cared too much. we was drunk and ready for bawdy merriment

Interviewed by Jeremy Vine on BBC TV about 5 years ago, Elvis stood by every word of Tramp the Dirt Down, so he remains a hero. And I have actually bought all his albums since the first - the Bacharach one is the only album with nothing much to interest me on it. BTW, isn't it sleep time in Australia?!

Try my friend Louisa. She has lots of music contacts. I'm not 100% sure she's still in Brisbane but if she is, she might be able to help. She's on my friend list. I'll send her a message now. Good luck. I think he'd be worth it. He was apparently amazing when he did a concert in the vineyards here a couple of years ago and did heaps of old stuff and I'm sorry I missed it.
