10. It would be impossible.
Costello is the benchmark by which modern songwriting should be judged.

5. Wouldn't it?!
Edited on Wed Sep-22-04 11:28 PM by dweller
but i suspect it may be a Bacarach/Costello composition.

no, i think i meant fear it would be.

8. I think it was from his new CD, wasn't a song I had heard
Edited on Thu Sep-23-04 09:06 AM by tigereye
it was pretty good, but I bet you know someone who taped it...

Steve Nieve is sooo cool.

11. I believe he has two CD's out.
One regular (The Delivery Man), one classical (Il Sogno).

Isn't that his fifth record in eighteen months?
When I Was Cruel, Cruel Smile, North, and these two.

Not bad for a fifty year old.

13. don't feel too bad
it was good, but not as good as some of his other appearances there. I liked it when Elvis filled in for Dave a few years ago. He was really funny. Hi RQ, how are ya?

14. His best was on SNL a while back
He started out playing one song, then ripped right into "Radio, Radio", pissing off NBC's executives.
