Another great album from 2008 is Elvis Costello's Momofuku! It's a return to that classic Attractions sound, circa 1978. Funky garage-band keyboards from Steve Nieve, and that great twangy Costello guitar. It was a little painful to hear live - he opened for The Police last spring, and whomever was doing the soundboard gave The Attractions a painfully distorted sound. Still, it was worth it to finally see one of my musical heroes live. My friends with me were there to see the Police. Me, I was there to see Elvis Costello! He probably did more songs in 45 minutes than The Police did in 100! Sting came out to sing a verse on Alison. Not bad at all!
Hmm... Setzer played Woodstock '99. Could E have nicked The Brian's guitar?
