Ok, BD thinks it's safe to say it's not very hip anymore to sound like Elvis Costello. Maybe because Jack Penate never got really famous, or maybe because it's just not a very hip sound (sad, but true). Anyway, there's this guy from Birmingham called James Rea who's got a nice Elvis Costello thing going.
Check out the song below for example:
James Rea - Quit hanging around
Most of the songs on his Myspace are quite charming, and this is why BD is going to see him play some place called The Miller tonight in London Bridge, of all places. When was the last time we were at a gig in London Bridge, you wonder? NEVER! That's the answer. We've never been there for a gig! We feel like such vagabonds! Maybe we'll have a drink we've never had before, to enhance the whole experience. Make mine a ... shandy!
