Bonus Elvis Costello on Letterman

Posted by admin in late night TV, Music, streaming video, talk show on November 1, 2010

CBS Late Show with David Letterman is offering bonus web-only content from tonight’s Late Show with David Letterman: “Elvis Costello presents an exclusive web-only bonus performance of Jimmie Standing in the Rain from his new release, National Ransom.”

Understandably the Late Show is not allowing folks to embed this web exclusive content, but I am able to embed Dave’s 2010 Halloween costume sketch instead. This sketch is one of those rare ones that Letterman does every year where he gets to work with kids. I love when Letterman works with kids.

Monologue: Elvis Costello from March 2003

Posted by admin in Uncategorized on April 27, 2010

Last night I enjoyed seeing Elvis Costello play at Atlanta’s Tabernacle. As much as I love his music, I appreciate Costello’s wit almost more.

Rather than trying to describe his wit, I offer a March 2003 example from when he substitute hosted for David Letterman.

The line-up for that night was amazing, it included Eddie Izzard and the late Mitch Hedberg. I wonder if Costello got the itch to do his recent series, Spectacle, from this 2003 experience.
