Elvis Costello "Decades" is on VH1 Classic.  His guest artists are Fiona Apple, Billie Joe Armstrong and Death Cab For Cutie.  It's worth checking out if you have the channel.

I don't think so.  Could be though.  "Decades" is a concert series on VH1 Classic.  The featured artist invites musicians who were influenced by his/her music to perform together live.  They call it Decades becuase they mix older artists with younger ones.

I saw them at Jazz Fest in New Orleans.  It was really a terrific set.That's how they got together in the first place, Jazz Fest '05.

I didn't want to start a new thread for this, but this is really cool news!<a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060802/en_nm/costello_dc_1" target="_self">Costello albums set for another round of reissues</a>   NEW YORK (Billboard) - Universal Music's reissue arm has acquired 11 albums from <a title="Related information on Elvis Costello" href="http://search.news.yahoo.com/search/news/?p=Elvis+Costello" onclick="activateYQinl(this);return false;">Elvis Costello</a>'s early catalog, with plans to re-release the British musician's material via deluxe editions, compilations and box sets. The albums acquired begin with Costello's 1977 debut, "My Aim Is True," and continue through "This Year's Model" (1978), "Armed Forces" (1979), "Get Happy!!" (1980), "Almost Blue" (1981), "Trust" (1981), "Imperial Bedroom" (1982), "Punch the Clock" (1983), "Goodbye Cruel World" (1986), "King of America" (1986) and "Blood and Chocolate" (1986).Although these albums have already been reissued in expanded form by Rykodisc as well as Rhino, Universal Music Enterprises promises its new versions will be the "definitive reissues." The company also plans to produce limited edition releases for its Hip-O Select imprint, DVDs of videos and concerts and usher Costello's music into new formats such as ringtones.

This message was edited by PapaBear on 8-2-06 @ 5:05 PM this is at least the third wave of re-issuing ... i love the guy, i try to see him every time he's in town (in all incarnations/genres), but how many times am i to buy the same core albums ...?
