I put Costello right around Cohen, with a major elevation d/t his Radio stunt on SNL.

(This isn't a sarcastic laugh but a laugh from the heart)
If you're ever in LA, give me a buzz. I have several Grammy winning engineers and producer friends that would fight you to the death over your words. Me? I'm not nearly that passionate about it. I respect The Beatles, Martin, Emerick, Scott, the EMI & Abbey Road guys but I don't and won't defend them 'til death. And as for the Beach Boys, YES. They don't get nearly the pub for their innovative songwriting and recordings publicly as they should. One of my friends manages Brian Wilson. JFC, the stories I could tell... |

Cohen's Hallelujah is beginning to rival McCartney for covers, on the simple premise that telling you what the song is doing to you is sufficient catharsis, while Costello's 'watching the detectives' only reminds you that reggae can be slowed down is weaker sauce.

Sorry to take this convo a million ways but...one artist I really love that I think should get more credit is Josh Rouse. This seems to be shared by almost nobody.
That an Jude...but my case for Jude is much weaker...fell in love with an album in the late 90's and have been waiting for that quality since. |

I bought this "Storytellers VH1" CD at Goodwill and ended up loving it. One of the songs is Elvis Costello. I think it's called, "just a memory," but I'm not sure. The chorus goes, "losing you, is just a memory, memories don't mean that much to me." I scream that song at the top of my longs when I hear it. And ya know what? That is the only Elvis Costello song I've ever heard. I want to check out more of it. Which songs/albums do I start with?

I have a long winded story about Eddie Vedder/Scott Weiland, both of which originated from the same band/guitarist/visionary from San Diego. It was no coincidence that they initially sounded the "same" back in 1992... |

It was Costello that turned me on to the Specials, the Pogues, Nick Lowe, Chet Baker, the Flying Burrito Brothers, the Louvin Brothers, Jesse Winchester and countless others... OH and Aimee Mann... here is one of my favorite songs that they wrote together.. if anyone is interested. |

And once again, I am not trying at all to denigrate the Beatles or any of the engineers mentioned. I absolutely love them and the product produced. I just think the record could be set a little more straight. |

I must warn you that these guys are ****ing brutal. I like and respect The Beatles, while admittedly, not being a fan. But those that are fans: Watch out! http://www.recordingthebeatles.com/ This is an absolutely phenomenal book that I highly recommend to any Beatles aficionado. Not only is there specific information about what microphone was used for several recordings, the photographs are worth the price of admission alone. And Brian is an amazing producer and archivist/mastering engineer in his own right. |
